Just a thought dump about chores, motivation, and the mentality to maintain: "I feel overwhelmed with responsibilities right now. Dishes are piled up on the counter which just adds to my waning motivation to cook. Vorg and Tater's fur has been drifting like tumbleweeds around the kitchen floor for the past week. But I'm tired and overwhelmed and stressed. The never-ending-ness of it all is getting to me. I think I subconsciously got it in my [...]
The story of a memory that resurfaced as I was getting ready to move back in October: Sitting in a large closet in a room full of boxes and bags containing most of my belongings, I am packing up to move on to the next phase of my life. This is always a somewhat nostalgic process as I stumble upon items that may have been lost from memory until physically resurfacing. There are a few items that [...]
I don’t know about you all, but this has been such a long, crazy week! Work has had just a little extra spice added to it, and on top of that, I’m currently housesitting. I honestly love when I get to stay here and help these people with their wonderful puppies, but something about not going home to sleep in your own bed can somehow make long weeks even more exhausting. I took a nap when I [...]
I read an article today about casserole. No, it wasn’t a recipe shared on a mommy blog. It was written by a lady who was looking at the Church (big “C” intended) and seeing a glaring dysfunction. The link to it is here, but I’ll also summarize it for you. Basically, she describes a time that she was going through a divorce – devastated, hurt, just trying to make it day in and day out. Within [...]
I've often thought that if I were ever to leave my current job, it would be a beast of a task to try and update my resume. In fact, I tend to reflexively chuckle a little bit whenever someone asks me what it is I do for work. How do I begin to describe it? Yet, as it is imperative that you, my reader, have some context for my occupation if you are to even begin [...]
I suffer from seasonal allergies. Many people (30% of our adult population) do. Pollen and other microscopic spores that permeate the air in the warmer months can do a number on my sinuses and make me quite miserable. For some reason my body has decided that these things are out to harm me and it freaks out when it detects them. But pollen isn't inherently bad. It serves a very important purpose in our world. Without [...]
(Erin's note: This is obviously 100% fictional) It all started when Erin was taking a shower and she was singing "come on come on turn the radio on it's Friday night and I won't be long gotta do my hair and put my makeup on it;s Friday night and i won't be long" so she did she did her hair and then her makeup then she sang "come on come on turn the radio on it's Saturday [...]

"I'm honestly terrified of getting old and dying alone... I got a birthday card from Geico today and it triggered something. What if I end up one of those old ladies who's family and friends have all gotten married and had kids and moved on with life and I'm left sitting int an old house by myself ripping up junk mail into little pieces just to keep myself occupied with only Geico acknowledging my existence with a [...]
