Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 14
I’m so tired, I think it’s winter setting in. It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning because it is cold and dark. It’s hard to be motivated to do stuff in the evening because it is cold and dark. I’m trying to work on being better at going to bed earlier and…

Preparing for a Bleak Mid-Winter
Last winter was rough. I had never thought that I experienced seasonal affective disorder (SAD), but that was definitely exactly what I experienced, along with insane loneliness in lockdown after lockdown while living alone in a new town where I hadn’t really made any friends yet, thanks to the lockdowns and work-from-home. It was the…

February Empties
We’re back, it’s another empties post. I’ve included a couple different things this time. Partly because I want to keep track of the different coffees I’ve tried and what I think of them and how many bottles of salt I go through in the winter so that I can stock up for next winter, and…

Saturday Scroll: 02/19/22
I am so looking forward to sleeping and not wearing masks for a couple days. I am going to park myself in that corner of the couch and only get up to flip laundry. My face still feels like there is an N95 pushing into the bridge of my nose and my ears have dents…

Saturday Scroll: 01/07/22

Spending Check In: November Review, December Plans

It would have been fine if I hadn’t needed to spend $1000 on winter tires, I would have pushed my budget to the limits,…

Christmas Movie Marathon
Even though I haven’t lived in the USA since 2006 I still mark the start of the Christmas season by American Thanksgiving. I do not start listening to Christmas music, I do not watch holiday movies, I often don’t even start my Christmas shopping before American Thanksgiving. But American Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and…

Friday Favourites
I don’t know if other people have already had this feeling this year, I feel like I am finally emerging from the pandemic. Trust me, I know it’s not actually over, my entire professional life is dominated by it (although I did have a few hours break this week to make an info sheet on…

Winter Cozies – Fleece and Loungewear Round-Up
It has snowed here nearly every day since Halloween, with really heavy snow starting on Thursday and going into Friday and then there have been flurries every day since and it is sticking. It’s not that cold yet, but the snow is definitely not going anywhere and I just want to wear soft, cozy clothes,…

Friday Favorites: 11/12/2021
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…
