Since November, I had been very good at Not Buying the Things. And then February hit. Everything seemed horrible and nothing had been going right for weeks. A lot of family business was brought to the surface and I'm not going to lie, it hit me pretty hard. Once an escape, my job began to … Continue reading a little mania

un-interrupted bliss
We got a second snow this year. It started after I had gotten back from work, which, I think was a blessing. I was able to watch fluffy white fall from the sky at 9 pm from the comfort of my bedroom. I wrote and watched and texted a few friends and watched some more. … Continue reading un-interrupted bliss
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 … Continue reading February, week 1
a winter garden
Lately, I've fallen down the research rabbit hole and landed somewhere between container gardens and homesteading. I think it'd be a (really, really) awesome project to start a small vegetable garden. Y'know, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and the like. And, while I've been researching mostly during this frigid winter, I've been itching to … Continue reading a winter garden
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 … Continue reading Losing Steam
2021 bookish goals (and giveaways?)
New year, new goals! We made it through 2020, thank goodness that mess is behind us. I'm hopeful that 2021 lightens the mood of this decade. Please, please let 2021 lighten the mood of this decade. I am so grateful that you take the time to read my blog, and I plan to stick with … Continue reading 2021 bookish goals (and giveaways?)
A few thoughts on December 2020
On December 31, 2019, I passed out on a friend's couch early after working my 6th double shift of the week (or something ridiculous like that). I was awoken at 11:57 pm, so that I could partake in watching the ball drop. I then was told that I had to stay awake for at least … Continue reading A few thoughts on December 2020
Not another YouTube rabbit hole…
We've established that I am normally not very great at keeping up with new hobbies. Typically, I research the heck out of something and then I go for it. All in. Non stop. And then I get bored and I decide that maybe this hobby isn't for me (bullet journaling, anyone?). Anyway, I've recently discovered … Continue reading Not another YouTube rabbit hole…
The Mountain Breeze
The day woke me. This morning, I relaxed outside on this deck bundled up in my pink comforter and watched the sun rise. Then, I made a hot mug of coffee, went back to my spot, and waited for the day to begin. There's something different about the air up here on the mountain. There … Continue reading The Mountain Breeze
Move out day.
Today little sister, Pip, Chip, and Pup, go on an adventure. They're moving back to the big city and leaving us in the dust. I'm glad that little sister is spreading her wings and that she's always going to have company, but man am I going to miss them. So, today we moved (mostly) everything … Continue reading Move out day.
