personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
What I Did// The last two weeks have been absolutely bonkers, I am back to volunteering remotely and I spend so much time in meetings now. At work, after work, it's nearly 8, 9 pm by the time I get done. I'm not mad about it, but it has been a lot lately. I also … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 9
I am taking today off from work! I'm driving down to Minneapolis (about 8 hours) for a concert on Saturday night! I am so excited, I'm going to wear cute clothes, wander around a city, use my passport!! I know I was literally just in a city but this weekend feels like a real trip, … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Time Off and New Curtains
It definitely took me a while to get back into the swing of real life after the holidays, but I finally feel like I'm back. Just in time for the weekend, but you know we take what we can get. I'm actually quite pleased this week, one of the vaccine clinics I helped with organizing … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 01/14/22
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
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
It has been a busy week already! I write these posts Tuesday evenings and if I could get up earlier I would write them Wednesday mornings instead because mid-week energy on a Tuesday evening is very different than the mid-week energy of a Wednesday morning. But this week has felt chaotic, I feel like I'm … Continue reading Mid-week Procrastination: Bean Crime and Fall Plans
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
I have been so tired this week. Every day was a struggle to get up on time, so I slept in til 11 today! I never do that, especially not up here where the sun is up at 4:30. But I clearly needed it. I hope you have a fantastic weekend planned! I was going … Continue reading Obsessions: July 10
Well I did not write blog posts for Thursday and Friday, I had every intention, but I should have known I would be too tired after each day of vaccine clinics to do anything besides the bare minimum of taking care of myself. And the power went out after this crazy wind/rain/hail storm on Wednesday … Continue reading Obsessions: June 26
This has been a very heavy week at work, I work with many Indigenous people and serve Indigenous communities and the news of the mass grave in Kamloops has hit them all very hard particularly and has hit the entire country very hard. We ended up scraping (appropriately and mostly my idea) my big project … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
