  • Bee in his ear.

    So I return home to a bunch of chaos in the kitchen. My sisters are ducked off laughing about the commotion. I peek over and my mom is huddled over my dad. He has a towel folder under him and she has several in the near vicinity. She also has hydrogen peroxide, q-tips, and other…

  • In my absence

    In my absence

    I have just been doing a lot lately with life. I wish I didn’t forget to post on the holidays. Christmas and New Years have passed and I’m still playing catch up. I spent Christmas visiting, eating and drinking with family. I was able to get gifts for everyone on my list and that alone…

  • Shower Procrastination

    I save the shower for the last thing on my to-do list. I simply just hate being cold and wet, It isn’t the desired feeling for many I’m sure. Getting in the shower the water has to be piping hot. Something to melt the dead skin and bacteria away. If I feel the slightest drop…

  • animal rule #1

    Do not lick your parts in my vicinity. Not only is the sound disgusting but you are also loud and displeasing to the eye. As I politely correct the dog, I have to shut it down. Big hard pass. Get a room, go find another area or just halt all licking. I would break if…

  • Cubicle life…

    The sterile smell of grey and ugly carpets filled my lungs as I badged in at work. It was becoming a robot with the everyday keystrokes and task. Little movements to adjust my back and bottom. Reaching to remove my spectacles for desired eye breaks between calls. Calls coming in from across the country, the…

  • Bundled up!

    I’m not a fan of cold weather! It usually takes a while for the temperature to drop in the Carolinas but not this year! Shiver me timbers it’s cold! If you follow me on social media you already know I’ve brought out the gang (big hat, all-weather coat, and rain boots). I could have been…

  • Poop game!

    You think I am kidding but my poop game is strong, proud to admit too! Regularly pooping is among the top things that make me happy throughout the day. It’s insane to read or hear I’m sure but it makes me feel more rounded and healthy in the day to count and make poop goals.…

  • Organizing Life

    The best way for me to stay calm in the life I live is to have a thorough organization system. I’m sure on some level you have your own methods, which is great! Keep it up! A handful of notes, to calendars to manage and everyday changing task and goals can be quite the load.…

  • It’s too late for turkey…

    First, let’s be clear, I do not like the idea of celebrating Thanksgiving. I like to think of the holiday as a national day off to be with and eat with family an friends. It’s a day to be merry and not think about the pounds of food to gain. It’s a day where almost…

  • Anxiety and me.

    The ups and downs no matter the importance growing up were so petty and/or ridiculous compared to what we face in the adult world. I have had some great teachers, role models, and family members supporting and guiding me to where I am today. But that doesn’t change the fact that I felt unprepared for…
