It’s May Day! We’ve made it through April, and are now into May. That means it’s almost summertime! I have to say, after my post the other day about the lack of progress on, well, anything around here, but especially the garden, stuff got done yesterday. MIL decided she was tired of FIL monkey-dinking around…

With everything going on in the world, it is so extremely important to take time out for yourself. I am on 24/7/365 when it comes to Little Man, so when I can escape and get time to myself, I truly do treasure it. I managed to get an extra long shower in this morning (15…

Do you ever feel like you have unrealistic expectations? That you hold others to too high of a standard. That your timelines are just too tight for what others can do? That you have a sense of urgency that no one else seems to feel? I know I talked yesterday about analysis paralysis and how…

I’ve noticed this weekend that a lot of my friends are in a tough place. The extensions of the shelter in place/stay at home/lockdown for their respective states are really starting to wear on them. There is a lot to do, and with so many things to get done, it is difficult to pick a…

Anyone else out there suffer from analysis paralysis? I definitely do. The more options, the worst everything gets for me. I have always tended to do a quick cull of options down to three, and from there I can do a more in-depth review and make a final decision. I have found that I am…

Today’s devotion was on the small things. The author quoted James 2:27: “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” Yesterday, Squatch, Little Man, and I loaded up in the car and made the 5 hour drive north. As we drove, we chatted and sang songs, Little Man moo-ed at all the cows he could…

Squatch is coming to get us today! It has been 7 weeks since Little Man and I left with my MIL to come down to Illinois. He’s on his way now; we will see him after naptime. Also, I did a thing, and did a FaceBook live today, showing y’all how to make my beer…

I’ve been thinking about starting a side gig for a while. Last fall, I decided I wanted to become a Registered Parliamentarian, and so I found a reputable course that prepares students to take the exam offered by the National Association of Parliamentarians. Then we moved, and it took Squatch a few months to find…

It’s Earth Day today. I’ve seen a ton of people online sharing how they are “doing their part” for the earth and recycling, or cleaning up some trash they see on the roads/sidewalks in their neighbourhoods. I know, it makes them feel like they are doing some good, but I just don’t feel it. We…

So, I mentioned in an earlier post this month that I’m still working on Social Awareness on my Emotional Intelligence Journey. This month, I’m working on the strategy of “Live in the Moment;” “[i]f you catch yourself being somewhere else mentally, refocus and return to the present. Look at the people around you and listen…
