personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
What I Did This Week: This week was solely focused on back pain, I slipped and fell last Monday and I thought I was fine, but I am very not fine. I have never really had back pain before, but this is something else. One of my co-workers asked me how I was doing Wednesday … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 6
What I did this week: This was another basic work week, I was in Weagamow First Nation (aka Round Lake aka North Caribou Lake - although I did learn this week that it is Weagamow, which translates into English as Round Lake, but the settlers named it North Caribou which is now it's government name … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 6
Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week, whether you were back to work this week or, like me, you took this week as extra time. This week I am experimenting with this new format, kind of a combination of Friday Favourites and Saturday Scroll/Mid-Week Procrastination. If you have any thoughts about it please … Continue reading The Friday Edit Vol. 1
I have been up north all week and I am so ready to get home. I'm tired, I miss my cat, my bed, and my Christmas decorations. I also broke both thumb nails this week and didn't bring any nail supplies and have just had to deal with them for the whole week. Which now … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Solo travel, serums, and in/out lists

I saw a meme or quote, I'm not sure which it would be, that said "all the other mammals hibernate … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Cozy Season

I have been so cold and tired constantly this week, and it's only just started to dip into the double digit negatives, so I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of the winter. I need to get more blankets, more … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Winter non-essentials
I had every intention of writing this last night, but we didn't get back from our work trip until 9pm and it was such a long day that all I did when I got home was feed the cat, lie down on the couch for half an hour and go to bed. I do however … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/11/2022
I am so looking forward to the extra hour of sleep we are getting this weekend, even though it means that it's going to be getting dark at 4:30 and we aren't even at the shortest days of the year yet. I also have my first cold since 2019, and good lord I forgot how … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/04/22
It's so funny how much difference a week can make in your mood, or even a day, I was nearly skipping home from the gym. It is great (although I am currently sobbing watching The Princess Diaries), so take from that what you will. And Happy New Taylor Swift day to all who observe. Social … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 10/21/22
This was supposed to be my first full week back to work after vacation, last Friday was Truth and Reconciliation Day so we were closed, and then Monday is Thanksgiving but I got my fourth dose of the COVID vaccine, the new bivalent vaccine and it decimated me for about 36 hours. I had a … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Non-fiction Week
