Not of the Mickey Variety
Well, my husband saw a mouse. We haven’t had mice in our house for years. And never since we’ve had a kid. The last time we had mice was when I was keeping chickens in the backyard. As soon as we got rid of the chickens (they went to my mom’s farm), the mice went Continue reading

Him
I miss my dog so much. It’s just over a month since he’s been gone. I’m laying in bed wishing he was here. It just hurts so much. Continue reading

Constant Anxiety
I am struggling. I find my teeth are hurting from constant grinding. When I am not grinding them, I’m holding my jaw so tight while concentrating on not allowing my teeth to touch each other, that it’s starting to make my jaw hurt. I just finished day 5 at work. That may not seem like Continue reading

Daily Prompt 7
How do you waste the most time every day? It depends on the day. Today I wasted the most amount of time right after I woke up. I started on WP reading other’s posts. then started the doom scroll on instagram. My kid wasn’t awake yet and I was still too tired to start moving. Continue reading

More Improvement with a Random Review on the Side
Today, I progressed with cleaning up my house by cleaning out my dining area and the tops of my cabinets in my living room. I have found that when you have a toddler that can’t certain items for safety’s sake, it becomes very easy to let things pile up in high places. Such as those Continue reading

Patio Reclamation
Today was weird. Our weather was supposed to be up to 90°F. It apparently did get above that, followed up by a random thunderstorm and severe weather warning. Once the storm had passed, the temperature dropped down into the 70’s. It was time to seize my moment (bonus points if you get the reference)! I Continue reading

Weekend Plans
My very short workweek is over. Which is good. I’m a Dispatcher for emergency first responders. I manage a radio channel and take 911 emergency calls simultaneously. When you take vacations from this job, like I did with my 12 days off, it’s a struggle to get back into the swing of things. It’s like Continue reading

Vacation Blues
As my 12 days of freedom winds to a close (I work in a little over 2 hours), I lay here missing Massachusetts all over again. I’m fortunate in that I only have tonight’s 12 hour shift and tomorrow’s 4 hour shift until my next weekend, but that doesn’t make me miss Mass any less. Continue reading

Dad’s Day: Just Another Day
My husband’s Father’s Day was rather uneventful. That’s what happens when you’re broke. That damned airfare really messed with our finances. I’m not used to purchasing for 3 people. Anyways, we ended up at In N Out. The entire meal was more mediocre than usual. I had what was supposed to be a chocolate milkshake. Continue reading

In Stitches
I didn’t make it to the craft store for yarn, as originally planned. Instead I opted to work on something I already had. A cross stitch. I have several started and several other kits/patterns ready to start. I decided on a small kit and started stitching. It felt good. I got a decent amount done Continue reading
