Second Quarter Wrap Up – 2020

2020 has been a whirlwind and its only half over.  I can’t believe we are already 6 months into the year, but at the same time I’m ready for 2020 to be over! (But will 2021 really be any better?)

Books Read:

• Elizabeth: Obstinate, Headstrong Girl 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• Baptism of Fire 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Goodreads | Amazon*)
• Red Rising 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• Time Cat 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• The Courtship of Princess Leia 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• The Unspoken Name 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• Ambush at Corellia 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Review | Goodreads | Amazon*)
• Unsung Heroine 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Goodreads | Amazon*)

Weirdly because of the whole Covid thing I haven’t been able to do things I normally would so I have been spending a ton of time with my parents and little bro, so I have somehow had less time to read than normal these last few months.

Currently Reading:

• The Tower of Swallows (Goodreads | Amazon*)
• Assault at Selonia (Goodreads | Amazon*)

Because I have been working from home I haven’t been driving so I haven’t been listening to Audiobooks, so Tower of Swallows has been pretty much on hold.

Thanks to Wyrd & Wonder I actually got quite a bit of posts up! Last quarter I had only 6 but this time I had 16!

Life:

I kind of fell off the wagon in June.  I had 4 whole posts (2 review and 2 non-review) I’m behind on comments and blog hopping and work and house chores and basically just life in general.  I don’t really have an excuse or a reason.  I’ve just been in a funk.

The Good:

• Lots of days at the dog park and some doggie play dates.
• Lots of game nights with the family
• Doing our own version of painting and sipping in my Mom’s living room
• My Niece turned 3!!
• I died the under part of my hair purple.
• Cinco de Mayo
• May the 4th be with you
• Camping
• After 2+ years of living together my dog and cat are getting along!
• I paid $1.00 for gas for the first (and probably last) time in my life (Its back up to $2.50 already)

The Bad:

• I broke up with the guy I was seeing (No biggie it was my choice!)
• My AC went out (luckily it was just the filter and its working again!)
• My Fridge went out (Its still not working but I have a fridge in the garage that works fine and I am using that for now)

The Ugly:

• My Cat Logan went in for a standard teeth pulling procedure and had some complications due to a previously unknown heart condition.  It was dicey for a bit but he pulled though and is doing amazing now!! (And the stimulus check came at just the right time and covered a good chunk of his vet bills, thank goodness)

I know I’ve been MIA for most of the month but hopefully I’ll be back on more coming up! I hope everyone had a great 2nd quarter ❤
