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

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
It’s That Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
Good morning friends! Oh, how is it already August? The days are both very long and short. I can't believe another client deadline of 8/31 is nearly here but on the other hand - did my brother really get his kitten only three weeks ago? I thought he had her for two months now. What… Continue reading It’s That Little Souvenir of a Terrible Year
A Quick Catch-Up Post
Good morning friends! I hope you are well. I'm doing okay. Still on the coronacoaster and, like anyone, have good and bad days with it. Lately I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed by work, and haven't had a lot of mental energy to deal with much else. I've been drawn to simple, cozy projects at nights… Continue reading A Quick Catch-Up Post
Experiments with Embroidery
Good morning friends! Back to work today. I am ready. It was good to take a longer break, even if I felt guilt at times. It was fun to have an introspective summer camp of sorts here at home - what did I want to work on or explore? I decided to work through the… Continue reading Experiments with Embroidery
Staycation 2020
STAYCATION, ALL I EVER WANTED STAYCATION, HAD TO GET AWAY Morning friends! Somehow, we are now officially halfway through this dumpster fire of a year. But onto more positive topics - it is the first day of my staycation! I definitely limped to the finish line on this one. I love my job but finding… Continue reading Staycation 2020
