Good Day / Bad Night*
I had a really great day at work today. It was a bit of a rough start for me, as I had a bit of an awful night. I finally fell into bed around 11:30, and woke up an hour later and knew I was going to be sick. I made it up to the bathroom before it happened, but I hate throwing up. It’s so awful. I’ve always had a really sensitive stomach, and threw up all the time as a kid. I really don’t think I have any allergies or food sensitivities, I just have battled bouts of nausea off and on my entire life. It’s actually gotten…

It’s 10:30 and I’m not in Bed*
Hello October. :) It’s been an insanely busy day. Monday has become the day where I shove a week’s worth of cleaning and chores into a few hours so it’s out of the way. Today was meal planning for the week and grocery shopping, then I cleaned the downstairs bathroom, vacuumed and washed the floors on my entire main floor, did laundry, washed all my cupboards and disinfected and cleaned every surface area in my living room. I just finished making lunches and cleaning the kitchen, and I just have backpacks to pack and one more bathroom to clean before I call it a night. I’m tired, but for just…

I Did It*
Today was a cool, grey day full of quarreling kids and not what we expected paint colours, but there was one big ray of sunshine for me: this post marks the completion of my goal to write every day this month. I technically started writing on the 2nd, and didn’t officially make it a goal (in writing) until after I watched Julie & Julia on the 3rd, so while I’m slightly bothered that I can’t say 30 posts in 30 days, I’m still pretty happy with 29. To be perfectly honest, I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Whenever I set goals, I’m usually all gung-ho at…

Why are titles so hard?
I want so badly to be in bed right now, but I’m two posts away from completing my September writing goal and I can’t give up now. Today was such a busy day. I was tired from the get-go after a late night out with friends and I didn’t sleep well. I’ve officially reached that stage in life where I can’t eat late at night… and by late I mean like anytime after 8pm. I went to my friends’ house last night, and she made this amazing roasted vegetable soup with these perfect croissants and it was seriously divine. I asked for the recipe but she’s a way better cook…

This is not okay*
I had something happen this morning that has bothered me more than I care to admit. I don’t typically share my political views online at all. There are a whole host of reasons why I don’t, but it’s just something I tend to avoid. Once in a while though, I will read an article or opinion piece that I find interesting, and I’ll share it on Facebook. Sometimes I’ll add my two cents in, sometimes I won’t. But I share them hoping to engage in interesting, respectful discussion around both sides to an issue. Most of the time, that’s what happens and I walk away feeling like I’ve learned something.…
