  • A Tiny Sip of Coffee

    This post is not related to my Music/Movie Monday theme. It’s not related to the daily prompt about my first video game (Pac Man on an Atari with one of my cousins, I think). Today, I’m thinking about vitamins and supplements…and my grandma. Yesterday I was filling my pill boxes for the week. One for… →

  • Work Was the Cure

    Talk About it Tuesday So apparently the mystery of why I have felt so off and not myself lately has been solved. Over the weekend, I had repeated episodes where I felt like crying for no reason. Where I didn’t feel like doing anything. I actually did cry a little when explaining this to Josh.… →

  • It’s the Nature of Routines

    What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can? Such a weird question! First of all, if I’m always trying to skip it, is it really a routine? Given that I have a full-time job, my routine from Monday-Friday is getting up and going to work. I’d love to skip… →

Even when social media was in its infancy, I could scroll through that for a good while. It works though…watching mindless… →

  • Laziness, Thy Name is Sarah

    What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? Am I supposed to have a morning ritual? What is my first hour supposed to look like? Because really, if the hour starts from the moment I wake up and acknowledge that it’s the morning, that hour, if it’s a… →

  • Strange Days

    It’s a strange time of the year. Every year, the beginning of May brings the promise of summer break. My school year ends right around Memorial Day…every year. And yet, this year, I feel anxious about school ending. Things don’t feel right. I’m not excited as much as I usually am. I feel the same… →
