  • Good Morning! I took an extended break on posting to make it through the recent holiday and work through a couple of extremely busy weeks. I’ve spent a lot of time de-cluttering and re-organizing my side of the house and I’m not where I want to be just yet but definitely getting there. It’ll be…

  • Good Morning! It feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post. Life has just been really hectic lately and work is so slow that the financial strain is reflecting more and more on my mood. Everything is getting so expensive and my income is less and less despite efforts to bring in clients…

  • Good Morning! I’ve been thinking a lot about how people dream and how it reflects the situations that you’re living in your everyday life. Last night I had a dream that I was at the shop and my boss and the shop owner were out front to tell us that the shop was shutting down…

  • Good Morning! Life has been fairly uninteresting this past week. I did some more work on my car and got a working coolant thermostat installed thanks to my boyfriend. Of course it snowed the day we were initially going to do it so had to postpone to the next day and it was so cold!…

  • Good Morning! Today I’m writing from my parent’s home as I went to visit and cook for them for the Thanksgiving holiday. I enjoyed the actual cooking part and like spending time with them but it can be a bit overwhelming. Today I’m going to take a little time to get out and do some…

  • Busy, busy, busy morning so far! This time of year it feels like there is always so much more to do than the rest and I can never catch up with everything. This afternoon I’ll be spending some time replacing the coolant thermostat on my car. It’s an older model and I’m thankful that I…

  • Good Morning! After yesterday’s post I felt pretty good to have talked about someone who I deeply miss and the rest of the day was fantastic. I did some really cool tattoos on some awesome people and I very much enjoyed talking with them and learning about their lives. But, once i went to sleep…

  • Good Morning! This morning I’m not having any strong feelings about what to write about so I’ll have to just see where this goes. I read a couple of blog posts this morning talking about trying to find connections with others and all the struggles of it even now with pretty constant access to so…
