I spent the last few weeks of 2019 with the flu. But, while I was sick in bed I had a lot of time to do some reflecting on the year. After opening my journal to a blank page, I wrote about what I liked from the past year and what I didn’t like. Once I reflected on those things, I then thought and wrote about the changes I could make to have an even better year. So here are a few of the changes I made for 2020, how my January went, as well as my February goals.

Goodbye 2019 and Hello 2020

2019 is over, and it’s the start of a new year. And today is my blog’s second anniversary. My second year of blogging went a lot smoother than my first. And I was able to stay on a consistent blogging schedule. As well as interact more with other bloggers and open an online store to accompany my blog. Outside of blogging, I was able to a lot more in 2019 than I was in 2018. Since I wasn’t working two jobs I was able to travel, hang out with my little sister, and attend different events. With it being the start of the year, I wanted to take a look back at my second year of blogging. So here’s my blogging wrap-up of 2019, what I learned, and what I have planned for 2020.

November flew by, and I can’t believe 2019 is nearly over. I kicked off the month with a trip to Michigan for Youmacon and visited my family. After that, I took some time to relax and recharge my batteries. I did some painting and caught up on anime and other TV series. Then ended the month with some canceled plans and the materials for a new hobby. So here’s what I did in November as well as my plans for December.

Even though I lived in Michigan for 12 years, I’ve never been to Youmacon. I already had plans to visit Michigan this year since I haven’t visited in about three years and the convention was around the time I was planning to visit. So I decided that I’d finally check it out.

October was busy, but a very fun month. I finished both of my cosplays in time for Youma Con and had a great time on my solo trip to Chicago. And, surprisingly I was able to visit a pumpkin patch and try a pumpkin spice latte for the first time. I even got to see a musical I’ve been wanting to see for a while. Overall I’m happy with how October went. I went into last month unsure if I was going to be able to get everything done. But I worked hard, focused, and got everything done so I could enjoy some downtime last month. So, here’s what I did in October and what I have planned for November.
