Monthly Wrap Up August 2024

August has been hot and humid here in New York, just like it has been basically everywhere. I’ve still been spending a lot of time inside the house, but lately I have had fatigue that is off the charts, combined with nighttime insomnia. It’s really difficult to function […]

State Of The ARC #42

I finished July with 35 ARCs left to be read.  August feels like it went by in the blink of an eye, didn’t it? My finances took a big hit, with my car needing an expensive repair, 3 of my dogs needing vet visits, then my car needing […]

July 2024 Monthly Wrap Up

July is over and we’re into August, which means we’re just a tiny bit closer to autumn starting and this oppressive heat breaking. It’s been really hot on Long Island, and there’s been air quality alerts most days. This isn’t the best kind of weather for asthmatics like […]

State Of The ARC #41

I finished June with 29 ARCs left to be read.  July was a really tough month for me. The heat has been brutal for me, with my heat intolerance and my POTS (postural orthostatic hypertension syndrome) combining to make it a difficult month to get out and do […]

April was hectic for me. The weather was gross, with windy rainstorms for so much of the month, and on top of that, we had the kitchen redone. It was spur of the moment, so a lot of the month was spent wondering where things were and just […]

State Of The ARC #37

I finished February with 29 ARCs left to be read.  Spring is definitely in the air, and I’m happy to see the weather starting to warm up and things starting to grow again. March was a busy month for me, but I still got a lot accomplished. I […]

Monthly Wrap Up February 2024

February was mainly devoted to taking care of two rowdy puppies that just turned 3 months old. And by taking care of, I mean cleaning up after. The rescue told us that they were chihuahua mixes based on the mom, but I think that mix was really diluted […]

State Of The ARC #36

I finished January with 31 ARCs left to be read.  Is it just me or did winter fly by? It felt like it was just December, and here we are at the start of a new month! Even though it’s a leap year, February still went by really […]
