August Recap 2021

August was a meh month, like July it was either super-hot or super foggy/stormy. There was no escape from the bad weather and only a couple of “nice” days, but that meant I got more knitting and reading done than I have in a while!

Generally, you can see a massive gazebo just up and to the left of the lifeguard stand in the photo. And you can see all the way to the JFK Library, roughly a mile walking from where I’m standing taking that picture. by time I got to the gazebo the entire bathhouse and lights were gone.

June Recap 2021

I am currently sitting poolside in Aruba waiting for the towel hut to open so we can reserve our chairs for the day. It is luxurious.

If things had gone to plan we would’ve been somewhere in Europe right now on a cruise ship, but they didn’t so I’m on this ridiculously beautiful and temperate island averaging a book every other day and getting a seriously nice tan 😀 We also spent a long weekend up in Maine earlier in the month for Tim’s actual birthday, so this month has just been travel travel travel.

May Recap 2021

Another whirlwind month in what seems to be the waning stages of the pandemic (I’m still not convinced).

After the last-minute trip home for my grandfather’s services, I immediately turned around and got on a plane again to go see Tim’s family in Las Vegas. For the most part the flights felt safe and the hotels/casinos kept people distanced, but it was weird being there as things started to open up! Like the table dividers came down our last day and I was like whoa-whoa-whoa, let’s not go crazy!

February Recap 2021

photo of a cabin covered in snow with a picnic table to the right of the cabin and a frozen lake in the backgroundIt has been soooo cold and wet and rainy in New England the past few weeks. That’s nothing out of the ordinary and doesn’t really affect me much since I’m not leaving the house, but when you can feel the cold through the windows you know it’s cold-cold!

Work has started to pick up for the spring like it usually does, so my reading will be slumping for a bit even though this list looks like a lot, it’s back to MM Romance novels because they’re quick and entertaining. Hopefully, I’ll switch them out so it’s not all MM Romance all the time, but who knows!?

January Recap 2021

I somehow ended up without a photo for January 2021! I guess I could’ve taken one of the snow from yesterday (Feb 1) as I write this, but that’s not really January. So instead you get this hilarious comic I downloaded from reddit when I read Winegard’s The Mosquito, but forgot to use it in my response to the book!

And if I’m being completely honest, I’m surprised it took 10 months for me to NOT have an actual picture to use during this pandemic, and to be fair I have two further on with knitting but they work better together. 2020 was such a mess and then 2021 started off even messier so who knows where we’re going at this point in the US.
