Life Things
Ok, y’all. I’m back after six months of not posting. I have to admit that I have not been doing much Thing-ing this year. I have read a couple of books for Read or Rid, but mostly, I’ve been reading very trashy romance novels that I checked out on the library’s Overdrive App. (And I’m…
Here it is, another new year, and I’m attempting the Blog Regularly Thing again. I have a better outline of topics prepared than I did last time and I’m not doing any extra contract work on the weekends so I feel like I’m more set up for success this time. Before I go on to…
So, I didn’t complete the Blog Regularly for Six Months Thing. I was three posts short at the end of June. So that one’s going to get a restart. I’m glad I gave myself so much time to do these Forty-Two Things. This has been a slow year. In non-Thing news, I haven’t been at…
In the last two weeks, I have made some more progress on the two biggest Things: the Cookbook Thing and the Read or Rid Thing. It had been a while since I’d done any cooking from the Smitten Kitchen book so I was glad to get back to it. First, I made Broccoli Slaw for…
I am not working on any Things at the moment. I am finally coming out of the depression, I think (yay, medicine!), and so I’m still regrouping. I am having so much fun with my bullet journal though. I have created some collections about the Forty-Two Things and I’m trying to decide which 30-day challenge I…
You guys, I found a new hobby. It’s a creative outlet. And, no, it’s not one of the Things. But it will help me plan and organize my life and do the Things so I think it still isn’t too much of a distraction from the Things. Besides, the Forty-Two Things are not the boss of…
Well, time for an update. Past time, in fact. I haven’t blogged in about three weeks. There are some valid reasons — Fig was sick, then I was sick, then I had to work in the evening. But really, I just haven’t felt like it. I haven’t had much to say. I’m still on track…
I haven’t worked on any new Things over the past week. I’m still writing the three pages a day. I seem to be missing one day a week, which isn’t too bad. So I’m still counting it as a Thing in progress. Besides, I said I’d do it for 30 days, I didn’t say 30…
Over the weekend, I cleaned out my closet. I gained a lot of weight after Ramona was born. (I’m blaming the new medication for it. Combined with a lack of time to exercise.) So a lot of my clothes just didn’t fit anymore. It was depressing to walk into the closet and see hangers upon hangers…
Several years ago, I read — ok, I skimmed — The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. In it, she proposes a creativity-building exercise of writing three pages in longhand immediately upon waking. She calls it “The Morning Pages.” I thought it sounded intriguing, but I am the least morning person you will ever meet. If I…
