I'm up earlier than usual because I woke up around 4-ish and I was immediately wide awake. Since starting wellbutrin that happens a lot. Ironically, even with the early wake up times, I started to feel more rested overall after starting the medication, so that's something.

Today was the first time in a long time Sophie has gone outside for me in the morning. Usually she won't get up until Husband takes her out, and he feeds her breakfast after. It was gloriously cold outside, and the light from the flashlight made everything glitter under the frost.

I'm planning my 2025 reading goals/tbr. This will be the first time I'm starting the year with an actual reading list I'll be trying to stick to. I'll share it somewhere near the end of December but before January 1st.

Shocking nobody, the list is primarily fantasy, with some romantasy and a dash of scifi, with one contemporary and one nonfiction title added for flavor. (BTW, I'm always on the hunt for a good scifi mech or dinosaur series, but I balk at scifi things written by men because I've been burned too many times by bad depictions of women and supposedly romantic subplots. If you have recs, feel free to share.) I'll be keeping the arbitrary 50 books in a year goal that started on goodreads way back when.

For book tracking, I use storygraph now. I don't generally do social things on bookish sites, but feel free to add me if you like. I make no apologies about what random weird stuff you may see, though. Reading goals aside, I'm a mood reader at heart and sometimes those moods take me down some weird rabbit holes.

I'm devising a points system (XP? Not sure yet.) to go with the reading goals. To me this makes it more fun, especially since the idea is to be generous when awarding points and possible "achievements" to make it extra enjoyable. Who doesn't love watching-number-go-up motivation XD
