personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
Instead of doing weekly favorites I thought I would do a monthly favorite, except I haven't done a very good job of keeping track of things so far this month so I'm not sure how well this will go. My very first favorite has to be the late-summer, late-afternoon light, as you can see in … Continue reading August Favorites
This might be the last Friday Favourites I write in 2021. I haven't quite decided how much time I am going to take off from this quite yet, this is supposed to just be for fun but it is definitely a fair bit of work to keep going and I do want to make at … Continue reading Friday Favourites: 12/17/2021
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 … Continue reading Friday Favorites
This has been an insanely busy, but also a really, really good week. The week started with a memo that Remembrance Day would be a stat holiday (a paid holiday), I went into the office twice, had a work day trip, and then we had a really pretty snowstorm on the stat holiday so there … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/12/2021
This week was a rollercoaster! Mostly in my personal energy levels, on Wednesday I was essentially useless during the day but in the evening. I got task after task after task done. So it's been a wild ride. I feel both behind and accomplished at the exact same time. Elsa Massey @SimplyElsa Elsa has become … Continue reading Friday Favourites:
I feel like I’m running out of time this week and this month. There’s just so much to do and so much happening and I swear 2019 was last year but now my mom is asking for my 2021 Christmas list?? I am really excited to get my (very few) fall decorations, and I may … Continue reading This Week’s Friday Favorites: Cleaning, Nickelback, and Fall
I love podcasts, they are my favourite thing to listen to while I work, walk, grocery shop, clean, everything. Because I listen to them so much, I have listened to a lot of different shows. These are in no particular order, because I don't think I can rank them because they fuel different interests and … Continue reading Top 10 Favourite Podcasts
Professionally, this week was very overwhelming, I'm really hoping that after forest fire season things tone down for a bit at least, but probably we'll just get straight into ice and winterstorm planning and the fourth wave of COVID so ugh. I'm glad to be busy and not bored, but building a department from nothing … Continue reading Obsession: August 14
For only the 2nd time ever I missed my normal Saturday posting of my Obsessions post. The first was because I was moving halfway across the country and hadn't fully figured out the schedule post function, this time is because I have been throwing up violently for most of the weekend and could barely even … Continue reading Obsessions: July 7th
I have not been in the mood to write blog posts for the past, honestly couple months at this point; as you can probably tell by the amount of posts I wrote in April versus May and June. I don't know what it is, except maybe the weather and not wanting to be inside? But … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
