| 0:00.0 | Hi, everyone back to Bad on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia Mentor. |
| 0:23.0 | And today we're doing an episode that is a whole deep dive into our reading lives. I mean, I think we could, we can maybe call it Life of a Book Girl. |
| 0:32.1 | I'm ready. I have the fireplace going behind me. It is a bright and sunny October morning and I'm ready to |
| 0:38.6 | talk about my favorite thing, really. Yeah, you brought the vibes. I try. Well, tell me about your high. |
| 0:45.3 | Okay, so my high is going off of my low last week, which was that I was feeling very off. Like, |
| 0:52.0 | I just felt kind of scattered and not myself. |
| 0:55.8 | And I've had a really slow week this week. |
| 0:59.2 | And I've really been listening to myself instead of trying to just be productive at all costs. |
| 1:04.9 | And I feel less off, which is the goal. |
| 1:09.3 | Good. |
| 1:10.0 | Yeah. |

| 1:23.5 | Don't you love how that can be the case? Just a few nights of good sleep, some rest. |
| 1:29.1 | Or like new. Some reading, some painting, some hobbies, less scrolling. |
| 1:34.2 | Good way to kick off the month. Yeah. I said rabbit rabbit on October 1st. Are you a rabbit rabbit |
| 1:39.4 | person? No, I only really know that in relation to Sarah Jessica Parker because she always posts it. Oh. I don't, is there a meaning behind it? I don't actually know. I don't know what the origin is, but it's something that my mom always told me as a kid. The first words out of your mouth have to be rabbit rabbit on the first of the month, and it brings luck. Oh, I didn't know that. |
| 2:03.9 | I just was like, this is a quirky thing that Sarah Jessica Parker does. |
| 2:05.0 | That's nice. |
| 2:06.9 | Well, maybe it's paid off already. |
| 2:07.5 | Yeah. Good luck. |
