December Wrap Up

News I hope all my readers had a really great Christmas or whatever seasonal holiday you celebrate and I wish everyone a very Happy New Year for 2016! God knows I’ve been through some tough times this year. I’m not normally one to say ‘this year sucked, on to the next one!’ In fact, I […]

November Wrap Up

News I’ve been self-hosted for an entire year! Wow, where has the time gone? I’ve given self-hosting a lot of thought over the past year. I mostly took up the more expensive hosting with Book Host because my husband and I were both working full-time and could afford the fluctuating exchange rate. Then my husband […]

October Wrap Up

News Hubs and I came down with the stomach flu, or norovirus, for over a week, and in that time I felt too poorly to do anything except lie in bed and watch Netflix and Stan. Other than that, it was just the daily grind of work, rest, and recreation. Quite an average month. I […]

September Wrap Up

News September was a rough month for me personally. My husband tried to go on meds to help him sleep, ended up with an issue called ‘seratonin syndrome’ that basically made gave him an anxiety attack for like a week straight, then he had a migraine, then he had food poisoning, so he barely worked […]

August Wrap Up

News I went through a major reading slump this month. Nothing interested me. I lost the book I was supposed to be reading for review when I cleaned my house, and then I kind of went ‘fuck it’ and didn’t want to read anything at all. I spent more time on other hobbies – rewatching […]

July Wrap Up

News I finished my astrobiology short course! I am now an amateur astrobiologist. I ended up with a grade of 89%, a distinction, which I’m kind of annoyed about, because that’s only one percent off 90%, which is a high distinction. I mean, I’m still happy with a high grade but it’s annoying when I […]

June Wrap Up

News In the middle of June I saw a picture of a stray cat posted by a rescue shelter and I swear alarm bells went off in my head. My husband and I have been joking about getting a third kitten, but I’ve very firmly said no, as we already have two cats. But I fell […]

May Wrap Up

News So April sucked balls. My grandad, uncle, and a Goodreads friend of mine all died. May is looking much better with my husband’s treatment going so well he was even able to return to work part-time. Which means I’m back at work, too! Wow, caring for someone who is suicidal is HARD WORK. But […]

April Wrap Up

News Last month I explained how my husband’s accidental switch-up on anti-depressants made him suicidal and I had to take time off work to make sure he didn’t kill or hurt himself. Honestly, there’s not much change this month either. He’s still adjusting to his proper medication and his psychologist appointments were too far apart […]

March Wrap Up

News March was really rough for my husband and me. Turns out he’d been put on the wrong anti-depressants for the past month and a bit. The medication made him worse than no medication at all. He clearly needs a very specific med and the pharmacy screwed him over by choosing to put him on […]
