Full-Time Life Overload: Update Blog

What a year so far, am I right?

So, if you are still following this blog, I appreciate you. I have not kept up on this blog like I intended to. Since a year ago (literally!), my plate has been constantly full. I have been working from home, which has it's good and bad side effects. Good because it has health and safety in mind, bad because of my distractions. Still being a new instructor at the school I'm working with, I have coursework that I need to finish in order to help our students. But with all the extra time on my hands, my ADD has been playing the devil's advocate with me. First I'm reading leisurely, then I'm reading for work, then I'm sewing, then I'm writing, then I'm writing for my other job (yes, I'm still working a second job at a bookstore, but it has been closed for 2 1/2 months), then I'm back to sewing and thinking about my novels-in-progress....you get the point!

Now with one job ending (just for the summer break) and another reopening, it's surprising I'm even taking some time to write this. Before all this COVID-fiasco, I was planning on writing a few tie-in blogs for a blog I wrote for my bookstore, which sadly did not get a chance to be published due to current events. So I thought I could post them on here. But even though I have been working from home, I mention once again, my ADD has been on full blast, keeping me busy with other ideas and projects when I'm not scheduled to talk with students or doing my own coursework. Now many months have gone by and not one blog up on this site! But I hope to change that soon.

If you do enjoy my blogs, I thank you again for sticking around. I will put up another blog soon with the most recent blog links from my bookstore (I have posted some before); I just sent one off recently and hope to see it on the website soon. Once it is, I will put a link for it up on this blog, as well as my Facebook page (which btw, I have a Facebook page too, Hipsy's Review). 

Until then, please stay safe and healthy as we reenter the working world that's not behind a computer screen or in our bedrooms. And remember, I'm always open for suggestions on any book or movie reviews from all of you, and though I haven't worked on it in a while, I would still like to add more "Which is Better" blogs. So feel free to leave me a comment or email hispysreview@gmail.com.

Hello everyone! I have not forgotten this blog; I have a legit reason for not posting in such a long time. Since my last post, my job as an ...
