2018 was a year of changes.
We moved in late 2017 which left me with establishing a new home and
re-establishing all the services for my autistic son.
It took a lot of work but I got them all in
place only to have some of them fall apart in the last weeks of 2018.
So here we go again!
But hey, I still have my great escape in
reading!
I have an ever expanding
personal library.
So much so that I’ve
made a vow that if I don’t extremely love the book after reading it, if I don’t plan to
read it again, then I have to let it go.
Now if I could just control myself at thrift stores, yard sales, and
trips to Barnes and Nobles in the mall (I lie to myself that I’m only going in
to look while my son is doing community days with Pokemon Go).
This year was also a big year for audio books
with me as I’ve found I’m more productive when using them.
This came in handy while I was canning from
the garden we planted this year and finishing the quilt for my great niece.
It will
also come in handy as I start the “I’m going to exercise and eat healthier” new
year’s resolution.
We’ll see how well
an exercise routine fits into my life.
