I blinked and it's Thanksgiving week. How the hell did that happen?! The past two years have truly been a blur, and I definitely wasn't having any fun. Yesterday was the most Friday-feeling a Monday could be. I spent the entire afternoon confused about what day it was and what the damn time was. Genuinely … Continue reading Out of Time Blues
Friends
Your Truest Friends…
“Your truest friends are the ones who will stand by you in your darkest moments--because they're willing to brave the shadows with you--and in your greatest moments--because they're not afraid to let you shine.” ―Nicole Yatsonsky
Discussions of Funerals and Such
Today is the funeral of a friend of the family who died as a result of Covid 19.

When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, … Continue reading People Come, People Go
