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

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

Time to Hit the Ground, Running or Otherwise.
Okay. So two days later, I’m finally feeling fully rested after returning home from Massachusetts. The airports/plane really drains the energy out of you. It didn’t help that there was a damn mouse running around us at Logan. I was so afraid my kid would see it and start chasing it. Gross. Anyways, I have Continue reading

Exhaustion, Climate Torture, Intimidation.
I’m in Massachusetts. My husband’s family is everywhere. I’m exhausted. The only reason I get this alone time is thanks to my kid’s nap. I should be utilizing the time to nap as well, but I’m freezing. Humidity is a weird thing. It’s like I’m covered in dampness as if I’m sweating, but because I’m Continue reading

Riding the Rollercoaster
This week has been so up and down, I’m exhausted from it all. Yesterday it all came to a head and I was forced to deal with it. My kid woke up early. I know I had one hour of solid sleep. but then I laid around in a daze for 2 hours while she Continue reading
