Two Different Days
On Saturday morning I got up early to drive to San Diego. Coming from Los Angeles, the drive is about 150 miles and can be two hours. But if you leave at the wrong time of day, it can get longer and longer (and longer). So when I head that direction, I do my best… Continue reading

The Day My Washer Betrayed Me
So, there I was. It was Saturday night. I’d just finished my takeout. I was watching a movie. I was sitting at the dining room table, painting. I was doing laundry. I was thinking about making hot chocolate. I was feeling at peace. Then the dryer buzzed. Our dryer is a little on the older… Continue reading

Walking
Yesterday, I went on a walk. After being down with COVID for about a week, my stamina had slowly (oh. so. slowly.) started to come back, allowing me to do things like stand up, make dinner without feeling like I was going to pass out, and even do small bouts of yoga that were mostly… Continue reading

A Five Senses Check-In (Omicron Edition)
Hello there. A little while back I started doing these senses check-ins (I’ve done two so far, this one and this one) and I thought it might be time for another one. This one will be a little bit different than the rest, as I wasn’t outside, amongst the sights and smells of nature, but… Continue reading

For some of us, we might even already feel… Continue reading

I feel like a lot of end of year posts tell of things you did, and New Year’s posts tell of things you want to do or think you should. But for this last List-cember post, I wanted to share five things we don’t have to do—even though the world suggests we should. There are… Continue reading

The Tuesdays of 2021 (List-cember #8)
At the beginning of this year, one of my goals was to take a picture on every Tuesday of 2021. Now, I will admit right off the bat that I didn’t remember to take a photo every Tuesday, but of the 52, I only missed six. So I’d say that’s pretty good. Looking back at… Continue reading

Tiny Perfect Moments of 2021 (List-cember #4)
In February of this year, the movie The Map of Tiny Perfect Things was released on Amazon Prime. I mentioned it in my January & February favorites and I have watched it a handful of times since. While the concept is similar to that of Groundhog Day, it takes special care to highlight the small,… Continue reading

The Best Things I Bought This Year (List-cember #3)
Since we are in the spirit of recommendations this week, and because I never get tired of reading lists of random things people like/bought/just thought were cool, I thought I’d share a handful of things I’m glad I bought this year. It’s a little bit of everything, which I personally find to be the most… Continue reading
