Update

This month has been a bit rough, but after taking Roy for walk, giving him a bath and hopping in the shower myself, things are looking up. My goal for the rest of this month is to get a handle on my finances. I have an accountability buddy now!

I’ve started Notion for the first time ever. I got a template for the 12 Week Year that I’m trying out. So excited to get some progress going again in my life. I have many goals: from trading in my Ontario driver’s licence to a California one, to consistently walking, from completing my “revise and resubmit” to an agent, to starting working on A Study In Demonology. I can do this.

I will be doing a pop up livestream on Sunday, Oct 20th, so keep an eye out.

The notion template is by Anna Lenkovska.

Reading

I’m currently in the middle of reading Pet Sematary for Scripting the Book. My copy of A Dark And Secret Magic arrived! I’ve been following Wallis’ publication journey and squealing with delight with each update. #DRCL Midnight Children volume 3 arrives tomorrow. Excited to continue on with that Dracula retelling. I’ve also done some beta reading for friends.

Watching

I watched the 1940s Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock with my mother. It was a lovely evening with snuggles. I’ve also been watch partying the anime Solo Leveling with JC. It’s a rewatch for me, but I’m loving it. It’s a comfort watch. One of those shows that makes me want to work on self improvement.

In Summary

Life is turning around. I hope to be on the upward swing for a while. My reading has slowed but not stopped, swapped for beta reading instead. I ordered some seasonal candles which I’m excited to burn throughout the rest of the year. I’ll update you again at the end of the month.
