January Debrief

Phew.

January began with me all by myself, I believe for the first time in my life. I was sick and stayed home as Tonia and Tanner went off to ring in the new year with her family. The month only got more exciting as I began jury duty (also for the first time in my life), had a little outpatient surgery, got LOST and 24 back, saw the inauguration of the first African American POTUS, dealt with some more Mad Church Disease, broke my personal record of books read in one month, and went to my first concert in over a year.

All told January was eventful, but it’s probably one I could have done without. That said, here’s a list of the books and movies I consumed in January.

Books Read:
Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff
Wild Goose Chase (Audio Book)
Chasing Daylight (Re-read)
Crazy Love
