Cats and Sunbeams: an OTP for the Ages

So! Surgery! Fun stuff, yeah? Bleh. But hopefully worth it. It’s behind me now, though, yay! I’m finally getting to where I don’t spend a good portion of my day in bed. I couldn’t be happier. My cats are also ecstatic. And I’ll tell you, I’ll be happy for some peace. It’s been quite a […]

Weekend of ACCOMPLISHING STUFF

Weekend of ACCOMPLISHING STUFF

Weekend, yay! I’ve been needing it all week! When you start on Monday afternoon going “it really needs to be Friday,” you can guess the rest of the week is not going to be peachy. I spent much of it going “I’ll get that this weekend” and then fretting that my weekend would be miserable.

I’ve been working to move my family onto the Flylady system for housecleaning, because even if we only

I Create It All

When I was in elementary and high school, I slid by with as little effort as I could manage. I generally read the assignments, and sometimes I did the work but mostly I didn’t. In high school especially, I did homework consistently for one and only one teacher. Despite this, due to inborn ability and

College a Scam?

That’s what I got when I typed “college” into my Google search bar. That was the suggested term. That’s sad. As for me, I’m loving my second college experience. I’m starting gently. I’d be a fool to start any other way, after what happened last time. I’m taking Spanish because it’s absolutely necessary and I don’t
