a 2021 birthday

Every year around the middle of April I start to take care of myself a little more. I begin focusing on the aspects of myself which I typically ignore throughout the rest of the year. Usually this means a haircut, painting my nails, and picking up a book or movie for myself. I attempt to …

Spring 2021 Anticipated Releases

Winter seems to have come and gone quite quickly this year. I'm not mad about it. This winter, we have done a lot of cleaning and organizing at home, and the space is more welcoming. I feel more settled. I have high hopes for Spring. Spring will be good for us. The weather will change …

a little mania

Since November, I had been very good at Not Buying the Things. And then February hit. Everything seemed horrible and nothing had been going right for weeks. A lot of family business was brought to the surface and I'm not going to lie, it hit me pretty hard. Once an escape, my job began to …

February 2021 Wrap Up

This month was difficult for me. I think, January was a month of avoiding with books and February a month of processing through other means. I have watched a ton of tv shows and movies in the past month. Hopefully this means that my reading evens out in March. I'd like to get back to …

Top Ten Tuesday | Purple/Gold/Green Book Covers

It's Mardi Gras season, which means it's time for King Cake! I had so much fun looking up these purple, yellow, and green covers! And, I can honestly say that I have not read any of these books, but at some point in time each of them piqued my interest. Each color has its own …

February, week 1

I spent the past few days resting and recharging. And, for once, I think that the rest did me good. Wednesday night, I slept for 12 hours, and then took a 4-hour mid day nap. Exhausted still, I barely left my bed. All I wanted to do was sleep. And, for the first time in …
