Lisa Marie’s Week In Review: 6/24/24 — 6/30/24


This month sucked.  From starting things off with no power to my Dad being in first a hospital and then a physical rehab facility to me continually getting lost whenever I had to drive out to visit any of his doctors, June is a month that I would rather forget about.  I will say that I discovered a lot of emotional strength and maturity that I didn’t realize had but still, I’ve spent June exhausted and suffering from all sorts of aches and pains, the majority of which were and are stress-related.

Luckily, I feel like I’m kind of back to my old self.  I’ve learned to adjust to situation.  And I’ve learned that I also have to take care of myself and for me, taking care of myself means writing about movies and TV shows and the Oscars and all that good stuff.  While family will always come first, I do feel like it’s time to get back to regularly posting here on the Shattered Lens.

Seriously …. BRING ON, JULY!
