Project Hail Mary is not the type of book I typically pick up, but when I saw that my bestie had read it and rated it 5 stars on GoodReads, I didn’t take the recommendation lightly. If she loved it, I knew it would be great.

I think there are two camps: people who love to plan, and people who don’t. I’m a lover.

Monday Musings: Goal Check-in
I have been having a rough go of April so far, and I blame my goals! lol… but really, I do! In an attempt to finish working on my mom’s loft (spurred on by an impending post deadline :::cough::: next Wednesday :::cough:::), I might have kicked up some dust that took. me. out! Nevertheless, I still set goals for April.

Monday Musings: White Coat Syndrome?
As I get older, and my general anxiety is more prevalent (in certain situations), so is my experience with white coat syndrome. My heart pounds while I’m in the waiting room (and then while I’m waiting for what feels like eons on the examination table). Half the time, it’s a miracle that my blood pressure isn’t through the roof.

Revealed! Bedroom Updates
Of all the rooms in my home, my primary bedroom has gone through the fewest number of changes since I first moved in and put my stamp on it. There isn’t much that can be done in terms of furniture arrangement, so that limits what I can do. I have gotten new bedding, and painted an accent wall (and spoiler, I recently painted a second one). It’s been years since I’ve done anything of note. I shared my latest updates in the Fall of 2019 HERE. Since then, it’s mostly been business as usual over here. But not anymore!

Monday Musings: Time Blocking
In last week’s musing I declared that I’m a walking contradiction. And that is the thesis of today’s post: I love structure, but then I rebel against the structure I set in place.
