Hibernating
Good morning all! I hope you were able to find some joy this weekend. Even without the coup, it was a rough week. Current events made me sad. Work made me very sad. To cap off a rough week at work, I was the recipient of a not-so-great email that was sent 5 pm on… Continue reading Hibernating
A Quick Update
During my vacation, I wrote some blogs for this month and set them to publish on future dates. I knew this month would be busy and it was a way for me to stay "active". I'd neglected to remember I had set a date for one of my posts the very day after the insurrection… Continue reading A Quick Update

MEGA BOOK CATCH-UP POST – Part 1
Hi friends! It's been...oh dear...over a year since I last posted about the books I was reading. Here's a summary post of all the books I've read in the past year (past year and three months but WHO'S COUNTING?) I'm splitting this update into several parts just so I don't bore anyone to death. I'm… Continue reading MEGA BOOK CATCH-UP POST – Part 1
Happy 2021
Happy New Year all! I hope you had a cozy winter break. Ours was good. I definitely felt sad at points - we ended up not going on our camping trip (which was the right decision) and we missed our families. I think the night before my brother's birthday made me the saddest, since I… Continue reading Happy 2021
Bloom Where You’re Planted
Tonight I took my last creative nonfiction class through the Indiana Writers Center (through Zoom, of course). It was a wonderful, warm group. We shared our vulnerability and sadness through our stories. When the pandemic ends, I look forward to meeting up with my classmates in person. This writing class was a bright spot in… Continue reading Bloom Where You’re Planted
It’s the Most Wonderful Time…of the Year (???)
Hello friends. Happy Sunday. Five days left before Christmas, and eleven more days in this garbage year. But at least we've approved a second vaccine in the US! I feel like the light is finally at the end of the tunnel with this pandemic. I follow several medical professionals/science communicators on Instagram for COVID info,… Continue reading It’s the Most Wonderful Time…of the Year (???)
An Update from the Grinch
Less than a month left in this terrible year and two weeks until Christmas. Two weeks?! I already want to fast-forward during the holidays when it's a normal year. I suppose the one benefit of staying at home most of the time is that I am not subjected to Christmas music while shopping. We haven't… Continue reading An Update from the Grinch
Yoga For When You Can Barely Stand Up Straight
On Monday, I pulled my back. You'd think that as someone who's had back problems since I was a teenager, I'd have figured out how to protect my lower back by my mid-30s, but NOPE. APPARENTLY NOT. It was a series of completely preventable events. -Go running 4 miles on Sunday for the first time… Continue reading Yoga For When You Can Barely Stand Up Straight
