13.4 A Year of Information

I just finished a yearly project. Each day of the month I posted on a pre-determined theme. During the month of November, I'll post a collage of all my photos on the daily theme from the past year. The theme for the fourth day of the month was "Information."

*********************

Trail Running - I do love having this trail so near my house.
A Surplus of Holiday Cards - In which I sent holiday cards to other bloggers because Minted sent me two orders. 
Pop Sugar 2023 Reading Challenge Plan - Hmm...you guys are probably due for an update on how this turned out, aren't you?
In the News - I probably shouldn't bother checking the news. 
Picking a Book Club Book - The comments were GOLD on this post. I love hearing how other book clubs choose the books.
Q2 Quarterly Goals - Wow. What a boring format for goals, but I like reading about other people's goals. Is this format boring?
Inquiring Mind(s) Want to Know - I answered questions about this project and now the project is almost over and I'm so relieved.
Peonies Everywhere - The prettiest time of year in our town.
2023 Q2 Quarterly Goals Update - Look at me doing things! And not doing other things!
Questions for Readers - I answer questions about my reading habits that no one actually asked.
Questions for Readers, Part II - Ha! Even more answers to questions no one was interested in.
2023 Q3 Quarterly Goals Update - Still have not touched the totes under the beds.

No one asked, but this is stuff I brought from home to my new office. My office is big, yo. Bigger than my husband's. And he's tenured. And a chair. Not to brag or anything. (Also, I make a lot less than him, so the size of the office basically means zilch.)

Earlier this week, San did an introduction of herself for all the new NaBloPoMo readers. I thought it was a good idea, but it seemed like a lot of work until I realized I could just throw it in here.

I'm NGS (some people call me Engie) and I have been blogging at this site for nearly twenty years. I live in Wisconsin with my husband (who I call Dr. BB), my gorgeous dog Hannah, and the Queen of the Household, Zelda the Cat. I work in higher education, but have just started a new job THIS WEEK after almost a year of being unemployed. I volunteer at a community center, don't like to work out, but still try to do it most days, and am always cold. Right now I'm wearing a sweater, a scarf, and I have a blanket around me. Winter is coming and I'm already too cold for this nonsense. 

I read a lot, watch almost no television or movies, and use YouTube for exercise videos and to watch videos about shipwrecks and building collapses because I obviously want my anxiety to go into overdrive. I like fantasy novels and am trying to read every book on the Top Books by Women list from r/fantasy. I read all sorts of books, though, so don't be surprised if you see a book review about a random romance novel or thriller on here, too. Genre for life. Sometimes my readers tell me about picture books and even though I don't have a child, I will take them out from the library and have a GREAT time reading them. 

That seems like enough about me. If you're new here, please tell me a little bit about yourself. If you're a returning reader, tell me either something new about yourself OR predict when I will ever get around to cleaning out those totes.
