Books, Blogging and more!

End of April and end of the 1st Bujo!

End of April and end of the 1st Bujo!

Good morning,

Here we are again.. man this month was bad on my side for the posts inspiration juice going, also maybe for reading too- not quite a slump, but i’ve just been more “erh” reading than usual. đŸ€”

Also, I may or may not be panicking as im SO not ready yet for my book tour on the second of May *aherm*

April’s Habit Tracker

That was a pretty good month nonetheless if you ask me.. still place for improvement 🙈  but way better than past month’s so far, specially on the « Weeins » part of the HT.

And though i’ve hit some “blogging holes” throughout the month, only two days were left un-returned on comments so yeah.. im quite proud of this..

 

Events of the month

~ First, I finished (quite late..) my Netgalley’s Arc of We were beautiful – which to be fair I had gotten like 5days before publication so eh, that happens 🙈  I then went ahead and finished rereading Heavenward (free currently on amazon, guys!!) and will soon finish it’s sequel, Hallow; review here.

~ This month, I was also participating into the BookEnding Spring event hosted by Sam & Clo! Sadly, my brain wasn’t as imaginative as I thought It’d be when I first saw the prompts.. but I nonetheless succeeded into doing my minimum of three posts! Soo, yay?

~ Because of the delay between the time the government got my money and the time I sent it.. I technically STILL had 46cents of interest to pay on my student loan 😂 which was paid at the start of the month.. I even received a letter congratulating me for paying it all! (Which, ironically only arrived on the 27th..)

~ I finally re-did my dermal!!! Aaah !! đŸ‘đŸŒđŸ‘đŸŒ which i’m gonna do a off-track post on both my experiences, because holy that second time was a change of the first! Instead of 5mins, it took her 30..which mom was panicking on the other room thinking i’d had fainted or something xd but no.. just making sure it was were we wanted it, that it was deep enough as not everybody will have the same “depth” and stuff.. been only 9days and it already looks so much better than the old one never did!

~ I haven’t done a post this year, but on the 22nd we celebrated the fourth year since mom’s kidney transplant 💚 You may have seen it on twitter, as i’ve mentionned it aswell as shared my fb post that I wrote on the occasion. If you are unaware and want to know more about this, I have a post on that.

Unlike our usual BuJo posts, this was the end of my first Bullet Journal (the blue one) — So we won’t get into May’s pages in this post, as I already showed them to you when I did my “Start of a new BuJo” post. If you have missed them, please feel free to go click the link and go see them now !

** The “Next month’s Bujo” will of course be back at the end of May’s Bujo post **

 

How was your month? Anything exciting or new in your bujos, lately?

  4. Kristina tu crĂšmes les pattes des chiens??? Why? Because it’s winter and there is salt on the roads??? LOL

    1. Exactement!
      That’s why 😂 with the cold and salt, the toesies gets dry and harsh… its more like petrolium jelly and not like cream-cream.. we even put it on their bellies (dry skin) and Kafei’s bald spots. So it protects and hydrates.

      Sheik had a paw pad injury where a chunk of black « leathery » of it removed… so it helps.

    1. So far the inspiration is still kinda « erh » 😂 but yes! Though with the lowering of her immunity to be sure the new kidney isnt rejected, she have a little things here and there but no more dialysis! So that’s good- she’s no longer « slowly dying », the rest is pretty minor to me.
