Happy February~!

Today is such a special day in so many aspects! Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year to everyone who celebrates! It’s the year of the Tiger! Imbolc Blessings To You. February has a lot of other events happening as well. My SO won’t brag, but he’s got a birthday this month. Creeping up in his mid-30’s now!Continue reading “Happy February~!”

A Music Kind of Day

I drew a doodle today. Because today was one of those no-brain days. I’m not in a great place mentally. I’m listening to upbeat music. Some of my favorite musicals. Some Disney stuff. When your brain can’t be positive, you give it some help. I honestly can’t believe January is almost over. It feels likeContinue reading “A Music Kind of Day”

Realistic Resolutions

I took the owl doodles and threw them into my “resolution” list. I wasn’t planning to make a list, but during my therapy session, my therapist urged me to at least pick a few things to work towards this year. After a bit of contemplation, I think the above is a decent amount of goalsContinue reading “Realistic Resolutions”

Crochet Therapy

I’m having a bit of a manic episode right now. I couldn’t sleep last night. Instead of having screen time, I sat up and practiced a new crochet stitch. I used to puff stitch. I had a good therapy session this afternoon. I acknowledged that I’m having a hard time, but it’s okay for thatContinue reading “Crochet Therapy”

First Snow of 2022

On Saturday, we had mid-70’s weather. Today, mostly 30’s and some upper 20’s. Welcoming in the new year with a freeze, depression, and snow. The cats thought it was great at least. Fire in the fireplace and zoomies on the back porch. A friend shared sad news. I feel useless being unable to offer aContinue reading “First Snow of 2022”

Finch: Self Care Widget Pet

For the longest time, I’ve had Daylio as the application that was “supposed” to track my moods. I bought the app when it was very new and cost very little to get the Premium version (It’s still only a few bucks, but you know…). I just honestly haven’t been able to use it regularly. I’llContinue reading “Finch: Self Care Widget Pet”

Gokyū

So today my SO and I are testing for our green belt in Uechi Ryu. This is an older photograph of my SO and his wee one, my stepdaughter. Some of the things we’ll have to cover during our testing include the first three kata of Uechi Ryu: Sanchin: Literally translated as “three fights/conflicts”. FromContinue reading “Gokyū”

Decluttering and Cleaning

I can’t show pictures of the room. I’m too ashamed of exactly how crazy my room looks right now. I’ve got everything that’s not in storage crammed into our small little bedroom. We have two desks, a desk with a television on it, a queen-sized bed, and a ton of shelves. How exactly do youContinue reading “Decluttering and Cleaning”

CHAOS and the Weekend

So what did you do this weekend? The cats keep jumping up on the buffet where the television is located. That’s not a great location for them so we’ve been trying to cajole them into moving to a better spot. New cat beds were one attempt. Now we’ve got a new cat tree. It isContinue reading “CHAOS and the Weekend”

Tell Me Something About Buddhism

Found another gem at the library! It’s almost time for it to be returned so I thought I’d take some photographs of the artwork and give a bit of a review. I really liked this one. It’s short, simple, and to the point. The name pretty much summed it up. Questions and Answers for theContinue reading “Tell Me Something About Buddhism”
