February and March were both a blur and a marathon.

I was able to donate blood for the first time in a year, nearly a year to the day, in early February.

I finally finished formatting “Specialton” on March 29th. This is a huge accomplishment for me. I thought it was going to take me a lot longer. It’s 99 chapters. I sent it to my social media manager and my editor. They are excited, and so am I.

Valentine’s Day was really sweet and special. I love spending as much time with Al as possible.

I’ve made a lot of progress with my office. I finally cleaned off and dusted my desk. I filled a kitchen garbage bag with stuff that needed to be thrown away months ago. I set up my mechanical keyboard that Al got me for Christmas! I have more things to do, but I’m really happy with the cleaning and organizing that I’ve done recently.

I published two Book Reviews! You can read them here:

• Book Review #105: “Meet Isabel and Nicki”
• Book Review #106: “The Night Swim”

I have two huge boxes to send to Trey’s Dolls, but I’m waiting for Vicki to return home before sending them.

Come back tomorrow to see my April Goals!
