Pride Month is over. In truth, it didn't really feel like Pride Month. It felt more like Wrath Month. Ah, well. I saw an old friend, met up with my writing group for the first time in over a year, and visited my brother. Oh, and I joined a book club and completed a mini… Continue reading June Wrap-Up
I GUESS IT'S (almost) JULY NOW. I set a 175-book goal for 2021. So far, I've read 120 books. In other words, I've completed 69% of my goal and am ahead by 34 books. Math is wild!

You might not know this about me, but I cry a lot. I learned in a college class (Psychology 101, perhaps?) that a good cry cleanses your body of toxins. Crying, it turns out, is good for you.

I JUST FINISHED THE FIRST CLASS IN MY EDITING COURSE. ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO. Once again, I don't really remember the month gone by. I experienced things but I DID NOT REMEMBER THEM. I did get my second vaccine and am now fully inoculated, so there's that. Oh, I also started a new Stardew… Continue reading May Wrap-Up

I recently discovered a podcast about people who love cereal as much as I do. It got me thinking about my favorite comfort cereals. Any time I feel tired or homesick or dehydrated, I make a bowl of my favorite cereal. I can't and won't join the Protein for Breakfast club. I refuse. I love… Continue reading Comfort Cereals

I'm listening to You're Wrong About's episode on the Romanovs. This sad choice reminded me that Jessica tagged me in the Medieval Queens Book Tag. (I have a lot of feelings about the Romanovs.) This tag was created by Jess @ Jessticulates, btw. (Truly wonderful graphics at that blog.) Empress Matilda (1102-1167)After her father, Henry… Continue reading The Medieval Queens Book Tag
Happy April! School is kicking my butt! I'm struggling! I feel like I have a lot to do at all times. I have numerous errands to complete this week and I'm just...so tired. Also, I genuinely do not remember a single thing that happened last month. Let's do stats. April Stats In April, I completed… Continue reading April Wrap-Up: A blur
