That Feeling When…
You drive to work in a snow storm, work 12.5 hours, finally thaw your car out, and when you’re one street from home… Someone slides into your car. 🙄 What a way to end your 60 hour work week. 😄 Howdy, folks. Hope everyone is well. As I stated up top, this was my long…

100K All The Way
A bit behind the past few days due to multiple issues, but on the same day I made my 1,000th post I also got the following notification: I won’t bore you all and wax poetic for too long this time around, but I would be remiss if I did not extend a huge “thank you”…

For My 1000th Post
I would just like to take the opportunity to say… When I started this thing about 11 some odd months ago, I had no idea I’d still be doing it at this point in time. Quite frankly, I figured I would either get totally bored with it in very short order, or I would ditch…

Two Days Late
If this question had come up two days ago, my answer would have been much different. But after the events of yesterday, I am feeling a bit more jaded. Been doin’ a lot of thinkin’ Two days ago, my answer probably would have involved, at least to some degree, a few words about embracing creativity…

A Morning of Disappointment
I had logged into the platform this morning with the intention of getting caught up on comments, reading and maybe getting a post out there. What I got instead was a boatload of disappointment. I am sure several of you have seen Laura’s post by now and know that I had the unfortunate honor of…

Thirty Freaking Minutes
That is all I saw for 30 freaking minutes last night when I clicked on anything. And I was not having a problem with any other web pages at all. Just the same, I cleared everything, logged out and back in, etc. Nada. After about half an hour, I gave up and called it a…

Another blogger MIA
Reblogging Alice’s post, as I too, hope Renard is ok. While it is certainly possible he just said the heck with it and bailed, Renard seemed to be a very committed blogger who was in it for the long haul. If anyone knows, and/or can share, is he ok? I don’t know if anyone has…

A little Saturday rant
You know… Far be it from me to assume something would work correctly. So, I was replying to some comments, and I accidentally send one to the spam folder. Ok, fine. No biggie, I’ll just go retrieve it. Now, admittedly, I don’t check my spam folder often, but imagine my surprise when I found about…

When the Stone Crushes You
Apologies in advance for what is mostly going to be a stream of consciousness ramble. Yes, the title and images are a reference to Sisyphus and that pesky stone. Most days as of late, the stone feels pretty light, honestly. Akin to carrying a pebble in your pocket. Barely noticeable. But a couple days ago,…

The Kovalenko Chronicles (pt. 9)
A Different Approach Xi made her way angrily to Vasilev’s office. She was completely enraged. First, that her subject made her look quite the fool, and second, that her work had been interrupted. As soon as she was done with Emil, she would take care of that annoying little bird once and for all. When…

SLDS Challenge (02/02/24)
This week’s prompt for the Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies challenge is: A romantic rendezvous on a rooftop. I went through quite a few iterations of this trying to get just the right amount of romance and spice I was looking for. Since I tend to prefer darker themes, nighttime was a given for me.…

She is a children’s book illustrator who regularly posts extremely funny pics and sometimes asks for captions from her followers here on WP. Today, however, she posted a very personal story which touched me deeply, and also has a goal to help a friend,…

First Day Of School!
And, man…Do I so not want to go. Anyone who’s been reading along might know that I signed up for an 8-week course recently, and I am also looking at pursuing an associates degree after that. I’ve been pretty psyched up for it the past week or so, but now that it’s here I really…

Five Things I Have Finally Come To Terms With
After reading this post from Pooja G I was inspired to do my own version of this list. She has graciously allowed me to link her post as well and I am truly grateful! I encourage you to check out her unique take on this list also. It really registered with me as the last…
