Thoughts on Life
Picking a philosopher to have dinner with is assuming I know any philosophers and what they taught. Google gave me a handy list of the most famous philosophers to help me choose. They broke the list down into categories such as ancient and classical philosophy, Eastern philosophy, Rationalism and Empiricism, and ethics and the Enlightenment.… →

I Will Remember
Screenshot Saturday Today’s screenshot was saved on May 24, 2023. As I recall, I had just finished my first year of grad school and my last year as a teacher. It’s curious to me why I saved this. It’s possible that after a year of grad school I still wasn’t sure about wanting to become… →

Golden Girls Summer
Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot was saved on July 3, 2021. The summer after Covid. I saved it because that year, my online knitting group returned to holding our annual summer knitting “camp”. We couldn’t have it during 2020 because of Covid and the shutdown. But we came back with a vengeance the next year.… →

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… →

The Air is Clear
“Something Good” Sunday This week was a long one! I worked a full day yesterday, and that threw off the rhythm of my weekend. But, Josh being as amazing as he is, did all the things yesterday that I normally do on Saturdays…laundry, washing dishes, etc. He asked me before I left what I was… →

No Regrets
Screenshot Saturday I saved this on June 12, 2021. That surprised me because this feels like something I would have saved…yesterday. In 2021, particularly in June, I was on summer break after a year of teaching post-covid. Josh and I were living in the bigger of our two previous apartments and there wasn’t much on… →

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… →

Shenanigans With My Sister
Screenshot Saturday Today’s screenshot was taken on July 11, 2021. That was my birthday. I’m not sure why this one stood out to me that day, but it’s relevant to what is happening this week. My oldest sister is my half sister. In fact, all of my sisters are half sisters. So she was the… →

Did I Ever Tell You…? (Part 6)
5Ws Wednesday (but not really) The question today doesn’t start with a W, it starts with a D, as in, did I ever tell you? I can’t really finish that question without turning it into the full story. It’s hard to summarize what I did in one sentence. I can’t really say, “Did I ever… →
