You may have noticed I updated my website a bit. I changed the theme around, and decided to share not just reviews from my insatiable reading habit, but also my own poems and short stories. I opted to open up my bookish site to a little more personal reflections from me, as I do my best growing as a person when I am writing.

And if you noticed that I am watching The Glades, as mentioned above, don’t worry I know they canceled this show on a terrible cliffhanger. I am extremely disappointed by that, but I still love the show. “Jim” and “Cassie” were cast perfectly in their roles and I am saddened that I haven’t seen more of either of them in other major roles. Meanwhile though, I am on my second run-through of this show, and getting closer to the cliffhanger ending by the moment. I’m going to be pretty sad when I finally hit that last episode. Anyone else disappointed in the ending of The Glades?

We have been discussing the new regulations of what I’ll call ‘mixed beef,’ on top of the many food-borne illnesses that have popped out lately. It’s enough to make you not trust what you’re getting anymore. The conversation has been ongoing, and I’ll admit, I opted for a plant-based meal for dinner because I couldn’t stomach it any longer. On a side note, the French Lentil Salad was pretty good. Enough that I would actually eat it again – and well, dessert was definitely on point tonight as well.

I was introduced to the sounds of The Haunted Windchimes by my nephew when he shared the song by them called, Out with the crow. I’ll admit I was hooked. I instantly looked up the rest of the album and I am madly in love with their voices. I truly don’t know why they aren’t more well known. They have such a unique vibe.
