  • Telling a Good Story

    Music/Movie Monday I’ve posted before about how the movie “Signs” is the go-to Sunday night movie for Josh and me. I can’t explain why that’s our comfort movie, it just is. But we actually have a handful of movies that we’ll rotate among when needing a background noise comfort movie. One of those is “Super… →

  • Sleepless

    Last night, I was laying awake for a brief moment before I ultimately fell asleep. I was trying not to think about work. I have only three days left, tomorrow not being one of them. There is nothing left for me to think about except for the email I plan to send 10 minutes before… →

  • A Generally Good Weekend

    “Something Good” Sunday I survived this week. That’s good enough for me. I have exactly three days of work left, next Tuesday through Thursday will be my last. This week seemed to take forever to get through! But it’s over now. And I am in the middle of enjoying a three-day weekend of my own… →

  • Some Good Reminders

    Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot came up in my memories on Thursday. I had saved it three years ago. If memory serves, three years ago, I was beginning to come to the end of my first year of grad school. While my second year, the internship year, was the worst, the first year was certainly… →

  • I Like Beets, But I Don’t Like Liver (or Pepsi)

    Flashback Friday I’m revisiting one of the daily prompts that came up on this day last year. I thought maybe there was a way I could tie in my answer to the “Flashback Friday” theme. My answer to this question last year was “Why?”. My husband would always try and help me when my anxiety… →

  • Amazing, But Not Really

    Thursday Thoughts on Mental Health With my line-up of daily themes, I noticed Thursday didn’t have one. In thinking about what I wanted to write about today, I decided mental health topics in general would be good for Thursday. It is, after all, what I aim to do on my platforms. Talk about mental health… →

  • My New Haven

    5Ws Wednesday–What can’t I do in here? -or- Wait, you expect me to leave?! I stayed home from work yesterday. My best kitty, Faye, had a routine vet appointment in the morning and then I had a follow up doctor’s appointment in the afternoon. Since I don’t get paid for sick days I don’t use… →

  • Still Just a Job?

    Talk About it Tuesday Today is Tuesday. I’m home from work because my furry bestie, Faye has a vet appointment and I have my own “vet” appointment later this afternoon. That means I have only three more work days this week. Next week, I took Monday off because I have sick time to burn—I won’t… →

  • From Page to Screen

    Movie/music Monday Today is more of a “Movie Version of Books Monday”. I seem to be on a kick of reading books that are about to be turned into movies. Actually, they already have and are about to be released. First I read Remain by Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan. Before I was finished… →

  • The Simple Things

    “Something Good” Sunday I was waiting today to post my ‘something good’ because I had this wonderful picture planned out in my mind. I was going to have Josh take a picture of me sitting in our finished study/creative space. We went to Ikea yesterday and bought everything else we needed to make it the… →
