August was a more relaxing month, and I got more reading done. My mom is doing a lot better, and things have calmed down at home, although I used that time to take care of more of my own health issues. Reading is my number one coping skill, […]
June was a busy month for me, and it was still pretty stressful. I’m so grateful for my friends and good books, because they’ve kept me from completely falling apart. In other news, America officially sucks and I’m so embarrassed to live here. Reading has become an escape […]
May was one of the most stressful months that I can remember in a long time. We had to put one of my dogs to sleep, and another dog went into congestive heart failure the next week, followed by some major health issues for my mom resulting in […]

Fall is finally here! I’m one of those people who love fall, so I’ve been reveling in pumpkin spice coffee and enjoying the cooler weather. September was a really busy month with a lot of Jewish holidays, and that meant a lot of downtime with the family and […]
July was a rough month for me. The heat was really tough on me, even though I’m well aware that my area didn’t have it nearly as bad as a lot of other areas. And I’m definitely glad for that! The month kind of dragged by, and I’m […]
