Got an urge for White Castle in the middle of the night because iykyk. When I tell you I came home to an actual ant ‘nuptial flight’ occurring on my front porch. Me and the man immediately power washed them into oblivion them sprayed it down with bug spray. I’m for nature, just not on my porch. 😩

I’ve got to get off Threads. It’s a bit for the sh1ts. I choose joy. 🥲

I am feeling better, dare I say I could be done. No fever today and vertical. I went to a game with my boo. I was masked however I took it off for pics. First time out of the house in a week. And the Pistons almost won against the GS Warriors.

Sitting here waiting for my sweet potatoes to finish baking, listening to my favorite Christmas song (Someday at Christmas) and finishing this book. Life is pretty sweet sometimes.

Had a random, passing thought of posting every single time the pub industry made me feel bad about *gestures around the entire world* my choice to be an author. I decided against it because today and every day forward, I’m only focusing on absolute joy and gratefulness. No place for the bad shit!

In the year of our Lord 2025, I am not doing any self checkouts. Warmest regards, Ms. Get Somebody Else To Do It

Y'allllllll! I just finished Indigo by Beverly Jenkins, and it was so hot; so delicious. The chemistry had my thighs clenching. The banter made me laugh. The protagonist was amazing. Highly recommend for any historical romance lovers out there or fans of witty banter. #romancelandia #bvm

My mom made me come set up her own Netflix account because she is a fan for Virgin River and whatever that new Tyler Perry flick is. I came, made breakfast for them, and rewatched season 4 of VR. I’m still a teen to them. I’ll take it. ❤️

Don’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday, but I can certainly sing along to every 90s R&B song I randomly happen across.

I’m finally Covid free! Where will I go first??

Marathon sleeping has been my primary symptom. Not complaining at all, but I would love to stay up for five or six hours straight. #covid #sleepingchamp

Welp, the good thing about being trapped in the house for the next week is… at least I can do my edits this weekend. My agent will be surprised I’m done so fast.

We just had a storm so bad, I turned the lights off and sat on the floor. No talking, no electronics just like my mom taught me. Sheesh! I was scared.

That man was not feeling the 6 am run to the airport. But I made it to Cali. Now… let me see if I can find something to get into…

I’m coining the phrase ‘soft Grammy life’ and it basically means I do all grandmother things except host family dinners — because my mom still does that. I do still have to pay though 😂
