  1. That's okay. I've got plenty of e-books on my Kindle so that solves that problem.
  2. This is why I read. Besides the entertainment value, it gets my mind off of the stress of the day from working and allows me to focus on something else. It's a bit of a stress reliever for me.

    If we have a snow day here, I normally stay inside and read. I have plenty of literature to read if I get stuck inside.
  4. In the beginning of the series, Draco Malfoy was a spoiled little rich kid who got whatever he wanted. In his second year, he made the quidditch team for Slytherin but only because his father bought new brooms for the entire team. However, later in the series, we find out that he is being tasked with trying to find a way for the Death Eaters to get into Hogwarts and then he has to kill Dumbledore. Some people believe he was only given that task after his father failed at getting the prophesy regarding Harry & Voldemort from the Ministry of Magic. Regarding Umbridge, she's just evil. Yes, Voldemort is pure evil and the real villain of the series. But Umbridge pretended to be a good person when really she was just hiding how horrible she really is.

    What do you normally do during inclement weather? What are your plans if there is ever a "snow day"? Do you attempt to make it to work/school or do you not bother?
  6. I'll admit that I didn't feel at little bad for Draco Malfoy at the beginning of the Harry Potter series. I eventually did later on, especially by the events of the final book. I don't feel bad for Umbridge though.

    Did you see where Hogwarts Legacy II is in development? I was talking with someone else about this earlier today.
  9. This is why I read. It's a way to escape after a long day at work. It allows me to redirect my attention to something else that I find entertaining.
  10. Having a brain injury can hurt a lot of things, not just your ability to read. Some people end up having to re-learn how to walk, talk, chew their food, etc.
  11. What are your thoughts on this? ConsequenceJohn Lithgow to play Dumbledore in Harry Potter TV seriesJohn Lithgow is set to play Albus Dumbledore in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series.

    I definitely do my cooking and dishes during the week once I get home. But if I have to do something like pick up a prescription for my hubby.....I'd rather do that as soon as I get off work so that I don't have to get out on my day off. If I have to mow the yard, I'd rather do that when I get off so that I don't have to do that on a day off as well.

    Normally, yes. At my previous job, one of the "holidays" you got every year was your birthday. You could take your birthday off and get paid for it. However, you had to request that they give it to you like you do your vacation time. Last year, I only took off my actual birthday and that was it (this is at my current job). This year, I'm going to be off for a full 7 days for my birthday. I've requested the days I want and they've been approved already.
  14. I'm normally working on the weekends so I'm not really enjoying myself come the weekend. My days off are normally during the week (unless I'm on vacation).
