Well, the month of August came and went, and now we're already halfway through September! I ended up taking an unintended but necessary hiatus from blogging last month. I only had the mental energy to juggle so much, and the blog ended up being what I set down. I did get in a little more … Continue reading Odds & Ends 7/22-9/15
Odds & End 7/8-7/21
The past couple of weeks I have been blessed with some great quality time with my family amidst all the busyness of life. I'm still adjusting to the new job and all the things I'll have to continue learning there, so it's nice to have those moments to step away from all of that and … Continue reading Odds & End 7/8-7/21

The past couple of weeks have been all about moving! My old apartment is about to be renovated, so my building transferred my lease to an already updated unit, and I am enjoying it.

Review: The Marvels
I finally had a chance to sit down and stream the latest MCU movie and, while it may not be the best MCU movie, I do not understand all the negativity about this one. I thought it was a perfectly good time, and it was fun! Iman Vellani shines as Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel. Teyonah … Continue reading Review: The Marvels
Odds & Ends 2/19-3/3
What has happened over the last few weeks? Not a lot of writing, because life has happened. A lot. And it's still happening. I will get into it more later, but today is not the day. With everything else happening, it did make it easy to avoid pulling out my project's finished draft early! I … Continue reading Odds & Ends 2/19-3/3
