What I Read in May
Once again I am continuing the 2022 trend of reading two books a month, I would really like to get up to at least 4 books a month, but I accumulated a decent amount of hobbies over the pandemic; reading, blogging, needlepointing, that all take time, but now that social stuff is happening again, it’s…

What I Read in April
I really thought April would be the month I broke my 2 books per month average that I’ve been running so far this year, when I did read I enjoyed all the books I was reading and was getting through them quickly, but taking the time to sit down and read seemed impossible. Watching TV…

What I Read in February
I had big reading plans for February, and then I worked 180 hours over 13 days (aka half the month in February) and basically only worked and slept for the second half of the month. So I didn’t really read anything for half the month, which kind of worked against my goals. Although I feel…

Best Books of 2021
I think this will be the very last round up post of 2021, it’s getting past the appropriate time for them. I have been putting it off because I don’t really know how to pick a favourite book or books. I don’t have a very objective reviewing system, and I have never been very good…

What I Read in November
I am definitely still in a bit of a reading rut. I read just one book in September, nothing in October (to the point where I had a post planned for early November about being in a reading rut, but then I read a book in a day (a snow day) and I thought I…

Gift Guide for Difficult Dads
I don’t know about your dad, but I do know that I find all the dad gift guides I always see never having anything my dad would actually want on them. My dad does not barbecue, is not really into whisky/whiskey or any other drink, he’s not techie, he is incredibly fussy about his clothes,…

Sunday Scroll
This is a discussion for another day, but this is a lot harder to keep up with as my life gets busier. I know we joke about this, with the “I know my friends are doing better when they are almost never posting on social media” memes and tweets. But it is hard to prioritize…

Apartment Update
I feel like I am really starting to make serious progress on my apartment. It was really just the sofa that made the crucial difference. I don’t know if it’s just the fact that having a sofa makes a place feel homey and they feel essential to a house, or how much space it takes…
