Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
My
posts for the link up will go live on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT or, if
you live in the future like I do, on Fridays at 3:30 a.m. CE(S)T.
End of October, the clocks went back in Germany and other countries, and the USA followed last week.
Does the time change confuse you? My cats weren't confused. They made very clear that I simply have to get up whenever they want me to, no matter what time it is. Who spoiled them so much?
If you read my post about rainy days the other day, you will know that I'm not a fan of daylight saving and I don't mind it getting dark earlier now. Actually, it gives me a cozy feeling. I have never been one to have all the lights on in my flat, I like the dark with just a bit of light here and there. It would be really nice to have some candles around, but open flames around my cats are a no-go and way too risky for my taste.

Are you ready for the weekend now?
As part of the reboot, we will be featuring a different blog every week.
How about stopping by and saying hello? Let them know we sent you.
This week, our spotlight is on Living Outside the Stacks.
Danael says "I'm the blogger and photographer behind Living Outside the Stacks. ... I have been addicted to clothes and coffee since I was a kid. My unique fashion style is heavily influenced by my childhood in Italy. ... I've been a librarian for over twenty years. ... A little over a decade ago, The Hubs bought me my first camera and I've been chasing light ever since. ... My faith is important to me and is reflected in everything I do."
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household - The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Cat from Cat's Wire has what she calls a jumping spider brain. She has many interests and will blog about whatever catches her attention - crafts, books, old movies, collectibles or random things.
Rena from Fine Whatever Blog writes about style, midlife, and the "fine whatever" moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she's been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
Here are some of my picks from last week's link up.
Do you love Monet? Read what Joanne shares about her immersive Monet experience!
Angie tells us how to fall in love with the dark romance style.
As a librarian, I'm legally bound to feature the post by Lisa about a brave librarian - in "The Mummy"! She and Erin have a Comfy, Cozy Cinema event going on for the season.
(Also check out Erin's post!)
Amy's winter squash mac and cheese, now does that sound yummy or what?
Let's link up!
You can add links to specific blog posts of yours, but not just to your blog itself. The posts can be new or older and cover any topic you can think of - books, movies, fashion, crafting, thrifting, travel, art ... but only family friendly, please!
Have a look around, visit some of the other blogs and leave a few comments. You might discover something new and exciting!
Thank you for linking up with us!

You are welcome, Deb, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteThanks so much for the party, Cat! We appreciate you and your cohosts and all you do to support this community of bloggers! We're sharing #30 today. Happy November!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome and a happy November to you, too!
DeleteThank you very much for hosting and have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy, the same to you!
DeleteMy Jack's belly hasn't switched times, either. He's definitely hungry an hour earlier. I do like the earlier darkness, too. I'm just glad I don't have to drive into the sunrises anymore. I think everyone liked Angie's Dark Romance post!

I heard them from a lot of dog people, but not so much from cat people. I think those just don't want to admit that they give in to their overlords' demands!
DeleteEmotionally, I am unaffected by the time change, but my body doesn’t like it - fall or spring. It seems to dislike it even more the older I get. Valentino adapted after a few days. He doesn’t care about eating first thing in the morning. I’m very glad of that, because the bossy, little guy is pretty demanding most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI think my body doesn't mind the fall change because it returns to what feels more natural to it which is probably the dark? I really struggle with the one in spring.
DeleteGundel has become almost as bad as der Dekan regarding food. She used to just sit and wait for me to do the right thing, but he has taught her that it's more fun to annoy the human.
Give our bossy, little guy a kiss from me!
I will! And give Gundel and Der Dekan one for me. 😄
