Journal #19: July 2016

Journal #19

Welcome to August. Considering how late I was to post Journal #18 for June 2016, this time, I'm determined to not make the same mistake. It's only August 2nd and I'm on it already - as it should be. July was HOT! And I mean it literally. There were so many over hundred degrees days, and we live on the top floor, so while the roof of our building is far from the sun, we are still the closest ones to the sun, compared to our neighbors below. If you know a little about me, then you know that I Read More

My Top Four Favorite Things About Fall

My Top Four Favorite Things About Fall

In Game of Thrones, winter is always coming. In real life right now, though, it's fall that's coming, and I am so excited. Fall is my favorite season in the whole wide world! *insert excited voice of a five-year-old* I just think that fall is the most beautiful season, not just in its weather and temperature, but also with fall beauty and fashion.

Journal #18: June 2016

Journal

Considering that today is July 28th, am I allowed to say welcome to July? This journal is supposed to be about how my June went, but because it's the end of July, I have forgotten everything that happened in June. I didn't really do anything special, and I don't even remember how my social calendar went. It's the craziest thing. Apart from the heat trying to melt me, I don't seem to remember what else happened. Perhaps, the heat melted all my memories away. I'm already getting ready to Read More

So … We Rushed Ada Verastic To The Emergency

Ad Verastic

My people, I almost had a heart attack. Let me tell you what happened! It was before Igwe traveled to Nigeria for a couple of weeks. On the night it happened, Igwe and Ada Verastic went to bed at about the same time, while I stayed up in the living room writing. It was past 1:00 AM, and I had just shut down my laptop when Igwe came out to the living room with Ada Verastic. He said she had woken up crying, so I told him to go back to bed while I fed her. I warmed her milk and attempted to feed Read More
