November 2024 November was an eventful month. I worked from home for a week and a half, dealt with a flooded basement, interviewed for a full-time position, got the job, and gave my notice at my current job. These changes took a lot of energy and created a bit of stress. We celebrated Thanksgiving twice. […]
September & October 2024 It has been a busy couple of months. In September, the suite next door to my full-time job’s office caught on fire. We are still dealing with the aftermath, and I have learned more about fire remediation than I ever wanted to know. Four days after the fire, my mother’s sewer […]
July & August 2024 July and August were both very busy months. The highlight of July was our trip to Hawaii! We left St. Louis on July 22nd and made it back home on August 2nd. Leading up to the trip we spent a lot of time trying to get things done so that we […]
June 2024 June was a bit of a whirlwind. The month felt really busy but I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was lucky enough to attend a few awesome author events which were a lot of fun. There was a week towards the middle of the […]
April & May 2024 It should be no surprise to anyone that I struggled during the months of April and May. I am still struggling if I am being honest. I feel like I am behind in every aspect of my life. I work a lot which leaves little time for me to dedicate to […]
March 2024 March was good (mostly) but I had a really hard time finding any motivation to do anything with the blog and Instagram. I didn’t spend any real-time reading, except audiobooks. Thank goodness for audiobooks! On St. Patrick’s Day, I fell and sprained my ankle badly. I spent the second half of the month […]
February 2024 February was a bit of a blah month. I haven’t felt like doing anything productive in my free time. I have played a lot of games on my phone and did get through a nice stack of audiobooks, which was a bit of a surprise when I totaled things up because I would […]
January 2024 January was a much quieter month. I went back down to 3 shifts per week at my part-time job which is much more manageable. I had one bonus day at home when the area was covered in ice. I was supposed to work from home that day but didn’t actually have any work […]
December 2023 December was such a busy month. It was fun but I have to admit that I am glad that it is over. I was so incredibly busy that it took a toll on me both physically and mentally. We had several family gatherings to celebrate the holiday and my younger daughter came to […]
November 2023 How is it already December?! I feel like I spent most of November working. Towards the beginning of the month, I was able to work the Iron Flame release party at my Barnes & Noble and had a lot of fun with it. I took a few days off from both jobs to […]
