Last week, I wrote about being too tired to care and too stubborn to quit. I dropped the curtain a little, shared how close to burnout I was, and how much I was just trying to keep going. This post is not a polished comeback or some rebrand of wellness. It is a continuation.This is… Continue reading Low-Key Self-Care Wins

One Word
I feel like I have boiled down everyone I know down to a one-word description. I am tired, and things are grating on me right now, so I do not want to be wordy. Example - I had some foster kittens recently, and one of them was adorable, but out of control, I just call… Continue reading One Word
Lady General
Today is the fourth anniversary of my mothers passing. I miss her every day. When going through some old files a few days ago, I came across this letter that I wrote for my mom for her retirement dinner, many years ago. It is not sophisticated, but it does share just a little of how… Continue reading Lady General

On this journey, I have enlisted the help of Weight Watchers. It seems like a reasonable way to get help. All it asks you to do is pay attention to what you eat and exercise. Since this is what I am trying to do, and the online price has come down considerably, I am giving… Continue reading Wine
Feed Me Seymore
Here I am again, thinking about all of the healthy meals I could prepare and eat to help me lose weight. However, I HATE cooking. To lose weight, I need to eat well and exercise. The exercise, no problem. Eating well, that is the hard part. Not because healthy options are not available, but because… Continue reading Feed Me Seymore

Alfred Loves Mashed Potatoes
This is Alfred. Alfred LOVES mashed potatoes. I also love mashed potatoes. If I give Alfred potatoes on a small plate and make it easy for him to eat the potatoes, he gobbles them and will eat them all. (Do not worry, I do not do this often or give him too much). Last night… Continue reading Alfred Loves Mashed Potatoes
I Have Been Here Before
Five years ago yesterday I quit smoking; this was a significant life event for me. I started smoking when I was seventeen; I was forty-eight when I quit. I had stopped a few other times in my life but always went back to smoking within a year. Hitting my five-year quit anniversary is exciting! Quitting… Continue reading I Have Been Here Before
Back to School Part 2
Going to school now actually is realizing a dream for me, going for something that will allow me to change careers and reach my goals. I mentioned in my post the other day that looking for a school to attend that is 100% online is not for the faint of heart, it is a jungle… Continue reading Back to School Part 2
Back to School
In my ever changing quest to find myself, I have decided to go back to school. Well, decided, enrolled, and start class tomorrow. I am going 100% online, so technically I have already begun my work because they load it ahead of time. The decision to go back to school was not a hard one, deciding… Continue reading Back to School
