The Scenic Route! .99 Today Only!

 .99 Today Only!

Have you ever wanted to try a Chrissy Munder Romance? Today's the day! The Scenic Route is an @jmsbooksllc Daily Deal. https://www.jms-books.com/pzen_dailydeals.html

Ed Baldwin left his home in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula right after graduation and vowed never to return. He’s patched things up enough that he’s bringing long-time boyfriend Joe Sutton home to meet the family. Ed knows no family dynamic is ever perfect, but with the differences between their upbringings, he worries this will be the deal-breaker in their relationship.

Nervous and on-edge, Ed picks a fight with Joe the entire trip. When Joe has enough and stops at a run-down motel to take a break, their relationship is tested in a way Ed never imagined. There’s not a lot of rest to be had at the Easy Rest Motel and Ed must learn to trust both himself and Joe before they become permanent guests. But that’s not the end of their adventure and Ed knows one thing — this is the last time he lets Joe take the scenic route.

Okay, February. Let's move on to March.

Many thank to the good friend who sent a card that perfectly represents our February. From multiple family members in hospital to my father-in-law's unexpected passing. This was not the month we were hoping for. Let's all look forward to a new month and raised spirits.

Happy New Year! (My inner perfectionist is starting to hyperventilate)

Yes, it's already half-way through the month. Yes, normally you might stop by to read a reasonably upbeat post detailing my wins from the year prior and my hopes for the year ahead. Sorry. This year, well, this year things aren't much improved from last year's additional loss of vision and family upheaval. Goals? Ha! To twist a favorite pop culture reference: Goals? We don't need no stinkin' goals.

But, I do. That's just the kind of gal I am. The question becomes how to fit them into the ever-changing landscape of the too quickly passing weeks? Truly, that's the question for all of us, isn't it? And like with everything else, the only answer that seems realistic is we just do the best we can. 

Did that hurt your planning-loving soul? Is your inner perfectionist starting to hyperventilate? Sigh. I hear you. But reality is what it is, and sometimes, it isn't very kind. So, for 2025, I've decided there isn't enough available energy to keep paddling against the current. It's all deep breaths and going with the flow here at Chez Munder. And, hopefully, the flow will steer me through the completion of a few works in process.

How has your New Year started?
