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… →

Teen Angst and How I Miss It
Talk About it Tuesday As I have been transcribing my journals lately, I have found myself in volume 7, which takes place in the spring of 1998. I was 15 years old and in the 10th grade then. April was particularly eventful. That month saw me sitting in the back of the school bus with… →

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… →

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… →

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… →

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… →

Don’t Be Afraid
Screenshot Saturday This screenshot was taken March 25, 2021. I’m not sure what compelled me to save this quote at that moment in my life. It was early in 2021. My mother-in-law was still alive, though we were growing more and more concerned about her health. I can’t remember if I had already said yes… →
