A New Idea
“Something Good” Sunday This week there have been quite a few “something good”s. Work was still super slow which means that I got a lot done around the house. I have been sticking to my running routine of getting up early and running the 2-mile path around my neighborhood. I opted to make yesterday my… →

The Littlest Step
“Something Good” Sunday It’s difficult today to look back and find something good from this week. I’ve had some crazy fatigue this week and an all-around feeling of unmotivation. There are things that I want to do and yet, I haven’t even thought about doing them. I have a project where I want to reorganize… →

Uninspired
I have felt particularly uninspired lately. I haven’t posted to my social media since before Easter. I have gobs of ideas and things I want to share, but I have no energy to do it. I haven’t even felt like writing lately. I badly need to finish transcribing volume 7 of my journals. Volume 7… →

I usually watched them while I was… →

Once Again…Hamilton
Movie/music Monday I’m writing this post on Sunday night, just before 10:00. I plan to start the 9-10 hour drive back home around 6 or 7 in the morning. No time for a post before I go and I’m sure I won’t feel like writing anything once I get home. Since tomorrow/today is Monday, I… →

Make Your Mark
Screenshot Saturday The screenshot for this week was saved in May 2021. It’s possible I saw it on the Facebook page of the sticker company I get monthly subscription packs from. In May of that year, I was finally wrapping up a year of teaching both in-person and virtual students. It was the first full… →

Vintage Motivation
Talk About it Tuesday I am a chronic screenshot taker. I do a lot of scrolling on Facebook and Instagram and so I am perpetually taking a screenshot of quotes and memes and other things that I want to remember. I have quite the collection of motivational quotes. I think I’d like to start sharing… →
