TBR Stack February 2022
January Recap Once again, I’m a tad later posting my TBR stack than I wanted to be. Unfortunately so far this month it’s due to health flare-ups and a lack of work-life balance. I finished quite a few books in January—eleven to be exact! Three ebooks, two audio books, four comic issues, and two physical books. I also DNF’d two books, both of them ebooks. Sabriel by Garth Nix (4 stars) Binti by Nnedi Okorafor (3 stars) Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade (re-read, 5 stars) Mercy Thompson: Homecoming, Issue #1 (re-read, 3 stars) Mercy Thompson: Homecoming, Issue #2 (re-read, 3 stars) Mercy Thompson: Homecoming, Issue #3 (re-read, 3 stars) Mercy…

Stream Schedule: Jan 24-30, 2022
Stream Schedule I debated for a while this weekend on what my stream schedule for the week should be. But decided last night, after having an excruciatingly difficult depression day, that maybe no streams this week would be a better plan for my mental and physical health. Permission to Rest As you may have noticed, pretty much every stream I’ve planned this month I’ve had to cancel due to life and work. Or the lack of balance, I suppose, to some degree or another. Not being able to follow-through on things I want to do (and have, in a way, promised to do) bothers me. But in an effort to…

Stream Schedule: Jan 17-23, 2022
Stream Schedule Another week, another stream schedule! I spoke too soon last week when I said that the week was looking more manageable. So I’m knocking on wood this week before I even begin. Like last week, I’m going to be doing some chill Animal Crossing on Thursdays. I really want to start fiddling around with Island Designer even if I have no idea what I want to do. I’ll also be continuing my Sims 4 Flower Legacy Challenge on Saturday. There’s just something about playing this challenge on stream that’s invigorating to me. I’m looking forward to it! Butt-Kicked by Life I have every intention of streaming as I…

TBR Stack January 2022
December Recap Well, I’m a tad late on this month’s reading recap and TBR Stack, but that’s because I’ve kind of been just caught up in reading. I finished five books in December—two ebooks, two audio books, and one physical book. I also DNF’d three books: one physical book and two ebooks. Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (DNF, 2 stars) No Choice by Mel Todd (DNF, 2 stars) Rebel’s Blade by Frost Kay (DNF, 2 stars) One Witch Too Few by Judith Berens (2 stars) A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir (5 stars) On the Prowl by Various Authors (3 stars) Tunnel of Bones by Victoria Schwab…

Stream Schedule: Jan 10-16, 2022
Stream Schedule I’m back to content with another stream schedule! Last week was excruciatingly long, but this week is looking more manageable. So I’m going to try to stream two days this week—Thursday and Saturday. I’ll be doing some chill Animal Crossing, and trying to design my island for the first time ever on Thursday. Saturday I’ll finally be continuing my Sims 4 Flower Legacy, and I’m so excited to finally get back to it! I might stream a bit longer than 3 hours if I really get into it. Which I expect I might. YouTube is Coming Speaking of my Sims 4 Flower Legacy, I’m finally going to start…

Currently Nerding, December 2021
Nerding Out Over Reading So far this month I have finished six books… which is more than most months this year, and I still have a few days left. Granted, one or two of those books were a DNF read (did not finish), but I’m also trying to be better about giving myself permission to DNF books. Which may or may not become another post in the future. I also got myself a new reading chair! I used to have a papasan chair there (it’s now in the living room), but it’s just not comfortable for long periods of time. I’ve been eyeing these oversize circle/oval chairs for a while,…

Unsubscribing as FFXIV Endwalker Hits
The MMO Cycle I’ve realized over time that I go through cycles of enjoying MMOs vs moving away from them. I used to be able to dedicate years to an MMO, and now it seems that only a few months is my limit. At least with FFXIV this time. I started playing again in July, but haven’t logged into the game since mid-October. And a big part of that is FFXIV Endwalker. FFXIV Endwalker Back in August, I got myself through Heavensward and then just kind of… hit a wall. A wall of overwhelm. I was starting to feel rushed to get to the Endwalker expansion, though much of that…

Stream Schedule: Dec 27, 2021-Jan 2, 2022
Stream Schedule I was contemplating streams this week, but have decided that it is better for my mental and physical health to take a week off. Thus, no stream schedule for the week. I have Monday and Tuesday off of work because I had to use up some vacation time, but I wanted to spend the time working on behind-the-scenes content things, as well as just take care of my mental health. Thanksgiving through New Years are just not the greatest time of year for me, and I’ve had a difficult time rectifying that again this year. Hence wanting to try and focus some on my mental health this week.…

Stream Schedule: Dec 20-26, 2021
Stream Schedule After a stressful month at work, I have some time off. Which means a few more days on the stream schedule this week! I’ve invested in a VPN finally, so I put some DBD on the schedule for the first time! I’ll be doing some DBD Thursday night after a day of working on content. As I mentioned last week, I don’t really celebrate Christmas, so I’ll be doing some cozy Animal Crossing on Christmas Eve evening into the night, with more DBD on Christmas evening into night. New Years Streams? I’m not sure what my plans look like for New Years, yet. I’m sure I’ll be spending…
