How, exactly, does one start a blog when one has been missing from the blog scene for almost a year?

Surprise? Hey, I’m alive? Or, a tried and true “Hello there” followed by the obligatory Obi Wan Kenobi GIF?

How about Hi!

I fooled ya! It’s OG Stitch!

So, Where have I been? I promise I’ll keep it short.

In the fall I got promoted to full time, which killed all my extra free time. Then mom needed surgery, at which point I found myself jobless but still no free time. Mom’s okay, btw’s, she was just off her feet and needed care she couldn’t provide herself.

Now mom is mostly healed and I am back at work, but part time and with a different job title. All good things, I promise!

And on top of all that, I still managed to read 162 books last year and really focus on crochet as a relaxing hobby. Audiobooks are totally my jam now. I fully took advantage of my local library to be able to read a lot of those books.

So yeah, it’s been hectic. But good all at the same time.

So how’s my reading been going this year? Decent. I’m only at 37 books, but my goal is 80, so that’s not too bad. I’m sure I’m not going to hit 162 again. Pretty much ever. And that’s okay.

I just finished the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese. It’s a very good romance series and deals heavily with real world disability issues.

As far as blog plans go, I’m going to post! I’m not yet what that means, but at least once a week for now. Possibly every Sunday for the first few months!

What about you, how have you been doing?
