personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I'm starting to feel like a real adult, because this is the first year that I have found December to be very overwhelming, stressful, and just going by way too quickly. I mean I found December stressful during undergrad and grad school, but that was because of school and finals season, not because it was … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 12/10/22
This week was such a big week, it was fun and exhausting and that is why this post is basically a noon post instead of a prepped and scheduled midnight release because I started it at 10pm last night and then fell asleep with my laptop open in front of me. I have recently been … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 11/18/22
Are makeup expiration dates really all that serious? How to prepare your mental health for winter. I've never watched Yellowstone, but this prequel with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren sounds like it will be amazing. Bergdorf's infamous ornament store is now online. The truth behind The Crown episode about Prince Phillip helping to identify the … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 11/12/22
I am so excited for this weekend, I need to sleep and not talk to anyone. My voice is gone. I don't know why, but every time I get sick I lose my voice. In high school, I used to keep a whiteboard in my locker to carry with me. Also, no one talks about … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 11/05/22
What a week, I think I hate a short week. They are so rushed, I don't know if a four-day work week would be better or worse than a five-day work week. This is a heavier one, but why inflation is so persistent. The best Tom Hanks movies. Which had to be such a hard … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 10/14/22
I didn't have my shit together enough to get this up on Saturday, so since it's Thanksgiving in Canada today I thought I would just push it to Monday, and here we are. I had such a productive weekend, I deep cleaned my bedroom and living room, finally hemmed my living room curtains that I've … Continue reading Holiday Scroll: 10/07/22
What a weird week, I didn't realize that yesterday was a federal holiday, I would have taken two more days off to take two full weeks off. But given that it was Truth and Reconciliation Day and I work for an Indigenous organization, it felt right to be back at work for it. I don't … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 10/01/22
I am at the point where I am not wondering "Am I the Drama?", and started asking are these external factors the chaos or am I the chaos. I am severely overwhelmed. But I am slowly but surely making it through. I don't currently have Apple TV+, but this show, Gutsy, is very intriguing to … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 09/10/22
This isn't really volume one of Mid-Week Procrastination, but a) I am too lazy to go back to a year ago and figure out what volume this would actually be (especially since my blog doesn't have a search function, which annoys me to no end), and b) we are starting fresh. It's finally warm, we … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 1
I am so close to finishing this ^ but I ran out of thread, AGAIN, and while the thread itself is inexpensive, shipping to get it here was like $15, making the skein I just ordered a $20 skein, and I don't know if I can stomach that again, so it may have to wait … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 05/13/22
