Well, friends, this is embarrassing to admit, but I’m going to: I was a no-show here last week because I managed to get myself sucked into and stuck in a game (2248). This is so unlike me, it might as well be science fiction. As the cliché goes, I’m sorry to have left you in the dark. My husband got me into this particular game, so take it up with him if you must.

For the most part, I’ve been ignoring YouTube, and I’m spending less time scrolling on Instagram. I’m as absent on FB as ever. I’ve given up on Twitter (“X”) completely. I don’t know. At some point this summer, I started playing games on my phone, and here we are.

Also in the last two months, I picked up my long-dormant reading habit. I’m on my second book since then. My reading time every morning is precious, even if the book is infuriating, such as my current one.

Speaking of YouTube, and also quite ironically, considering the fact that I’ve drawn away from the platform, I’ve been thinking of putting up videos every so often… to show you stuff, not to talk about stuff. (I doubt you’ll catch me talking in the videos.) It would just be a video-capturing of pieces of my day or life, in general, to share here. Whether I’ll ever get around to acting on this idea remains to be seen.

And, since I have it, here’s a blurry pic taken in an Irish pub last weekend:

I’ve also decided that I’m going to start up my “Monthly Favorites” posts again, since I’ve had several requests for those! Stay tuned for that. I’ll now have books to include on that list, even if they’re infuriating. They’re good. They’re brilliant. I’m enjoying them in any case.

Go well and be well, friends!
