  • September 2024

    Where did the month go?! No, seriously, it just started. Time has no meaning. I couldn’t tell you what I did this past month, beyond working and not working, which is perhaps a little disheartening but seems to happen more and more as I get older. Time is just ticking by, days on a calendar…

  • Another Month

    Another picture of a puppy. Everything is still feeling…grumpy…but this cutie makes me smile. 🙂

  • Over It

    Over what you may ask? Everything. And I do mean everything. Normally, despite my cynical opinions, I am (secretly?) optimistic about things but lately (noticeable in previous posts) I’m disappointed, grumpy and there is nothing hidden about it. I’m feeling negative about everything from work to the future to life in general. This isn’t a…

  • June 2024

    Well June failed to step up and kick the year back onto a better path. My hope that at this halfway point in the year life would feel more settled was dashed and it is the opposite, I’m feeling more stressed and unsettled than ever. Things that I hoped would be resolved aren’t moving forward…

  • Maaaaaaaaay…

    This month seemed so long and yet it is over as we enter June. I am still waiting to settle into my new routine, the new job and just life as it is now. The last few years have been an upheaval for many and I’m no different. Family deaths, work changes, life stress and…

  • Another one bites the dust…

    Tax season that is, though I have currently lost track of how many are dust, let’s just say – too many.

  • March 2024

    Doh! Missed another month; not that March is a very exciting one for me, just taxes, taxes, taxes… And chilling with Lucy, while we stare out at those crazy birds that keep entering the backyard without our permission.

  • February 2024

    I mentally missed the end of the month, not at work, there I was very aware of the end of February because it is the deadline for tax slip filing, but here I missed it. I had been on a good run of posting at least monthly. So let’s pretend it is still February when…

  • January 2024

    The more orbits of the Sun I do, the more I realize that my brain doesn’t align with the “new year” starting on January 1st. Yes, I live in a Western society that ascribes to this calendar new year, but even if I take time off over the holiday season I still start January exhausted…

  • Year’s End Is Nigh

    I don’t know about you but I’m ready for a new year. I’m hoping my Christmas stocking will be filled with tasty treats and a million dollars. It won’t be, because I haven’t had a Christmas stocking in years so instead I’ll hope for a new year that has less stress, more happiness and lots…
