For one thing, after the failure of last month’s writing project, I figured that I’d try again for April. My goal was to write every other day. It went well the first three times, but then I skipped the next two times, and then only wrote one other time. So all in all, I only wrote four days during the entire month. How sad.
Also, as you can tell, I did not post anything during the middle of April like I’ve been doing the last three months. Honestly, I was drawing a blank on what to write about and then I got caught up with Easter festivities.
But instead of writing, you were doing a lot of reading, right Amanda?
Yeah….no. After reading McGee’s book, I couldn’t bring myself to tackle another book. I finally did on the 27th, which means that it took me a whole thirty days before I reached for a new book. (AS I DARKEN by Kiersten White, in case you were wondering. I’ve only read 88 pages in it so far, so I can’t say too much about it just yet.)
I did spend twelve days binge watching a series on Netflix, though. Does that count for anything?
I guess you can say that I just spent the month “absorbing.”
I was excited to witness all the trees in my neighborhood bloom two weeks ago. The Michigan temperature has been subtly increasing, but not enough for me. Nonetheless, we’re in the middle of spring and I’ve been enjoying it. (Can’t wait to bring my bike out of storage in May.)
I’ve also had somewhat of a social life this month. And by that I mean I’m getting out of the house at least twice a week and seeing people who I’m not related to. It’s been great.
But overall, I get the sense that I wasn’t as productive as I should have been during April. (I wish there was a way to function without sleep.) Hence why I need to reorganize my daily life priorities.
A new month is on the horizon, so at least I can get another fresh start. How a third of the year slipped away is beyond me, though. I gotta work harder on my New Year resolutions.
Randomness: Remember how I mentioned waaaay back in Feb 2016’s post how I wanted to do something different with my hair? Well…I finally did it on the 22nd…

It’s so short now! I chopped off five inches. My hair is now ready for the summer. (Not that the impending warm weather was the reason why I cut it.)
