personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
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
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
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 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
I'm having another week where I am super exhausted and am struggling to get out of bed at a decent time each morning. If you read my birthday reflections post, I realized that the only goal I set last year that I didn't met were my "physical" or health ones. So I've made a plan … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
I pushed this to Thursday for my birthday yesterday, I hope you don't mind. I'm really excited for this weekend, we are finally allowed to go to Thunder Bay without self-isolating on return (per work, not the government) and I am going to go to Chapters! and Michaels! and a good Farmer's Market! and eat … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
I don't have any pithy remarks to kick this off, so let's just get into the procrastination shall we? Yesterday was a perfect day, the 20th anniversary of Legally Blonde, definitely in my top 10 movies of all time. The outfits, the cast, the music, all *chef's kiss* perfection. Related: Were Elle and Vivian supposed … 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
