  • Today’s thought

    Today’s thought

    Pretty much everyone ready this will frequently hear (and maybe use) the phrase, “practice makes perfect”. (If you haven’t heard if before, then that’s interesting.) Especially in the context of practising something or self-improvement. There could be a slight problem with that phrase, in that it may subtly shift one’s thinking to aim for perfection.…

  • Sometimes…

    Sometimes…

    Typed but not read back or edited. I can see things so clearly, it’s hard to know if others are purposely (purposefully? idk) ignoring things that seem perfectly obvious. Perhaps they do see those things, but they just let those thoughts float by and focus on what’s more important to them. (Or just what’s seemingly…

  • Thinking About Life Goals

    Thinking About Life Goals

    In my last post, I talked about my desire to get to doing things. One of the reasons for that is to get past the “planning and preparation” stages that I so often eagerly jump into but just as often don’t progress beyond. Now, the reason for that is partly because I’m just that way…

  • Thoughts on my current health situation.

    Thoughts on my current health situation.

    As you may or may not know, I have Crohn’s disease. This causes a lot of problems for my day-to-day activities and lifestyle, especially when the symptoms worsen like during a flare-up. Now I can’t control what my body does as far as my Crohn’s goes and I can’t always control how it affects my…

    **insert post title here**

    When I can’t decide on a topic to write about, I’ll usually start writing whatever is on the forefront of my mind. The problem is that there are usually a multitude of topics being thunk through in my brain… so I’ll end up with a weird combo of subjects that don’t necessarily mesh very well.…

  • Thoughts on imposter syndrome and my health.

    Thoughts on imposter syndrome and my health.

    In preparation for writing this post, I decided to take some random imposter syndrome tests I found online. It was a very spontaneous decision so I don’t know what to make of it yet. Note to self: You’re probably experiencing imposter syndrome about your imposter syndrome. Please try to remember that you don’t need to…

  • Why I find Messenger to be a pain.

    Why I find Messenger to be a pain.

    This post brought to you in part by Starbucks. Free WiFi and not-free snacks available now at Starbuckses everywhere! For the past few weeks I’ve been mostly avoiding Facebook Messenger on my phone. I realize that I already do that fairly often without meaning to, but this time is slightly different. It started out as…

  • Where to start?

    Where to start?

    I sometimes have high expectations for myself. 🤨 Okay… very high expectations. 😑 Yes, yes. I often have unrealistically high expectations for myself. This blog is one of those things. Even though I don’t end up putting too much effort into what I write on here (most things end up being silly and totally great!),…

  • Washing Dishes

    Washing Dishes

    Let me tell you something. Washing dishes is one of those activities that I hate and love at the same time. Why I kinda like washing the dishes. It doesn’t take too much thinking to accomplish this task, which is the biggest draw for me. I can listen to audio drama, or podcasts, or even…

  • Pirate milk. It’s a thing.

    Pirate milk. It’s a thing.

    I mentioned here once before that when I was younger, I started calling chocolate milk “pirate milk”. It was mostly because I’m silly like that, but also partly because our family ran a day home at the time, and the kids liked the name. Pirate milk because chocolate is like gold, and Pirates like gold,…

  • Celebrating one week…with chocolate!

    I just ate a few bites of my chocolate Easter bunny. Why? Because I was craving chocolate. But then I remembered that I hadn’t written today’s blog post AND that it has been one week since I started posting daily. That’s crazy! And the chocolate suddenly became somewhat celebratory for me. This is the first time…

  • Little adventure

    I like adventure. I especially like adventure in the great out-of-doors! Like going on a big river trip or camping through BC. But sadly, adventure like that doesn’t happen every day. (For the most part…) To deal with the lack of “big adventure” in my everyday, I look for “little adventure”; which is very similar to…
