2017 wasn't bad. It was actually a pretty good year, though it started rather rough. In February I learned I needed a pacemaker, and that mentally rocked me. But after I got my robot in April, most of my anxiety issues have disappeared. In other words, the pacemaker...
I love the year end summary Goodreads gives its readers (you can view mine here). It always surprises me to see how long ago I read a book, or how many pages I read in a year, or how few books I got around to reading. Last year, I read 21 books. Not great, but...
Why did I put off reading this book for so long! It's been on my Kindle since it's Bookbub ad, which was a million months ago. I just never felt like I was in the mood for a Young Adult novel. A Young Adult novel. After reading this book, I had to jump...
I've been in the mood to read lately, but am at a total loss as to what book to pick up. I'm not sure what my mood is, and every new book online seems just like another. So I decided to read some of the novels that have been sitting on my Kindle for a while. I'm...

Raise your hand if you've heard of this movie? I hadn't until two weeks ago. A Facebook friend mentioned how good it was (thanks Jen!), so Spreadsheet Guy and I decided to watch it. We watched the trailer first, and I have to say, that made me almost not want to watch...
It's not completely my fault. I was at the doctor on Tuesday for THREE hours waiting to get an xray of my right rib cage, which hurts like HELL every time I cough. (Don't even ask about sneezing. I've come close to crying.) The rib pain started almost two days after...
