    Yesterday was hard, y’all. I had a headache almost all day and focusing was not necessarily the easiest. I’m feeling a bit better today (also, my breakfast frittata was much improved over yesterday’s experiment, which wasn’t bad, it was just obvious I’d never made the fucker before). I just need to keep telling myself that,…

    I was going to start Whole30 on August 1st, but then I jumped the gun and bought a bunch of produce, thinking for some reason that the 1st was Wednesday (I blame the coronavirus), so I started today. Now, I’m still legit scared about this, even after planning my whole week of meals (who even…

    To begin my second installment of IHWLC, I’m going to introduce Mah-gret: And that’s Mah-gret, not Margaret FYI. This obviously isn’t her, but it’s basically the same car: a 2000 Mazda 626.

    Okay, so you know how I had my A/C on my to-do list for this week? (Before I get started, thank you to Mom and Dad for giving me my birthday present early because I don’t think I could have survived this summer without air conditioning. It was bad enough up until this point.) Well,…

    Well, it’s official: I have asthma. It actually explains … a lot? I’ve always had a little bit of difficulty breathing when the weather changes (like if it goes from sunny to rainy or when the seasons transition), but I never really thought anything about it. I just thought that’s what everybody dealt with. Luckily,…

    This week is a little nutso for me right now (moving, doctor’s appointments, etc.), so I’m going to put a pause on the Friends challenge until this weekend. I’ll be doing several posts a day so I can get back on top of things, but for the time being, I’ve gotta focus. I have a…

    I just recently finished listening to the audiobook version of Nick Offerman’s Paddle Your Own Canoe (which I called Build Your Own Canoe for at least a week before realizing my mistake) and discovered something truly horrible about myself: I suck royally at follow-through.  Like … I really suck at it.

    So, in our house, my sister and I have this little reading “nook*” by the doors leading out to the deck, an idea I had after moving the little dresser that had been there for years. It’s not much at the moment, but it’s a comfy seat to wait for the dogs to come back…
