Yesterday
Love the confused looks & double-takes from people when they see me wearing my elf earbuds.
Yesterday
Made myself take the city bus to a local coffee shop/communal workspace, & I haven't been this productive in MONTHS.
Definitely need to do this more often.
Gonna miss this coffee shop when I move :(

I love Libby!
Also, it lets you use multiple library cards at once, so if you're someone like me who moves a lot (cries) & gets a library card at each new place, it gives you a wider range of materials to check out!
