Never Gonna Give You Up, Never Gonna Sell You Out

Never Gonna Give You Up, Never Gonna Sell You Out

Okay, so I sorta rick-rolled you there. I’m (sorta) sorry. Things are going to be changing around here, hopefully for the better. If I make a change you don’t like or that breaks something, please tell me! So why the changes? Well, for the longest time, I’ve been afraid of going too far with the actual […]

Do NOT Pick Up that Can

Do NOT Pick Up that Can

So I’ve been having a bit of a rough time lately. Things in life are just…coming together in bad ways, and I can only handle so much. I’ve learned over the years there are times I’ve just got to be gentle with myself. Housework can be done in bits. When I go in the bathroom

MOAR KITTENS!

We’re fostering more orphan kitties for the Humane Society. 🙂 Vlad is the little man with the V between his eyes. The other, doing the faceplant as she likes to do, is Gizmo. They are three weeks old, and have to be bottle-fed about every four hours. Man, I don’t know how we stand the

Escapist Literature for the Win

Escapist Literature for the Win

So I posted my angry rant about #YesAllWomen. That has consumed me for a few days–I think it’s important and I don’t want it to just taper off into silence. I’ve been discussing, and angrily reading tweets, and I’ve got to step away. Today on my Twitter timeline appeared a link with a picture of

Trying to Get Stuff Done

Trying to Get Stuff Done

So since that marvelous seminar I went to back in April (or was it March?) I’ve been learning a bit more about how to be productive. Last night I was listening to a recorded webinar about “single-tasking.” One of the bits of advice was to “plan tomorrow today.” Meaning that you should walk into work
