Coming back from the other side of my Bipolar Wonderland through medication, creativity, and moxie.
I can’t sleep! So. Have a reading challenge!
Have you heard of the Golden Trio Reading Challenge?
I attempted this year, being the current year of 2019, but wasn’t quite successful. Read all about it below!

I have a total of 111 books on my to-be read list for 2020.
It sounds like a lot, doesn’t it?

Read twelve non-digital books in a year. No set or particular ones, just twelve wonderful books.
Anywhere you like to read, within the bounds of propriety and legality. (No reading while driving, please!)
Whenever you have time to read! Hopefully, about a book each month.
Because why not?! Reading is a wonderful thing.

“When the Moon rides at her peak, then you heart’s desire seek,” says a line from the Wiccan Rede. I don’t want for much right now. Except maybe one or two non-material things that no amount of money can buy.

I’m a week into my new job and I still absolutely love it.

This is the master reading list for 2020. I’m a little less insane in my goals this year, so there’s currently less than one hundred books. I tried to limit it to only fifty-two…but it didn’t work.

Man, did I overestimate my free time this year. I didn’t think I’d be changing jobs (twice!), nor did I think I’d be so busy! I didn’t hit 50,000 words on NaNoWriMo, unfortunately. And I didn’t even get one of my reading challenges completed.

3rd Day of NaNoWriMo
I don’t know what’s up with me today. I’m just not having a good brain day when I really should be.

1 Mild Headache
I spent the day with Linna today; a bit of a treat for me as it was basically like a second day of Mabon Celebrations.

I can’t seem to shake this headache. I’ve had it since yesterday afternoon.
I know it’s not from lack of caffeine or water. If I got any more hydrated, my kidneys would float! I think I’ll try taking more ibuprofen when I go to bed, see if that helps.
In better news, my diabetes is officially under control with meds and the dietary changes I’ve made! My A1C, which was a 10.3 in April, is down to a 6.8! I still have to take my meds and watch what I eat, but now I know I can effect positive change on my life. It’s not yet more lost weight, but it’s a damn good start.
I’m going to go practice on Duolingo and maybe read some? I’ve been wanting to catch up on my #200Book Challenge.
Take your meds, folks!
Still on a boat!
This is a pre-written post whilst I am on holiday with my Darling Wife and the in-laws!
So, while I’m gone for six days and seven nights, or something like that, I thought I’d run through a few of my favorite coping mechanisms.
Today’s is my secondary coping mechanism: writing.

No, really. I’m on a cruise. So! This is a pre-written post whilst I am on holiday with my Darling Wife and the in-laws!
So, while I’m gone for six days and seven nights, or something like that, I thought I’d run through a few of my favorite coping mechanisms.
Today’s is my secondary coping mechanism: reading.
Do I not have enough reading challenges for 2019? (Seven is the current count, with this one.)
Do I have far too much time spent not sleeping in the wee hours? (I’ve been awake almost 24 hours now)
Do I chill in the bathtub and read by the light of the shower light when I can’t sleep? (I don’t want to wake my Darling Wife)
If you guessed “yes” to any of these, you’re right!
