Lots of learning to do.

I reached out to a dog trainer friend for I'ro. We are making progress, but I need better structure to teach him more, and since this is my first time training a dog with his energy level and temperament, help is much appreciated. He loves the training times now when the trainer is here, but …

Reader, it has been a while

I have fallen hard off of the writing bandwagon. I'm not even writing in my personal journals or responding to mail. This past bit has been... well, it has been something. I feel that I have grown a lot and also not at all. I want to write, I just can't force myself. I need …

A Blessed Morning

On a blessed morning, I'ro will allow me to sleep until 7 am. Today I woke before the sun, 5:30 am. Tail wagging and small nibbling, the puppy let me know that he was ready to get up and go. But, first, I had to do the human business of putting my socks on, brushing …

What are we gonna do, 2022?

Presently, I'm trying to keep everything together. I took a much needed break from most social media for a while. I also took a break from reading and focused more on watching movies and YouTube videos. I wish I could say that it made me feel better and that I am a new person again, …

Hero: An Adjustment.

I am having a rough go of things, y'all. Long story short, I have a dog again. I'ro was the name given to him, but we tweaked that a bit to Hero. And that's what this pup is to me. He's my hero. Because he just keeps going. All day, he loves to run around …

January 2021 Wrap Up

We made it through our first month of 2021. How is everyone doing? Everyone okay? This month was a welcome return to semi-normal for me. I feel like I've become more attached to my blog than ever, and I can't wait to see how my reading stats change this year. This month, while almost normal, …

5 Series I started in 2020

While I commend myself for catching up and finishing quite a few series in 2020 (post here), I did begin a few as well. Here is a list of books in which I have only read the first one, or first few. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them if you've read them (and …

Off the Grid Readathon TBR | Jan 15-17 2021

This readathon was created by Shanah from Bionic Bookworm (YouTube) and Justine from I Should Read That in 2019. Read the original post here, watch the video announcement here, and follow @OffTheGridReads on Twitter. For quite a few years now I've been tempted to buy a cabin in the woods to renovate it and live …

10 TV Series to finish in 2021

I am the actual worst at finishing TV shows. Not quite sure why, but about half way through a show I usually get bored and switch to something else. And then sometimes I circle back to the show and catch up. But, once I catch up I don't always finish the show. So, I've got …
