I should amend that title and maybe go with ‘a year older and wiser,’ because I feel some type of way this Sunday morning.

The great thing about my birthday this year was that I was on the mend, feeling unwell and struggling with nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite but my mind was set on having cake and coffee at Java House for my birthday over the weekend. My birthday, was overshadowed with best wishes for the International Women’s Day- and I snuggled in my duvet and binge watched the K-drama Unlock my Boss– and held onto the hope that Saturday would get here soon.

Finally got a slice of Blueberry cake and Coffee at Java and started reading The Fifth Season by N.K.Jemisin

On writing: I am writing again and loving the time I get to sit down and focus on my current manuscript.

In keeping with my writing goals, I have submitted entries to three publications, received a rejection letter for one and hopeful that I met most of the requirements for the other two. There is something about long form writing that has me reading more articles, essays and researching topics that I would normally overlook like parenting, sci-fi movies, animation, politics.

And that’s a wrap for this birthday girl, I’ll probably go to the market later on. Have a great week ahead.
