personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I am so looking forward to the extra hour of sleep we are getting this weekend, even though it means that it's going to be getting dark at 4:30 and we aren't even at the shortest days of the year yet. I also have my first cold since 2019, and good lord I forgot how … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/04/22
Is it just me or is Wednesday the real worst day of the week, like Monday you're coming off the weekend, Thursday and Friday you're ramping up to the weekend, but Wednesday is just the bleak mid-winter of the week. The importance of public and private lives. Why do bathing suits cost so much? How … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 4
It is crazy how much better I feel after a solid weekend out last weekend and good weather this week. I feel more alive than I have felt since basically before the pandemic started. I feel so happy for the first time in ages, I don't know, there was something about the human connection of … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 06/09/22
Hello and Happy Wednesday! I know the Americans have a short week this week, and I'm actually taking Friday off, so I also have a short week, which is exciting. However, I have also had a headache all week, I forgot to eat breakfast yesterday and between that and the storms my head is pounding. … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 2
This isn't really volume one of Mid-Week Procrastination, but a) I am too lazy to go back to a year ago and figure out what volume this would actually be (especially since my blog doesn't have a search function, which annoys me to no end), and b) we are starting fresh. It's finally warm, we … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 1
Sorry this is so late! I packed up all my work stuff from my pet sit and took it home, including apparently my personal laptop charger. So my computer died on Friday night when I was working on this. Then when I finished my pet sit and got home I stripped my bed and washed … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 04/30/22
Hi, how was your week? I kind of noticed this last year, but I think I am either developing a seasonal allergy, or there is some different kind of pollen up here that I have seasonal allergies to. However, I don't know if that's accurate, because it is still a tundra here and nothing has … Continue reading Saturday Scroll 04-02-22
I think the most honest favorite thing for me to say at the moment would be my bed. I am sleeping in my own bed twice this week, and Thursday is my only full day at home, writing from Thursday, it has been bliss. Although, I have to admit that I struggled at work this … Continue reading Friday Favorites: eco-anxiety, oranges, and Boob Sweat
Happy New Years Day! Welcome to 2022. I hope you had a great night, and that you are surviving this morning. Or that you are chilling after a night in with a face mask, take out and in bed by 10 pm. I actually got a hotel room so that I could come down for … Continue reading (Hungover) Saturday Scroll: 01/01/2022
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
