A word of advice, friends. Never leave your home in the company of small children without eating first. Don’t care if you aren’t hungry. Bring a snack. Even if you think it’s a short trip, do this. Trust me. You don’t want to make a snack stop when you’re broke, exhausted on caffeine fumes and […]

Day 60
Two whole months of positive thinking! Go me! It’s amazing to me how much this has changed my outlook on life. In these past 60, I can literally only think of two days where it was difficult to find positive things in my day, and while those two days I stretched really hard I still […]
Day 56
Sometimes I feel like I’m counting off a prison sentence numbering my posts like this. I think about doing a different kind if title, but then I’ve been doing it for 56 days, why stop now? Not every day can be the best day. Today hasn’t been the best, but it certainly hasn’t been the […]
Day 54
Yesterday was a delicious blur. Once I got past the parenting part where I was two steps behind anyway. 1. Clean carpets. I shampooed the carpets to remove the stains my offspring left on them. Sadly many of the stains remain, but it’s much cleaner and smells pretty. 2. Live music. Went to a thing […]
Day 52
I missed yesterday, which is sad because I had a pretty good day. Today, I’ve been sick with body aches and fever again so it’s been kind of a blur of herbal teas and hiding under the blanket on the couch with the kitten snuggling. Not too bad when you’re sick. I got a keyboard […]
Day 50
I’m between activities at the moment and I’m super excited for the next thing so time is dragging for me. In a few hours, I will go to my first ever piano lesson. This is a really big deal for me. I’ve always wanted to take lessons and play since I was small. My parents […]
Day 48
I had two good days in a row. Well, yesterday started rough, works been ultra busy and stressful. But after work I went out and had a good night. I ate some delicious African food, then walked down by the river. I need to go back to Al Anon. (For anyone who doesn’t know, those […]
Day 46
I’m curious how other bloggers deal with only sharing the bits of their private life that they want to, while keeping the private, private. There are things going on with me that I’d like to share but don’t because other people’s privacy would be out there, or it might affect the divorce in some odd […]
Day 45
I bought the new Future Islands CD, and right now I’m sitting in my car, enjoying a cigarette while listening on a break at work. I feel like a lot of their songs are similar. But there is a passion and beauty to their music that captures me. I’m 7 tracks in, and I haven’t […]
Day 41…music of the month edition
There are songs I can’t get enough of. They describe my feelings during a particular time, and I listen to them non-stop for a time, until a new song catches my fancy. My playlist is constantly upgrading, rotating the new songs in and the older ones out when they no longer suit my mood. This […]
