Writing
Today is April 2nd (I know I’m a day late for the blog post, but I didn’t wanna put anything out on April 1st and I hope that’s for obvious reason) and I’m going to attempt to write a poem a day. It feels like I haven’t tried this for a while and I’m curious to see how it will go. I’m also beyond mentally exhausted and have a bunch of writing-related things to think about and work on. Insert a dizzy and overwhelmed face here please.
Personal
Most of my thoughts these days are consumed by work and I doubt that will change any time soon. Other than that the barometric pressure lately can go kick rocks. I way overdid it Thursday and Friday so my body screamed at me so loud my husband heard it and made me take it easy. By that I mean when I needed something to drink and was heading from office to bedroom on my small, maybe 7 foot detour, he came at me with a spray bottle. I was laughing about it. I know why he did it and I side with him. I was having trouble moving around Saturday. Sunday was more like a ‘oh crap am I sick’ day. Let this be your lesson, when the body demands rest it will DEMAND REST.
Reading
- Heart of Iron by C.M. Alongi – If you’ve seen CaFae Latte skits on TikTok or Facebook or anywhere she’s posted them you know what I’m talking about. If you have never seen or heard of them please go watch and then go read this book. Any time I’ve been able to get even a single chapter in I’m opening this book. Couple times on box truck we’ve had to wait and yes, I’ve pulled my Kindle out and started reading. It doesn’t happen often. When I’ve driven and the lead driver is passenger he reads on his phone. I’ve read on my phone, but prefer reading on my Kindle. Daily I move a handful of items from purse to work bag (we’re required to have clear bags at work): wallet, keys, Kindle, headphones.
Gaming/Listening/Spotlight
Honestly, I don’t really have anything planned for this section currently. Husband and one of our friends have been playing a lot of games (specifically Warframe) lately and while I have it I haven’t opened it because I’ve had other things I wanted to do first. Husband did gift me Bioshock 1 & 2 original and remastered editions on Steam though and I need to finish Bendy and the Ink Machine before I start anything else. Maybe I’ll get to that this weekend at some point. Or finally work more on a diamond art piece… Or reading.
As far as listening I haven’t really focused on anything specific. Right now I’m just listening to anything that strikes when I see it. Sunday I was listening to someone I found on TikTok, CJ Starnes. If you want something really relaxing I’d highly recommend his music. While I’m typing this post up I’m listening to my iPod and it’s just on shuffle with the chaotic library that is mine and my husband’s music combined.
That’s all for now, folks. I’m off to write a poem and dive into a book. Peace for now.
