Life Recently

Hello lovely readers, I feel like I should update you guys on what's up with me and the blog since my last few postings have been so sporadic.

Blog: I've been trying to get this blog to the point that I'm posting three times a week but it is taking a surprising amount of time and planning.  I will be posting twice a week for the time being. Future posts planned are: the history of Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, May in my rearview, tour of my blogging station, and many more exciting posts.

The Road Of Recovery: There are no real new updates here other than I started going to lots of support groups.

What I'm Reading: I'm currently reading The Office of Mercy, I am honestly not far enough into this book to know what I think of it yet.  Animal Farm, I am nearly done with this book and I honestly haven't wanted to put it down! Every aspect of Animal Farm is enjoyable; I love books with political undertones like this book and the other two books I am currently reading.  Mockingjay has been just as amazing as the other two books in the Hunger Games trilogy.

What I'm Watching: Season 7 of Supernatural, this has been a very enjoyable season far and away better than last season.

What I'm Listening To: Stuff You Should Know (How PTSD Works, How Foot Binding worked, and many more of these epic podcasts), and lots of Classic Rock :).

Things Making Me Smile: painted nails, my kitten, and organizing.

Pictures From my Trip to the Zoo

My mom and I decided to make a trip over to the zoo yesterday, it was a perfect day for it, not too crowded and surprisingly warm.  A nice reprieve from the miserable "winter" weather and being trapped indoors all the time.  I'm so happy that we went over yesterday because it's snowing today, not the perfect first day of spring I was hoping for. 

I thought these penguins swimming together were so sweet.

An owl in the bird house that "posed" perfectly for me.

My favorite picture of the day.

These guys gave us a great show. they were one of the more entertaining animals.

I wish this picture showed how beautiful these toucans are they looked fake they are so pretty.

This fellow was simply majestic standing so perfectly in the sun.

I was really excited that she was up and moving as all the other big cats were bathing in the sun.

These zebras were so full of life it was wonderful getting to watch them run and play.

He was the first animal we saw when we got there.
