I’ve hit a horrible reading slump. Becoming increasingly busy this month doesn’t help at all, either. Unfortunately, this means today I don’t have a full book review to share. I’m one of those ridiculous people who whenever I hit said slumps, I start a book, get about 100 pages in, and then pick up another until I’m simultaneously reading 3-4 books. It’s so annoying, I vex myself. The other problem I have is I'm still trying to figure out how to equally spend my time either ...
Musings
Empty Creativity
Once again, I have not been as attentive to my blog, and for that I’m sorry. Mostly because instead of musings, my mind has been swimming with new information as I relearn how to do a job I performed for over six years, but in a new jurisdiction. (That and figuring out my new schedule now that I can’t go grocery shopping Friday mornings since I have to be at work again.

What’s Next?
At the time of writing this, I’ll be starting a new job tomorrow. My first full-time one since last November. Since this won’t be published until Wednesday, for my dear readers, for you, it’s yesterday. The forecast tomorrow is heavy rain. Right now, at 18:00, we’re even under a tornado warning. If that isn’t poetic irony, I don’t know what is. Of course, my husband, being the loving support he is, commented, “Yes, Hashem is also upset you’re starting a new job tomorrow, so He ...
How Long?
There was a shooting—another; again—at a school yesterday. An elementary school. Elementary. I’m from Texas, where it took place. My family still lives there. I have a niece in second grade. It could have been her school. It should not be any school. I am done. I am done with COVID, now monkey pox, with my family being diagnosed with chronic health problems. I am done with governments that do not care about their citizens, but choose to aggrandize their own agendas. I am done ...
