I’m so glad that May is finally over. I’ve been in a funky mood and have had some things going on that have been eating up time that I’d rather spend on reading or blogging. I had a few doctor appointments and needed to have a colonoscopy done for the first time. It was definitely not the most pleasant of experiences. Luckily, they found nothing serious, which means I get to have even more tests to investigate potential causes of my symptoms. Yay! /s I am grateful for the thoroughness, though. It is honestly strange how differently I’m treated now that I’ve had a rare cancer. Every single symptom is investigated with multiple tests to make sure there’s not some other weird thing going on. I feel so special. lol.

My wife has continued her job search, and everything just feels like it is in limbo. We will likely be moving somewhere new before the end of the year, but I have no idea where we’ll be yet. It has me on edge, and I’m just ready to know what’s going to happen so I can start planning. On the bright side, I found out IKEA finally delivers to our home, which means I could purchase some bookshelves I’ve wanted from there for a long time. I spent a week building them and still need to work on getting the base boards re-installed. I actually have extra space on my shelves for the first time in forever. I’m sure it won’t last long. 🙂

April felt like a bit of a slog despite also seeming to fly by. It has rained SO MUCH. There were some points where I wondered if it would ever stop raining. lol. Everything is so saturated, and now May is off to a wet start, too. On the bright side, I haven’t needed to use my sprinklers. So, I guess it isn’t all bad. My wife has been looking for a new job, and it seems like we will probably be moving in the near future. I’m actually quite excited at the prospect of being somewhere new, but I dread needing to move all our stuff, especially the mountain of books I’ve acquired. Has this stopped me from buying more books? No. 🤣 Speaking of books, let’s get to the point of this post and jump into what I managed to read in April!
