Ouch! Lesson learned

Gluten and sugar are very bad for me mmmkay Holy freaking hell! That hurt! I just left my chiropractor and realize that I truly need to give up store-bought baked goods. Prior to the boyfriend’s birthday, I had gone back on a semi-AIP diet (I cut out red meat, gluten, and dairy and went back……

Reality

What makes you nervous? … is what makes me nervous. Putting myself out there IRL. Showing vulnerability. Being real, authentic, all the catchphrases that mean something about being real. You want to see my face? Not just my avatar? All of my internal dialogue shows on my face! You want to interact with “meat-space” me?……

Cellpic Sunday – Longing for Spring

I started doing something on my desktop (which I usually avoid on the weekends), but I wanted to write today and work on my travelogues. As I got settled, I found out that my Lightroom and Luminar catalogs are messed up from the HDD crash I had a few months ago, so while I am……

I do not dream of labor

What job would you do for free? The fact that it’s a job requires remuneration of some sort. I wouldn’t do any job for free! That’s generally considered slavery. Now, if the question is more along the lines of what’s my avocation or how would I give back or willingly serve my community— volunteering—stick me……

Autopilot

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? I should have a personal morning routine but I really don’t. I don’t like thinking nor interacting with people before 10am. My existing routine, if you can call it that, is another one of those things driven by the needs……

Cellpic Sunday

A grey squirrel looking directly at the camera I had a little patience and was rewarded with some direct eye contact. Not that the squirrels in Boston are particularly afraid of people. Some of them are quite bold! This picture is SOOC. No edits. Stats:

Stress Less

What do you wish you could do more every day? I need my brain to shut up so I can stress less and sleep more. https://youtu.be/zb1qC1Z1N3c

No is a complete sentence

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? But one I don’t use enough. I usually deal with other people’s whizz (thanks autocorrect) before my own so that they will leave me alone so I can focus on my goals. I think it stems from being some type of……

I can’t stand the rain

I really can’t. But needs must. Molly came upstairs and got me at 5PM sharp. Potty time! More importantly, time to stop sitting at the computer! (She doesn’t know that I’m trying to study and apply for jobs and that takes more time than my old work schedule). With the back yard starting to flood,……

Time to Escape

What activities do you lose yourself in? Stupid match-three games and books (connect with me on Storygraph?). Not necessarily in that order. I would love to lose myself in hiking, but since I take The Beagles with me most of the time, I have to make sure they don’t catch or eat anything they aren’t……
