I was gifted a Kindle Paperwhite (hand-me-down from my father), and have taken full advantage of the LAPL’s ebook selection lately. We pay a monthly fee for Spotify, so I am revisiting music from my past and building playlists. In between, I fill silence with podcasts and emailed newsletters and the stack of books on my bedside table. I spend my time pondering the cracks in the parking lot while in line at the grocery store, observing the back-lit foliage outside our apartment, and endlessly brushing our three cats. Mending socks and crocheting a never-ending rug of scrap yarn, lost in my thoughts but never mired. Making time for all of these activities comes naturally, and I feel myself finally coming home.
