Pet Safety During the Holidays
I have been very hesitant to wade into animal health related content on here. I’m not a veterinarian and I haven’t worked in a vet clinic in nearly a year. However, I learned a lot in my many years of working in clinics and wanting to be a vet that I believer more pet owners…

Spending Check In: November Review, December Plans
So like I said last month, I hoping that putting my money choices and realities out there (loosely, without super explicit details, that feels weird). And well, November was a disaster. It would have been fine if I hadn’t needed to spend $1000 on winter tires, I would have pushed my budget to the limits,…

What I Read in November
I am definitely still in a bit of a reading rut. I read just one book in September, nothing in October (to the point where I had a post planned for early November about being in a reading rut, but then I read a book in a day (a snow day) and I thought I…

Friday Favorites
Honestly, yesterday, Thursday, I was having a sad day. Work was really getting me down. Working in public health is getting really hard, I can’t stop caring about encouraging people to get vaccinated, I can’t stop patiently having conversations with people about masks and vaccines and physical distancing and mental health and coping methods and…

Saturday Scroll

Winter Activities: Hosting a Great Board Games Night
I have been meaning to host a board games night for a couple weeks now, but I needed to push it away from Taylor Swift’s release of Red (Taylor’s Version) because I would not be emotionally stable enough to host an event. I love hosting events, my mom is really good at hosting and I…

Gift Guide for Difficult Dads
I don’t know about your dad, but I do know that I find all the dad gift guides I always see never having anything my dad would actually want on them. My dad does not barbecue, is not really into whisky/whiskey or any other drink, he’s not techie, he is incredibly fussy about his clothes,…

Rental Apartment Essentials
I have now been living in rentals for 9 years (I’m not counting living in a dorm room, there are even more rules there, but you are doing the bare minimum to personalize that, at least if you don’t live in the south, there they do crazy things to dorm rooms). So I think I…
