personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This week has been the week that it feels like everything is turning a corner, the snow is really melting. We did have another snow storm yesterday, an absolute dump, it was close to 18 inches of snow. And this time of year the snow is very wet and heavy, no light, fluffy powder at … Continue reading Friday Favorites:
This year feels like one of the longest years I have ever experienced (nearly as long as this blog post OMG). I saw a meme Tuesday that said that the Bernie mittens meme was only 11 months ago, and it feels like that's a lifetime ago, but also yesterday at the same time. I feel … Continue reading Best of 2021 – Media: Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts, Content Creators
Writing that date made me have one of those "I can't believe it's November!?!" moments! This is going up later in the day because my wifi was out all morning! This weekend also feels really off, I have no plans, which used to feel so normal. I'm not pet-sitting, and I don't have any cleaning … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 11/13/21
Honestly, the media this week is pretty lackluster, there aren't a lot of good pieces this week. But: Penn Badgley also thinks Dan Humphrey is the worst. Joe Coulombe aka Trader Joe wrote a memoir, that sounds incredibly interesting from this synopsis, and I've only been to Trader Joe's once! I really wanted to go … Continue reading Saturday Scroll 10/23
I got to do in-person work yesterday! It was thrilling, I'm also exhausted. The most tired I have been in ages. 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
How does time move so slowly and yet so quickly at the same time?! I am still over here thinking that 2022 is two years from now but we are in the second week of August 2021! What is happening to this year? I feel like we are stuck in a time loop of March … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Time is fake and women I’m obsessed with
Should I start numbering these? Organizing them somehow? Putting some kind of additional descriptor after a, I don't know, colon? I feel like after what's got to be getting to close to 20 of these Mid-Week Procrastination posts I should have them down, but hey the imposter syndrome and professional doubt have been real so … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
This feels kind of ironic to write this week as this week I do not need anything to get me through the week as a) Monday was a holiday for me and b) today I am heading up to one of the communities we serve, North Spirit Lake First Nation, to help with youth vaccine … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
So this is super late - oops, but I totally forgot that today was Wednesday and then I got a last minute appointment to have my summer tires put on and drove my car out there and then decided to walk back. The walk took two hours. It started raining. I got completely soaked. And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
