Rough Week
It’s been longer since my last update than I’m comfortable with. I admire those who manage to blog consistently, no matter their mood or the demands of life. It’s inspiring—but honestly, I just can’t. Nothing catastrophic happened to me this week, but it’s been challenging. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve…

Empty Fridge, Skinny Body
List your top 5 grocery store items. Trigger warning: this post discusses weight loss, calorie restriction, and body image. This post also contains some toilet talk, sorry in advance!

Decluttering Challenge
Youtube recommended a video for me, about a September 2024 cleaning challenge, focused on home decluttering.

In the Crafting Corner
I’ve been knitting more lately and working on some other craft projects. My elbow feels fine, so I hope to continue at it! There’s an ailment called “tennis elbow” one can get from excessive knitting, but thankfully, I have rested enough and stretched my arm muscles to avoid it for…

The Weighted Hoop
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I used to exercise with a weighted hula hoop and would highly recommend that for anyone interested in a more fun form of fitness. I paid about $25 for mine, I got it at a sporting goods store in the mall (it was…

Bus Pass Guinea Pig
The public transportation system I use just started offering bus passes through their app. Until now it was mainly just for tracking buses, or looking at routes and maps. Now it can sell and generate bus passes as well. I learned this only because I’m subscribed to the transit company’s…

Aaron Bushnell Did A Big Thing (Trigger Warning- Suicide)
Did he set himself on fire for attention? It seems to have worked, it certainly caught my regard. Aaron Bushnell was only 26 years old, he went to an Israel embassy in Washington DC dressed in an air force uniform and livestreamed himself with the Twitch app calmly doing something…
