Can you even believe January is already over? To me it just feels like 2021 ended. I know that time feels like it’s going at about 4x speed. I know I like to listen to audiobooks fast, but I’m like SLOW ME DOWN. Is anyone with me?
Books Read – 21
So first off, I won’t have a picture of all the books I read this month. Why? Because I’m catching up on my holiday vacation and so a lot of the books I “read” in this month were from December. So a picture would be kind of useless and unfortunately this will extend to February as I’m still behind…I’m sorry! I promise I’ll catch up by March!
Secondly, I am happy that I read less than I read in any month in 2021! Did you read that right? I actually read less. I know it’s not all about quantitative – as you might have seen in my 2022 resolutions – but it’s something right? To be fair, half of the month at the beginning was just a reading slump and feeling so bad that I wasn’t reading. And then the second half was just guilt and overwhelming terror at being so behind.
In terms of mental health then, it wasn’t the best, but as soon as I get on top of things in February – which I’m SO CLOSE to being – then I can relax a bit. I hope. But then again this is what got me into trouble last year so welp?
