• Bloganuary 5

  It took me much longer to find the right picture than I thought it would, but I finally did. With the topic of today’s Bloganuary prompt, Joy being prominent makes the most sense. Bloganuary Writing Prompt:What brings you joy in life? As with most of these prompts so far, this one is SUPER vague, so…

• Seasons Of Change

  After the stressful weekend last weekend, I apparently had to outdo that. My old car, Penelope, a 2012 Toyota Corolla with 264,000 miles on her… starting leaking a fluid. On top of the cosmetic damage (part of her front bumper came off and the rest was held on by duct tape), it was more trouble…

• A Happy, Crappy Christmas

  I spent all weekend and the better part of today specifically trying to decide if I needed to write this blog, but I process grief through words. Not only verbally, but also on paper/screen. So… here we go. This Christmas was… different than others. My bestest friend (with the little dog on her lap in…

• Always On The Clock (A Longer Blog Than Usual)

  I’ve been trying to write this blog for days, but something kept stopping me.– Life– Lack of motivation– Not having a good title– Going in the wrong direction The last one might surprise you since my tagline for this blog is literally living life without the socials, and that’s anything that’s happened from August 29…

• Onward and Upward

  I had an eventful weekend in just about all the ways. It was busy with dog-sitting a “new” dog, seeing The Chosen in theaters, helping my mom put together a new kitchen table (NOT the one in the above picture), and having a birthday party for my sister-in-law. I also had an eventful weekend in…

• Election Time Update

  I could be writing for NaNoWriMo and had every intention of doing so, but chose instead to go on the hunt for some audiobooks I’ve listened to in the past to determine if my mom’s husband would enjoy any that he hasn’t already consumed in physical form. So instead I settled on a quick blog…

• Writing Is Hard

  I was going to wait until tomorrow to write this, but just remembered I’m having a write-in with friends for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) and would rather write my blogs in the privacy of my own bedroom. Not that I don’t publish them for people to see, but I prefer people to…

• Confirmations and Convictions

  This week didn’t go as planned. Pretty much since Monday, something has been different from this week than I had scheduled. None of these were bad things… until yesterday afternoon when I suddenly felt as though I needed to be in bed within the next few hours or else there would be “dire” consequences. Since…

• Water Wins

  In the absence of social media, I have a lot more random thoughts. Some of these thoughts stay with me and I ruminate on them. Others just float in and out of my head as fast as a leaf in high winds. One of the thoughts that I ruminated on was a silly idea. I’m…

• 2 Trips In 3 Weeks

  This past weekend was my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Since a surprise party fell through (mainly because money is a thing), my mom and I decided to give them our own surprise and make one of the shortest trips we’ve ever done to see them. Thankfully we spent as much time with them as we…
