My latest library haul. Since I'm still reading the books I borrowed during my last visit, I only grabbed DVDs. #libraryhaul

Made some honey glazed donuts and proceeded to eat 2 of them for lunch. It's fine, we were already planning a veggie heavy dinner, so it all balances out.

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and getting groceries did not help my mood. However, a long cuddle session with my dog and then taking her for a walk has helped. I might make donuts to improve the day even more.

Happy National Anime Day!

I think I'll spend a good chunk of today trying to catch up on my giant backlog of to-watch anime - not that I need an excuse to watch anime.

Happy Burt Gummer Day!

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, I highly suggest you go watch the movie Tremors.

Last night, I finally finished reading my first book of April, Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage. I've already put a library hold on the next book in the series but until that arrives I need to figure out what I will read next.

Two blueberry plants in black pots sit on a gravel pathway. The wall of a grey-painted shed is in the background.

Stopped by the local nursery today and picked up a couple of blueberry plants. We had bought and planted 6 last year but they all died (we're working with that company to either get a refund), so figured I better start replacing those.

Between the kitchen, garden, and laundry, my day was FULL. It's that busy time of year and I feel like I'm constantly running around trying to keep up, but I love it, especially the end result of all the hard work.

A tray of buttermilk biscuits fresh from the oven.

I had a strong hankering for buttermilk biscuits, so I whipped up a batch.

Fingers crossed for you. Thanks, it's somewhat contained and we have the possibility of rain tomorrow which should help.

Yeah, they are starting a bit early this year.

It's a beautiful day out, despite it being a bit smoky from a nearby wildfire, so I did some more garden bed prep and also planted a few more trays of seeds. Planted spinach, swiss chard, onions, and 3 varieties of cabbage. Can't wait til I can actually plant things outside in a month or so.

I think this only affects the old devices and not the app. But who knows what they may do in the future.

Sad but true. And I refuse to buy a new Kindle when mine still works.

I barely use my Kindle but this is frustrating because the device works perfectly and come May it'll be a fancy paperweight because they won't allow me to send books to it. Guess I won't be reading e-ARCs anymore either, since I doubt they will let me use send-to-kindle when they push this through.

I made the decision to DNF Ouran High School Host Club. I loved the anime series but I have tried to read the manga twice and both times only reached volume 7 before I lose interest.

My latest pickups from the library. A couple of books, plus a movie and a TV series to keep me entertained. Could I have watched Person of Interest on Netflix? Yes, but I chose to get the DVD from the library instead. #booksky 📚💙 #libraryhaul

Had a decently busy day of knocking out more of my backlog to-do list. We ended it off with cake and watching Armageddon, so I'd call it a success.

Thank you. So far things are going much better.

And that was the first thing I did! 😂

Today I'm playing a bit of catch up, with numerous things I hope to get done but I won't sweat it if I don't get to everything. On the list is:
-laundry
-bake a cake
-clean the kitchen
-empty out inbox
-plant seeds
-blog work
-read
-watch Armageddon
+other things that need attention

I did not plan to disappear again but let's just say March was...a month. It wasn't terrible but I just couldn't be bothered most days. I'm hopeful April will be much better but taking things mostly one day at a time.

I get to join you in that feeling next time around, since this will be the last time my province changes time.

After a busy day of catching up on housework, I made sure to run to the library before it closed to pick up my latest hold. I've really been enjoying this series, and I'm sure I will finish it next month at the rate I'm reading.

After a solid week of doing nothing but gaming and sleeping (it was a blast), I am ready to return to reading and other regular activities. All I want to do today is read. Since I just borrowed the audiobook of Depths of Vanalf from the library, that will likely be my first read of the month.

Good luck!

Less than an hour before I am knee-deep into gaming, and not much else for a solid few days. Needless to say, I'll be on the quiet side, but after that, I should be back to my regular schedule - as erratic as that "regular schedule" is. 😂

Thanks, I will!

They're so good!
