Saturday Scroll
This morning is the first sunny day here in like 9 days and I am loving it so much. It’s supposed to get grey and start raining again this afternoon, but I’m enjoying it while it lasts. Short weeks sometimes feel so much longer than normal 5-day work weeks because you have so much to…

What I Read in August
I read a lot in August. Really I read a lot this past weekend, there is something about fantasy YA books that I just rip through. I also had a stack of new books thanks to my birthday splurge that was very stimulating. Let’s get into the books: The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles…

Mid-week Procrastination: Bean Crime and Fall Plans
It has been a busy week already! I write these posts Tuesday evenings and if I could get up earlier I would write them Wednesday mornings instead because mid-week energy on a Tuesday evening is very different than the mid-week energy of a Wednesday morning. But this week has felt chaotic, I feel like I’m…

Obsessions: July 7th
For only the 2nd time ever I missed my normal Saturday posting of my Obsessions post. The first was because I was moving halfway across the country and hadn’t fully figured out the schedule post function, this time is because I have been throwing up violently for most of the weekend and could barely even…

What I Read in July
July was one of the reading months where I tried to make myself read some books that I had purchased, somewhat on a whim, simply out of joy of being in a bookstore and most of them were mediocre at best. I also kind of think that I was trying to make myself read and…

What I Read in June
I finally got an infusion of new books on my weekend in Kenora in June and I have been feeling refreshed and ready to read again. I’m also in a big TV rut and want to watch none of the things that I have access to through all of my various subscriptions. And I have…

Weekend in Kenora
So basically I needed to get out. It had been three months of basically complete social isolation beyond Zoom meetings and vaccine clinics and I needed to get out of this tiny town. Also, Ontario had been in Step 1 of re-opening for a couple weeks and I was starting to lose my mind with…

What I Read in May
May was a month of re-reading, nothing in my to-be-read pile was inspiring me or wanting to be read. There’s also something so comforting about reading a book that you are familiar with, revisiting a story you know the ending to. It’s probably something to similar to how people on the internet say that psychologists…

What I read in April
I hit a reading rut in April. I think it was partly because I was trying to read (a really good) non-fiction book and I’m just slower at reading non-fiction (it took me 6 weeks to read Barack Obama’s tome of a book). But I also just wasn’t in any kind of mood to read,…

Quarantine Round 4 Activities
Well Ontario. We’re nearly a week in to Quarantine/Lock-down/Stay-at-home/Flatten the curve number 4 here. And given that this is probably the worst wave that we have seen yet that when this stay-at-home order expires it will not be releasing us straight into normal pre-COVID life. So I need some things to do. In the past…
