I got through most of the books I intended to read, plus the three ARCs I needed to finish before their release dates in September. Good job, me! … Continue reading August Summary and September Preview

Soo... This week didn't go quite as planned. We had three super busy days at work thanks to a long-planned event. The lead-up to it had been stressing me out for the past couple of weeks, and I am so glad to be done with it. That was planned. I'd been dreading it, but I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/14/2019

I went for a walk anyway, but that ended early when the lightning started. An hour or so later, the tornado sirens went off and the National Weather Service issued a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 05/12/2019
