After doing monthly wrap-ups in 2025, I decided to go back to weekly wrap-ups for 2026. I’ll be linking up with The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer.

Life

I’ve encountered a problem with my laptop, so it’s possible my final year may end sooner rather than later. If I suddenly disappear, it’s because my laptop stopped working and the old desktop didn’t work either. I’m hoping it’s just something simple (I think the cooling pad stopped working, so it’s overheating and locking up), but I’m not sure what is happening. Hopefully it’s something simple that is easily resolved, because I use my laptop for everything- blogging, tracking my reading, reviews, applying for jobs, streaming, research, entertainment, email, etc.

Other than that, my sleep cycle is shifting from day to night currently. This phase doesn’t usually last that long before I start staying awake most of the night again. I’ve always been a night owl.

Now that I’m fully in my Final Year, there will be multiple posts on some days, just to make sure I get everything I want to say in before the end.
