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 […]
I’ve been struggling for the last few months, and this month was another month aboard the struggle bus, both physically and mentally. On top of all that, I’ve been trying to finish up my holiday shopping, since Chanukah starts in less than a week from today! But in […]
August is finally over, and I can’t wait for the autumn weather to arrive. I’ve already gotten my fall scented hand soaps for the bathroom, and I am seriously looking forward to saying goodbye to summer. Sorry to all of you hot weather lovers, I need the temps […]

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 […]
