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
Well I definitely broke my two book a month trend, finally. I read seven books in July, and I didn't really read during my week off. Honestly, this is kind of blowing my mind.

We're back to this on Saturday, for now at least (well that was the plan, I had no wifi Friday night and all day Saturday). I wanted to do a candle round-up for Wednesday, because I'm running low on candles and there's something about being cozy for fall and burning candles. I have been dreaming … Continue reading Saturday (scratch that) Sunday Scroll

I may have to buy some paper towel for it, which I literally have not bought a roll of paper towel in years, I generally use reusable rags, but if my oven is as dirty as the ones on @GoCleanCo … Continue reading Saturday Scroll

My organization has two hostels that they operate in town right next to the hospital for people who are coming down from remote communities for health care treatment and yesterday was World Suicide Awareness … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: US Open, Beyoncé, star-crossed, and the Met Gala
I am so glad we have a long weekend! I have literally nothing planned and now that my August no-buy is over, I have a couple bottles of wine and time for several long walks. I am kind of sad that is already way too cold to go to the beach up here but it … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: September 4
I'm having another week where I am super exhausted and am struggling to get out of bed at a decent time each morning.

So I've made a plan … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
