Treadmill time done, read 33% of Lord of Vengeance (new Ariana Fraser) and our bodycount is 1:0 in favor of our heroine but I expect our hero to pile up the winning number by the end. Laugh out loud moment: "You don't need gunfire at a wedding." "I've never been to a wedding without gunfire."

About an hour and a half to go before the new Ariana Frasier book is in my clutches and it's time to play the "how many things will blow up and/or burn down in the course of this book" guessing game.

Squat/overhead press/deadlift day with 10 minutes of jumping after that! Gym read is Lena Hunt's Bossy Wicked Prince because yes the House of Cards billionaire romance series has hooked me no I don't want to be saved.

Today was cardio recovery day in the gym wherein I read Arden Hart's latest Beautiful Stalker, My Masked Shield and it wasn't just the incline making me sweat. A plus for distracting me and making the time fly by.

today in the gym we squat, we bench press, we barbell row, do 10 minutes of jumping plyometrics (box jumps and depth drops are my favorite) and there's a new Elise Faber book so I'll be reading The Bachelor and the Break-In wherein Jean-Michel will fairy godfather somebody and plots will thicken.

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

If you bought the 2014 edition of The Lost by @sarahbethdurst.bsky.social do you need the new updated edition, asking for a friend. Who would also like to know about The Missing. The friend is me okay.

Cardio recovery day in the gym and I am relieved and possibly about to get serious about my foam roller. Current read: Ilona Andrews' Beast Business, we return to the world of Hidden Legacy where Augustine and Arabella are up to shenanigans.

Well, we survived our first month of 2026. What do you say we call that a mulligan, and pretend that this Monday is the first of the new year? That’s what I’m doing, anyway. New year, new me. New barg...

Hey folks!

Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Today's gym read: Lucy Darling's Oh My Secret Valentine Wedding, and it is the best of the New Hope series so far, I love it, it is everything I want in a romcom. Very Wodehousian but without the G rating.

I stayed up way too late finishing Kane's Prey (Jolie Vines, Skeleton Crew) and holy everything that ending!!! How many days until Tyler's Rule asking for a friend.

Our kid attends a WA online public school and half her classmates are in the hospital. Attending in person is not an option for them. Honestly I'm disgusted that removing accommodation for students is what our legislature considers a priority at this time. #SB6320

Washingtonians, plz support online public school, it is a vital accommodation. Many online students are ill, have special needs, or don't have local schools with the programs they need. Go here to register CON for SB6320 app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Testifie...

Oooo Simone St James is back with A Box Full of Darkness. Sounds even scarier than Sundown Motel. #horror #books

Also good grief I'm not sure combining plyometrics with weightlifting is a great plan; my thinking was my recovery days would just be recovery if I didn't alternate but let's just say I don't have a ton of explosive power left in my legs after squats and deadlifts.
January 20, 2026 at 5:53 PM
Cardio recovery day and I'll be reading Rebecca Jenshak's Playing With Forever, 2nd in her Frost Lake High series. There's also Navessa Allen's Valentine's Slay but it's short. #books #romance #reading
