    It’s already September?

    As I write this, I have been working from home for nearly 6 months. That seems like a long time, and it kind of feels that way. It also, doesn’t? What I mean is that time doesn’t seem to have the same kind of flow that it used to when I went into work. The weekends I used to crave now feel like every other day of the week. It’s not because I’m not working, but more because there really isn’t anywhere to go. Or at least, not if you’re trying to be a responsible human. The hubby and I…

    Green things, and what not.

    Happy Monday once again friends! Monday’s look a lot different to me since I’ve been home for so long. They mark a new week where time kind of feels like it has no meaning, and yet time continues to march forward. It is the oddest feeling. As of tomorrow I’ll have been home from work for 5 months, and it’s rather surreal. I miss my friends a ton, but I also feel very blessed to be so healthy right now. Anyway I hope you all don’t mind if I ramble at you a bit. It’s been a weird weekend of…

    Reading in the Time of the Pandemic.

    You probably saw this title and already figured out that this post was going to be about me lamenting my lack of reading lately. Hilariously, I’ve actually read more in the last few weeks than I have in a while but they’ve all been audio books. Oh, and pretty much all middle grade. I have a happy place I go to when I’m stressed out, and this is it. It’s odd to me that reading used to be my escape, but now I can’t sit still long enough to read a real book for longer than a few chapters. My…

    Checking In

    Greetings friends! I know things have been a little quiet the last few weeks around here, but I won’t apologize because I think everyone understands. We’re starting week 9 of quarantine and I don’t know about you guys, but it’s hard on me. This isn’t all going to be a rant I just want to acknowledge that a lot of people are struggling with a million different things right now, myself included, and that’s okay. This shit is hard, but so very important. Over a quarter of a million people have died from Covid-19 worldwide and it’s not over yet.…

    KPop Friday

    Yes friends, I’m back to mowing my way through books! Huzzah! Unfortunately my reviewing skills are shaky and my review of The Ninth House is taking forever. So in the meantime I’m going to give you a glimpse into my other obsession…. KPop music. Yup. You heard that right. Today’s song is from my favorite group, and the one that got me into KPop music, SEVENTEEN! These thirteen guys are highly talented, I tell you what. They compose their own songs, choreograph their own music, and also have weekly shows they put out for their fans. This particular song is…

    Groundhog Days

    Does anyone have a firm grasp on what day it is anymore? I laughed out loud when I saw this The Awkward Yeti comic because this is exactly how I feel right now. If it weren’t for the fact that I have school to focus on, and doctor’s appointments to keep to, I’m pretty sure I’d be lost. As it stands, I thought yesterday was Sunday for a full half of a day. This new normal is taking some getting used to, even though I’d settled into an okay groove. In case you missed it, I actually posted a review…

    Hopping on by.

    How are we all holding up friends? I’ll be honest, I’ve reached the point where I keep forgetting what day of the week it is. My only marker is that I have online class once a week, and so that’s how I know that it’s Wednesday. Hahaha. I don’t know what I’m going to do when it changes days. Staying at home seems like such a simple task, but my brain is reaching that marker where it actually misses challenges. So I think it might be time to find a new hobby again. It’s what I do when I’m in…

    April Fools?

    Yeah, my house isn’t this nice either. Don’t worry. Hahaha. I think while we’re all snug at home our houses may look a little more what I like to call “lived in”. A puzzle here, a coffee mug there, that book you were reading but abandoned (with the page saved just in case) sitting on the couch arm. Yup, cozy. Lived in. Perfectly you. I can’t be the only one out there who feels like these last few weeks have a been a blur. March has felt like a month that extended well beyond its intended 31 days, and yet…

    Best Laid Plans and Other Nonsense

    Greetings dear friends. It has been far too long since I’ve stopped in to say hello. Or perhaps it has only been a few weeks. Time feels irrelevant at the moment as days feel forever long and each day brings new information and challenges. I’m sure most of you already are, or will be soon, under quarantine orders. Social distancing is SUPER IMPORTANT so please make sure you’re following all CDC guidelines. I’m not here to be on a soapbox just please keep your distance so we can all get back to some level of normal soon. PRETTY PLEASE. Okay,…

    Zen Wishes

    Currently very much wishing that I was somewhere as zen as this. I’ve been slowly working my way back into reading. I’m up to about 1 to 2 chapters a night! That’s a big deal, trust me. I’ve also been trying to hone my reviewing skills again. I finished reading a book written by one of my amazing friends, and I want to review it so badly. Every time I sit down and try though, my brain gets all jumbled up. I used to be able to type up a review in a matter of minutes, flawlessly describing every little…
