2020 hindsight: Part one

Hello! I hope everyone had nice holiday. I sure did. I am looking forward to saying goodbye to 2020. I know that a new year won’t make everything magically OK, but it sure will be nice to kick 2020 to the curb. Personally, I have had a lot of ups and downs, so here it

Unexpected accomplishment

Howdy! It’s been a pretty fun weekend so far with lots of little things — and one big one — going on. I’m going to start off with the smaller stuff and end with the big one. First, I had a lot of fun last night playing a game online with friends. The game, Among

It’s kind of a blah day

Hello, hello. I woke up today feeling kind of blah. It’s probably a combination of fatigue and the fact that it’s my Monday. I got bad news about work last night. I can’t go into too much detail, but someone got laid off, and that is going to result in more work for me and

Today is a lazy day

Hello, hello, hello! I got my flu shot today, but I am feeling well enough to do a post. This flu shot doesn’t seem to be hitting me as badly as others. I’m a little wonky, and my arm is killing me, but I’m generally OK. After one heck of a busy week last week,

Facing a terrifying and uncertain path

Howdy, folks. I have now officially streamed twice on Twitch. I hope I can keep it up. I am going to lose my job at the end of the year, and the job market is so competitive right now. I really hope that I can make at least some money at some point on Twitch.

Stepping waaaaay outside my comfort zone

Hi, folks! Well, I did it. I stepped outside my comfort zone in an attempt to try something new and change myself “one petal at a time.” I streamed on Twitch for the first time yesterday. I streamed for about a half an hour the first time, just to try it out. I didn’t have

Wait, another allergy season?

Howdy, folks. Guess what? My allergies are acting up. I guess because it’s starting to transition from summer to fall. I’ve never really had fall allergies before, so when I started to feel like crap yesterday evening, allergies sure didn’t pop into my head as the cause. For me, I usually just have a massive

Feeling less isolated

Hello! So, one of the reasons I started a blog was to work on changing myself “one petal at a time.” And you know, I wasn’t sure how the blog would go. Would anyone read it? Would I get ridiculed or barraged by insults? My brain usually goes to the worst in “what’s the worst

Something silly, something serious

Hello, all. I have a few things to talk about today. I’ll start off with the serious thing, which is I’m so worried about those liver test results I mentioned yesterday. I don’t seem to have any symptoms of liver disease or anything, but now I’m questioning every twinge, every pop of pain, every itch.

Wow, one month already? Part 2

Today officially marks one month since I decided to try to change my life “one petal at a time.” Yesterday I talked mainly about exercise and dieting in an attempt to lose some weight. Today I’m going to talk about the smaller things I’ve changed. I have not watched TV in a month. My routine
