How is everyone really doing? What do you have going on?

Personally for me, I went from reading 4-5 books a month to maybe 1 and I'm sad I never have time to read anymore. It really sucks. And the last few days of my life have been so draining and exhausting this whole adulting thing seriously sucks!!!!! And it's impossible to save money in this economy and I want to quit my job and I have to get tested for ADHD l o l. Tell me it gets better

Sorry to hear all that Becs. Life gets crazy sometimes and it gets everything out of whack.
I have not been reading much lately. But my mom passed away on July 21 and it has been hard. My dad and I were by her side when she went. I have been helping my dad here and there.
The girls went back to school thank God lol. They are 11& 12 only 13 months apart, I am their grandmother who became their mom. It gets hard at this age,but God gives me the strength to do it every day.
I like diamond bead painting and reading when I can get a little break to do so. But lately I am too tired to do either or nothing makes sense.
Food is way too night feeding everyone is crazy at times. Everything is so expensive just like you said.
Prayers our lives can get better soon and we can get back to reading like we want to.

I'm just trying to make it to Christmas.

I'll have a short work break then, so maybe I can rest. I've been sick, but we're trying to help our daughter, who is recovering from cancer, so we need the money my job brings in.

No time for the fun stuff, like figuring out who changed most of the book reviews I've posted recently. just today many of my posts are now showing today as the last change. ugh

Fellow college girlie over here - it is consuming my time and soul. The sad part is idek if my time will get better or worse once i graduate cause of our 9-5 culture. I want my own house and a bookshelf and time to read. It could always be worse tho, my condolences to you all and i wish you guys luck. Im also hella lonely so feel free to add/message about anything, i can specifically ramble about books, working out, and movies tho.

Reading a lot between job searches. My kid just went back to school so the schedule is a little less crazy, I have more free time anyway. However I need to find a job now.

I've been struggling a lot with friend issues and my mental health recently, so it's been really hard for me to concentrate on reading. I've only finished one book so far this month and I'm really disappointed in myself

things hit the fan drastically in my life so in reality I'm not doing okay at all, I don't really have any type of support system. was a stay at home mom but now Im about about to be a homeless single mom.

Oh gosh I’ve been slow mow on my reading, there’s always something going on and right now I have a house full of guest that make it hard for my reading time. I’m helping out a family member so it will be a while til I have my home back to just me and back to my reading time without interruptions.

I wanna start off by saying to everyone who previously commented: I hope things get better soon ❤️ life can be difficult sometimes and I know(from experience) things will happen when you least expect it.

For me, I’m doing good. Works good, marriage is great. It is heavy to think of where to go next? Things are expensive and it is something I have great anxiety about. I’ve always had anxiety involving money just from my past. We want to have a baby soon but it’s a scary world out there not knowing what will happen. My father in law said recently “it will get better. It always does” and I resonate with that a lot. I’ve come to realize being an adult now, there will always be something you have to face whether it’s good or bad and I think it helps to combat it as best as you can. I’ve been reading a lot and I think it’s been helping my brain a lot(my husband always tells me how happy he is that i’m reading cause it’s good for you) and it does give me hope. Even if it’s in a fantasy world, these characters and stories we read are actually not so different after all.
