personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
What I did// This week was all about work and rest. We were doing this intense, I don't know, they are calling it a retreat, but it is wayy too intense for that. There is nothing relaxing or rejuvenating about it. It has been rough - between the back pain and the subject matter it's … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 7
You know that meme where you say every day "omg what a day" and then you realize it's just your life. That's where I am. I am desperately counting down the days to my vacation. I'm in love with this new American Girl doll, Claudie, about the Harlem Fashion Row. Look at that gold outfit! … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 12
I don't need this so much this week (I could have really used it last week when I was too busy to write it). I am taking this week off work, but am not travelling nor going home.

Sorry this is so late! I packed up all my work stuff from my pet sit and took it home, including apparently my personal laptop charger. So my computer died on Friday night when I was working on this. Then when I finished my pet sit and got home I stripped my bed and washed … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 04/30/22
