Good morning all! It's been a long, odd couple of weeks, so let's celebrate the wins, shall we? I received my first dose of the vaccine on March 31st! I was so happy and grateful to have received it. My second dose is on April 21st. My second creative non-fiction writing class ended last week.… Continue reading A Quick Spring Update

Overdue Finished Objects
Hello, friends! How about we have a roundup of projects I finished months ago and are no longer seasonal? YEAH! I will warn you in advance that I'm experimenting with where I take my photos, since I don't always want to put on a fashion show for my neighbors in my backyard. Right now that… Continue reading Overdue Finished Objects
A New Season
Good morning friends! I hope you are all doing well! I haven't posted in awhile. Multiple reasons - work was simultaneously making me stressed and sad while also being very slow, I was working on a frustrating C2C crochet project that I kept having to frog, and just general fatigue. Last week was my anniversary… Continue reading A New Season
Accepting Winter
Hello, friends! I am writing to you from my couch, buried under a blanket, as a light rain falls. We've been getting snow on and off this week. I pretend to hate snow on my Instagram, and I certainly have mixed feelings with it. Part of me is the Texan who is still fascinated by… Continue reading Accepting Winter
A Little Bit of Sunshine
Happy weekend, friends! Wednesday was a wonderful day. I know there won't be overnight changes now that Biden is in office, but I've been feeling optimism about the pandemic (and life in general) for the first time in a very long time. If the pandemic is marathon, we're at mile 20. I know I'm relatively… Continue reading A Little Bit of Sunshine
Quick Update Post
Good morning all! I woke up earlier this morning but my time is disappearing quickly. I wanted to journal a bit and write for class, but I'd still like to do yoga at some point. SO SPEED UPDATE POST. Work is still tiring but I relaxed a lot this weekend. We took a beautiful walk… Continue reading Quick Update Post
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
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
Labor Day Weekend
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you all are well. I'm very excited, as (A) another August 31st has come and gone, and (B) I have the day off tomorrow! I have a Barnes and Noble trip planned for tomorrow that I'm excited about. I may even get dressed up in some ~~fall gear~~ The weather… Continue reading Labor Day Weekend
