Waiting

I am going to try and keep up with this writing thing. For as long as I can remember, I've begun a writing project and then stopped half way through. I am never sure how and why I stop writing, because I always want to write. I want to remember. Every day, I plan out …

Long story short, it’s still a bad time.

I tend to put a lot of pressure on things that really don't require that much attention. It's a habit of mine that I've been trying to break for the longest time, but sometimes the bad habits win. Often, this comes as a "I can't do x, y, z, until everything else is perfect." I …

February, week 1

I spent the past few days resting and recharging. And, for once, I think that the rest did me good. Wednesday night, I slept for 12 hours, and then took a 4-hour mid day nap. Exhausted still, I barely left my bed. All I wanted to do was sleep. And, for the first time in …

Losing Steam

Winter is in full swing. I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything. Self-isolation is getting to me. Long story short, I've had to quarantine in my room again. I've had a few movie nights with friends, and I've written letters and sent cards and have had virtual get togethers, which tend to help for …

Dear Reader: Thank you.

Well, friends, 2020 is finally over. We made it. This year was a rough one, to say the least. And, I think we've all tried our darnedest to stay as positive as possible throughout the year. I'm beginning 2020 with deep breaths and candles. I, personally, have learned quite a bit about myself this year. …

The past week has been a blur. Brain fog strikes again. All I want to do lately is curl up in my bed with the pup and a cup of coffee and read. But, all I've had the energy to do lately is lay in bed. I've done some Christmas shopping, and I can't wait …

A day of cuddles

Today was a good day for soup and reading and puppy cuddles. I woke up naturally at 6 am. Let the pup outside. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to carry him down the steps to the grass this morning. We've gotten a lot of rain recently and the pup does NOT like …

Another Grounding.

Upkeep on the house has been interesting lately. With younger sister moving back in and chaos still ensuing from clearing everything out of bedrooms and the dining room and living room. And, eventually I've found that taking some quiet time to care for the house plants and watch the bird feeder grounds me. Which, is …

One day.

I occasionally do this thing where I decide that I am going to do something. Sometimes, this want culminates in house plants and pet fish and then a planted aquarium. Here's how it starts: I spend countless hours researching and compiling information and planning out how I would go about the task, and then researching …

The day-to-day has felt like a lot lately, and I've stumbled back into reading. I've missed it. And, I hope to continue to slowly enjoy my reads. Currently, I'm reading Elena Ferrante's The Story of a New Name and I've missed this writing style. The audible narration is also soothing, so if that's your thing, …
