December Has Arrived!!

Holy crap! I am sooo sorry I've been absent for a while!  Things have been crazy hectic for me lately, and I'm just now working on finding time to get things up and running.  I will be having regular blog posts 3 times a week and hopefully weekly vlogs/daily vlogs (if I actually manage to keep up with Vlogmas).  Either way, there might be daily blogs and I will do blogmas instead of Vlogmas LOL (yeah, I'm trying to be funny). 

So, couple of big things have happened in the last few months: I have finally managed to get a part timer trained and working well with the flow of things here in the store.  I am thrilled about that, because it means I can actually start having a life again or at least a couple of days off.  Geoff and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary in July, and things have been wonderful, and I'm hoping that I can manage to actually get my shit together and hit my major goals in a few months (provided certain things don't majorly begin to suck and derail my savings goals).  I am currently filming again, and managed to get two videos up today on my channel, which makes me happy.  I need to find my tripod again, and I'm hoping to get this month's TBR post/video up in a day or so because I've literally had to reduce my goodreads goal TWICE in the past 5 months, which does not make me a happy girl. 

Other than that, things have just been kinda rocky as far as stretching my energy beyond what I really should, and I'm working on carefully walking that tightrope and finding the proper balance that I need once more.  I am also looking into maybe starting up with BetterHelp or a similar service (especially since I will have my Stylo 4 back and not be using the crappy loaner phone I have right now), in the new year because trying to find a therapist in my local area that is actually accepting new patients is proving to be more of a headache than it really should be.  Beyond that, I have been going to my Dr. regularly, and there may be a tweak of my meds in the coming months after bloodwork in January, so we will see what comes from that when I go back to my Dr in the beginning of February.  I've got my appointments set up already, and I have them added to my future log in my 2019 bullet journal set up.

As I'm writing this I am sitting at work, watching the rain fall and listening to one of my favorite playlists this time of year, and I'll have that right below. 

Dominoel Indie Christmas  <--this is my favorite Indie Christmas playlist!

Anyway, I've gotta get some photos edited for my next post that will be going up tomorrow and I am a dummy because I forgot my camera which makes me a derpy mcderp pants.  Which means I'll probably get those photos later today or tomorrow and edit them and get the post up....and probably a late start to Vlogmas...but ya know, I at least got up 2 videos anyway!

Until next time! <3

Dear 2014: Year In Review Thus Far

Well, hello there.  I've been a touch quiet as of late, and I apologize. This year has been absolutely nutty for me.  I've not read near amount the books I should have, nor have I managed to get a singular review done.  To me this is absolutely unacceptable, as I still have several reviews to catch up on, as well as new ones I should have had up a couple of weeks ago. 

Any posts I do lately will be from the library, due to lack of net at home, and unfortunately some jerk bumped into me yesterday and now the screen on my phone is shattered to hell and gone, not happy about that.

However, on a highly positive note, I have read some very good books this year, and I'm going to share my current year in of books with you:
