End of December, Start of 2019 💫
We’re there, folks !!
2019 is RIGHT THERE, we can almost touch it !
Happy “early” New year everyone, I wish you all the best; love, happiness and everything you may want. 💜 Let’s this year be a wonderful year.
Now’s the time to check what I have done this month and what I planned for our very first month of 2019, January.
December’s Habit Tracker;
I like the fact the squares are so much easier to track; opposite to what I had before where I needed to “focus” onto where to do my square (which id mess up some times..). I am quite happy with the overlook of this honestly, though I had quite some problems with walking the weeins this month too AKA Sheik’s hopping on 3paws, storms, rains, etc.. Still need to work on that and find a solution onto stopping Sheik of being back on 3paws after I bring her for walks (harness problems?? faking?? Idk..) 🤦🏽♀️December’s events ;
❋ I had participated into bookending Winter; which I’m pleased to say I had successfully done the 3-5 posts recommended ! I feel there was so much good posts to do this month, yet not enough days to post them.. ahah !
I had done a total of five posts, as of which can be found under the “blogging” category; hover over the word and you shall see a “Bookending Winter” appear. click on that and you’ll be brought to all the ones i’ve done!
❋ I had also participated to a blog tour for the book “Can you hula like Hilo Hattie” ; I choosed to do a author interview for this one, as though I had wanted to read the book truthfully my kind of “slump” of November made it impossible for me to read it on time.. and butcher-read it too fast wouldn’t had be good for neither me or the book. So I am postponing a review later on
❋ I finished THREE books this month !!
What if it’s us (bilingual review), Radio silence (Bilingual review) and lastly Eliza & her monsters (review coming Jan. 6th).
❋ I’ve donated blood for the second time on the 3rd !! I had been wanting to go earlier but as it’s recommended to not lift heavy stuff up to 24hours afterward.. I was waiting for me to have two days off work in a row; which was apparently not happening until then xD (I was due for giving after November 7th… so almost a MONTH after)
❋ “fun fact”, I actually mesured how long my weein’s are ! We were right onto Sheik being longer than her older brother. She’s 16,5″ long while Kafei is 14″ 😱 That’s insane how she had a “long-ing spree” coming at 2years old .. but that’s what happened, ahah!
Enjoy some “Christmas Weeins” !! Please excuse the “blurryness”, idk what mom did with her camera.. anyway.❋ We had our gift exchange with Alex on the 12th, as he was leaving me to go see his family on the 21st .. (and since we aren’t too lucky weather-side..). I’ve received a Dachshund calender, a Legend of Zelda Tumblr and ELIZA & HER MONSTERS!!! He did quite good, if I do say so myself ahah.
❋ As i’m off work 7 days out of the 12 Alex is gone… I went ahead and got another month of Netflix xD So I can finish my “Paranormal Survivor” serie I was already watching, and also finally watched “to all the boys ive loved before” !!! Oh how I loved it, though I haven’t read the novels yet (I want to though..) ; Planning to watch the new Sabrina serie next .. and idk what else. Do you have suggestions for what I shall pick up ?
Not on Netflix, but i’ve also been wanting to re-watch Cardcaptor Sakura !! I had grown watching that translated in french and I barely remember it.. needless to say I do have enough time now, haha…
❋ On Christmas, I ended up receiving BOTH books I had wanted, aswell as an Indigo Chapters giftcard from my parents !! (now what imma buy with it.. mmmh 🤔)
They also gave me plenty of chocolates and candy, aswell as a cosy blankie !!
❋ I turned 24 years old on the 27th ! To celebrate, I’ve done the “Birthday book tag”. And yes, sadly I had to work on my birthday … Luckily I was working with my favorite coworker, so that was fine, ahah.

Onto some new pages ;
My calenders always pretty much look the same, by now, with the additionnal quotes & things I wanna remind myself of the left of itI choosed to put my goals & book read as my second page; see more here, where I recap 2018 goals and give my 2019’s.
I actually really loved this format in December, so I went ahead and used it again !
Tried to do a “festive” page here, ahaha ; on the left you have the usual <I was tagged in; ..> page, but I decided to remove what has been in my drafts.. because I just don’t see the point anymore. Keeping the area to place my ideas though, so I can use them later on.
And lastly, this is what my weekly pages looks like ! my squares definately looks more even that on some months xd apart of that, no real changes here.
Happy January !!
