A year ago to the week, I wrote about where I had been, what I'd been up to, and why my blogging had lost its consistency, committing to find it again through publishing a post weekly on Wednesdays. Since that final week of January 2022, I've only missed 10 of the total 52 weeks. That's a smidge less than 20% (19.2% for all you nerds out there) which I think is excellent news. While I'm not going to quantify consistency, especially my own, by any means, I think knowing I wrote a little ...

WOMS Update
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.

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. Gah, I miss my Fridays…) It’s complicated, messy, sifting between what I know—i. e. what is habit—and what is new; ...
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.
