I had a minor surgery on my shoulder the first day of May, so I spent a lot of the month recovering. However, it did have the unexpected bonus of allowing me more time to get reading done. I did manage to get out of the house for […]
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 […]
I always love the fresh start of a new year, with all the different lines of possibility open to me and everything in store. My reading habits are back on the upswing, so hopefully that weird little funk is behind me, and I can continue on with the […]
December was a busy month for me, just like I’m sure it was busy for a lot of you. It was also a time to evaluate what worked for me in 2023, what I wanted to carry with me into 2024, and what I wanted to leave in […]

July went by in a flash, and it was a super hectic month for me. My mom had a fall and while she didn’t break anything (yay!) she did have a huge wound on her knee (boo!), so there was a lot of driving back and forth between […]
