I know I haven’t posted anything in a while, and I know you’ve all been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear from me because my life is so interesting. So here’s what been going on. I now have three aquariums, a 1 gallon with three shrimp (they don’t have names but

So, I enjoyed my week off. I could sleep in, put away things in my new house, control my life, write, and not follow a schedule other than the dog’s because she’s incredibly routine-oriented. Life came back to me two weeks ago when I had to go back to work. That wasn’t fun. I went

So, as I’m sure you all know because I haven’t been able to stop talking about it, I’ve been moving for the past three weeks. I have been living unpacking boxes and putting together furniture. I’m getting there though. Yesterday, I got a very nice package from Amazon. I got a drafting chair. Now, you’re

Just over two weeks ago, I received the key to my house. That means every day I would bring boxes to the house and unpack them while managing work and school. It was not easy. I was killing myself. I’d start at 7am and load boxes into my car, go to work, unload boxes and

I know my posts have been taken over by my house, and soon, that will probably be over. It’s not very interesting unless you’re, well, me. It has officially been scheduled. My walk-through is tomorrow morning, and I’ll have my key. I am planning on taking over multiple boxes every day and unpacking. Saturday I’m

I have some very exciting news to share with everyone. I got the news that my house should be done in about 2 weeks! Wednesday, I drove past my house and saw I now have an AC unit. I also found a mailbox and house number on the house that I didn’t know I was

It’s been a few weeks since I posted. There are a few reasons for that. First, there wasn’t much going on, so I didn’t want to bore you with the limited details. Second, I ran out of time. Last week I went to a writer’s conference and that was an entire day of school lost

Tuesday was my last of classes for the summer. I was up until 10pm working on my final project for my drawing class. I had finished my paper and submitted it around 7pm. It was tough. It was a self-portrait, and I am not very good at any of that. Drawing a nose was impossible.
-
Update on my house because I’m sure everyone is on the edge of their seat wanting to know if MY house is move in ready or whatever. I think I’m the only one who actually cares about my house right now because it’s mine. So it was delivered on Tuesday and I spent Tuesday, Wednesday,

So my life for the past week has been one thing. My portfolio. Okay, it’s been longer than that. I’ve also been trying to manage work, my house coming, my needy dog, and my other class. Needless to say, I’ve had no life. Well, it’s not like I had much of one before. Today, about

My life has consisted of school and work with a smattering of writing in there. The past two weekends have brought with them a temporary shift. Last weekend I was at Delaware Pride Fest selling books. Going to these events brings with them a life I used to have. It was a life filled with

As everyone can tell, I’m busy. I have school, work, and I’m in the process of getting a house. All three individually are hard, but you put them all together and I’m at the point where I don’t have much to give anymore. I’ve had some people wonder how I’m still standing and holding on.

I’ve had a busy few weeks. Those busy few weeks have resulted in stress and no time. I guess this is the life of a 40-year-old college student with a full-time job. I don’t regret anything that is going on in my life. I am working toward something important to me, well, two things. A

Yesterday was considered a big birthday. I’m 40. How am I 40? My life is nowhere near what I wanted it to be. I was supposed to be married with a few kids and a writing career. Yet here I am in my mom’s house and in school with a full-time job and no kids,

I have been on vacation from work this week, which has been very nice. I’ve been able to sleep in, relax, watch TV, and do homework. I know, that last one isn’t that much fun, but just because I get a break from work doesn’t mean I don’t have school also. I’ll admit, it has
-
My days have been filled with working in a pharmacy while my nights and weekends have been filled with budgeting, phone calls, and homework. Every once in a while things change and something is thrown in such as a meeting or shopping trip. Yesterday was one of those days. I had an interesting trip to

I have been in college since the fall of 2020 and never in that time have I ever contacted a teacher and told them my assignment would be late. I’ve been through near pneumonia, Covid, my grandmother’s death, sleepless nights, and many other things in the past few years. But I’ve never had to contact

As an online college student, there are a few crucial things: a working computer, a functional printer, good snacks, caffeine, and the internet. When one of those is missing it’s almost earth-shattering. A lot of those items on the list can be remedied with a trip to the store. I’ve made a quick trip to

On Tuesday I took my sister to a doctor’s appointment that required testing ahead of time. It also required a drive of over two hours. To say I was bored is an understatement. I listened to 90’s country music on the drive, chatted with my sister, and tried to stay awake while drinking multiple coffees.

I decided to take a drawing class, as I’m sure everyone has seen. Well, here’s the product of six weeks of drawing classes. I’m sure no one can guess what it is because I have pretty much zero drawing talent. Have I improved in six weeks? Yes. Are you able to figure out some things

This week has been tough. I have been trying to train a newish employee, work on school, and the dreaded budgeting. The joys of looking for a house. So school has not exactly been the top priority, which isn’t right, I know. I’m trying my best and I’m human. Wednesday was hard, I had to
-
So, my life has been a little busy, to say the least. I have been working, getting ready for Comic-Con, working on school, and getting ready for my friend to visit. I also had the bright idea of hosting Thanksgiving in my new house. Well, it’s been fun. I haven’t had much time to really
