Goodbye, March!

You know the saying "out like a lamb, in like a lion"? That was my March. Super nice and chill and relaxing and hopeful in the beginning. Fucking awful in the end. 

2024 Resolutions:

     (1) Don't stop reading
            (b) Complete Monthly Reading Challenge(s)
     (2) Make memories
     (3) Share love of books/writing
     (4) Be kinder to myself

(1) Books read this month: 50 (might get one more in there before midnight though).
    (b) Monthly Reading Challenge(s): Shape = Pot of Gold at the end of a Rainbow. Got some A-Z stuff recorded. Tried to catch up on the backlogs. 

(2) March Memories: Birthday dinner with my two bestest friends. Visited my sister in Florida where: (positives)... I got to see my sister, my brother-in-law, my doggie-in-law; I got some really great food; I got some sunshine and heat and a nice mental/emotional break; we went to the zoo, the manatee viewing center, and more & (negatives)...my flight down was changed 13 times; my rental car broke down on day two; I had to take my sister to the ER in the middle of the night; I got sunburnt. 

(3) Posts this month (including this one): 22.

(4)  I haven't been great at drinking water or packing myself lunch (or breakfast). I tried to eat better here and there. I told myself it was okay if I had some treats though. I pms-ed for two whole weeks, where I was angry and emotional as fuck. I made some really rough decisions the last few days, which will suck (change sucks and I'm also kinda scared of what people will say, but I'm also really excited and hopeful for this change (it's been a looooong time coming and I deserve it) (I just hope the universe is kind to me and helps me bring this change sooner rather than later--manifesting this shit). My mental health hasn't been great, I'll be so freaking honest rn, it's sucked haaaard, but I know I have a great support system rn too to keep me from fully drowning. Fingers crossed April has some more metaphorical sunshine for me to step out of the shadows and bring much-freaking-needed change. 

Anyone still holding onto their resolutions?

Any exciting April reads?
