The forecast leading up to these days has been one of warning with people panic buying their French toast supplies and other staples at the stores, schools and work places preemptively closing or going virtual, the news telling us to avoid all ‘unnecessaryContinue reading “Situational Snowstorms”

Painting
Adam and I have been painting our upstairs bathroom for the past week. Normally it doesn’t take us a week to paint a wall and a half, plus two window wells. But we’ve been doing it bit by bit, night by night, one coat then another, some trim here, some trim there, as we haveContinue reading “Painting”
Standing There
“Don’t just do something. Stand there.” I feel like that could be my life motto. While I am thankful for the various jobs I’ve had throughout the years, the core of who I am is contemplative. I could stand, or sit, and think, read, pray, study and write a couple hours every day. To beContinue reading “Standing There”
Sounding Board
I had coffee with a friend this morning. My friend is a creative type with lots of idea. Kind of like me, haha. Over lunch a couple months ago, she mentioned she had an idea to write and create mystery parties. She would develop the story lines, then, as a side hustle, would offer toContinue reading “Sounding Board”
Faster, Faster
Being ‘fast’ is the name of the game at my new job. Apparently. However, I am not a fast person. I don’t know if I ever have been. I don’t know if I ever will be, considering the fact that the older I get the slower I seem to get. Maybe that’s normal and howContinue reading “Faster, Faster”

Online Job Resume (Or I have no idea what I want to do in life, so I do a little bit of everything)
I feel like I’ve had a lot of jobs in my life. So here’s the job rundown (And remember, this is mostly just me processing things/life). My first ‘real’ job was at the public library as a shelver. I put away the books in their correct categories and places that had been borrowed then returned.Continue reading “Online Job Resume (Or I have no idea what I want to do in life, so I do a little bit of everything)”
To the Lady whose House Looks like a Museum
I really, really like your house. It’s fascinating. It’s ridiculously big, and when I first came to your house I thought it was super out of style, old-fashioned and stuffy. Everything looked gaudy to me, antiquey, out-dated. Like, people really live like this? And why do you have so much crap? You must have aContinue reading “To the Lady whose House Looks like a Museum”
To Baby Powder Boy
I’m not really sure aboout you. You’re really, really friendly. You have a good job working with coding and what seems to be cyber security and things of that nature (Things I don’t know about at all). You’re thirty-something. It appears that you are single. And you’re living with your parents for a short timeContinue reading “To Baby Powder Boy”
Thoughts from Your Cleaning Girl
I see everything. I see your dried up, rotting fruit you got from one of those fancy meal-making delivery kits that you never actually used. I see your makeup strewn all over your marble countertop. I see the mold in your master shower. I see the dog hair. All the dog hair. I see theContinue reading “Thoughts from Your Cleaning Girl”
