Dash the Optimism
Good morning, friends. I'm moving slowly today. It's really cloudy and dreary outside at the moment. Yesterday one of my blog friends sent me a message saying she had woken up to more terrible news from the states, and it's really sad that I had to stop and think - what is she talking about?… Continue reading Dash the Optimism
Mildly Optimistic
Hello friends! I hope you are safe and well. It's hard to believe it's almost the end of August. I am currently in the midst of another August 31st deadline (how is it nearly the end of another fiscal year?!) I had a pretty long work week this past week, and have to get to… Continue reading Mildly Optimistic
A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
Hello friends! I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but decided yesterday that I'd take the entire week off instead untz untz untz. It's weird that I feel a little guilty about this. I keep coming up with justifications internally (I've only had two days off since the New Year! I'm burned out!… Continue reading A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Happy Monday, friends! How have you been? Things are good here. I thought I had this quarantine life figured out, but June was a little tough! I think I finally realized things won't be back to normal soon, even though it appears to be an American past time to pretend that the virus doesn't exist.… Continue reading FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Still Here

I feel like this comic sums it up really well. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTjz7vBc4A/ Beyond that, I've definitely been feeling some melancholy this past week or so, for multiple reasons. Thankfully, the weather has… Continue reading Still Here
Memorial Day Weekend
Hello friends! If you are in the states, Happy Memorial Day. We have the day off today, which is so nice. I don't know what to do with all this unstructured time. I simultaneously want to do all the things and do nothing. I realized that I hadn't had a proper day off (not counting… Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend
Fulfillment with the Familiar
Happy Sunday, friends! I'm relaxing after a busy week at work (which extended a bit into Saturday, as well). Yesterday we took the pup on another hiking trip. It was a new park and we basically had it all to ourselves. It was beautiful! The weather was sunny and in the 80s, and I was… Continue reading Fulfillment with the Familiar
Weekend Makes – Earl Grey Wrap
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you all are doing well! I had a good week. It was a very quiet week at work, the quietest since...I can't even remember. I am grateful for it. Yesterday we decided to go for a little hike in a nearby park, since I desperately needed a change of pace… Continue reading Weekend Makes – Earl Grey Wrap
New Weekend Routines
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Yesterday was Husband's birthday. I made him a special birthday dinner of baked chicken (coated in spicy breadcrumbs, yummm), Parmesan and spinach orzo, and a cake! Side note, I have not baked a cake in forever, so it came out dry and the frosting… Continue reading New Weekend Routines
