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…

Remembering the NY State Fair 2024
It makes me anxious when I haven’t posted on my blog for a while. Nothing too exciting has happened that the world should know about from my perspective, but all the same it seems like time to sit down and post again. My mood has not been great, but that’s…

Summer Solstice and 2024 Mid-Year Updates
I was so negative in my mindset the last time I posted on the blog. During the full Strawberry Moon and longest bright hot day of summer I decided to make some efforts toward keeping a more cheerful disposition and happy attitude going forward (if possible). My meditation habit is…

Wedding Season in Animal Crossing New Horizons
There is an annoying couple in ANCH (a videogame I have played for over 1000 hours, wow) who continuously celebrate their love for eachother every day through June.

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…

Loving February
My daughter is coming to stay with me soon. I see her often, but she doesn’t consider my apartment her home lately (she is 24 years old) so I’m happy and excited she’ll be staying in her room here again for a while. We get along great, but in so…

How to Survive the Deep Freeze
My advice is to stay inside as much as possible! Keep to a small space with doors closed and the windows covered. Personally, I run a small space heater on a timer for an hour or two, in my cozy little craft room when it’s been a freezing temperature all…

Predictions for the New Year
I really tried to imagine a more fun or lighthearted future, but whatever psychic spirit guides me brought only negative premonitions this week, sorry. I hope I’m wrong about it all, I don’t want so many of these things to happen! But here is what came to mind when I…

Winter Solstice 2023 and Other Holiday Happenings
The days have become short and dark, and it’s pounding down snow today, so let me remind everyone how I love this wintery time of year. Recently I got another new jacket, it was on a clearance sale rack around $20 so I couldn’t resist. My collection of outerwear for…

Limping Towards the 2023 Finish Line
The Full Beaver Moon is a funny named lunar phase and last night it was impressive to behold for this vaguely witchy millenial mom. I didn’t go outside nor take any pics, it was a cloudy night with our first serious New York snowfall. But I sat in my dark…
