A little bit late, but I voted AND wrote today, so I’m excited!
It’s day 2 of NaNoWriMo and I think my timeliness will be a factor this month. It may, or may not be after midnight, but I’m determined to stay on track this time, this year. Today was election day and this is the first time that I actually voted in person on election day. Usually, I early vote at the county, or do absentee ballots. My voting precinct wasn’t actually that bad. There were plenty of booths to vote in, the only bottleneck to the process was that there were only two people working to check people in to pull the ballots. When I early voted last year for the…

It’s NaNoWriMo 2021! I’m totally going to do better this year.
It’s that time of year again! It’s November 1, which means NaNoWriMo 2021 is here! I know I say this every year…but I’m definitely going to make a new post every day for at least this month! This is really important for me. I really need to get back into writing. Writing is something that helps me focus and grounds my thoughts. I definitely have been just kind of floating aimlessly for quite some time, but I’m happy to focus and get back to writing. If this posts late…it’s not my fault. I couldn’t start writing this post until I put up my Christmas Tree, because now that I’m a…

It seems like during Covid, people are learning they don't like their partners. Thankfully I haven't felt that.

Community Matters Most During Social Distancing Amid a Pandemic
So lately…things have changed in this world. A lot. Like…a lot. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t fully understand everything that’s going on and I don’t want to say that I’m scared…but I definitely don’t feel safe. I don’t feel safe in the sense that I am constantly in fear for my family members, as health issues run rampant in my family. Last year, I suffered immense loss and I can’t imagine doing it a second year in a row. In 2019, I lost my doggy (lung tumor), my father-in-law, my cousin, my uncle, another uncle and it has just been a struggle. Last year was also a…

I Moved to the Middle of the Woods
I live where? Yeah I live in the middle of the woods. Fun. *record scratch* Yeah that’s me. I bet you’re wondering how I got here. Funny story. So for some circumstances outside of our control due to stupid landlords and lack of common sense, we saw ourselves in the need of a new place to live when our lease expired. We live in a place that has a bit of a housing crisis, where it was the country a few years ago, and there isn’t enough housing to keep up with the demand. Also, we have Kent State right down the street so having a large population of students…

A Million Little Things Is More Than Just A Show Title
Trigger Warning: This article deals with the topic of suicide This past week, I’ve spent time catching up on the new seasons of shows, as well as checking out some new series that have premiered recently. In the age of binge watching, I prefer to let a couple weeks worth of shows build up so that I can accurately determine if I like the show, or if I don’t. I don’t always like a show from the first episode, but if I stick with it, it ends up being one of my favorites. The show that has really become my favorite is A Million Little Things. A Million Little Things…

Traveling to Miami, Cleveland Airport
Early in the month of May, I took a trip down to the beautiful city of Miami, Florida. The last time I had been in Miami was Christmas 2017, so this was going to be drastically different trip. Last trip had very comfortable temperatures around 70 degrees or so. This one was going to be hot. Really hot. Cleveland Airport The first part of my trip to Miami began at the Cleveland Airport (CLE) at 6 am. I thought it would be dead quiet because I didn’t expect anyone to be flying that early on a Wednesday. I was wrong. When I got to the airport, I was…

Countdown to New Year’s Eve!
I’m good, I’m good, I’m great Know it’s been a while, now I’m mixing up the drank Party Monster by The Weeknd This weekend is about to be one of the biggest party weekends of the year. New Year’s Eve parties are going to be upon us soon. For me, I hope to drink so much that I forget New Year’s Day marks the halfway point of my winter break. The two weeks I get every year to pretend I’m not a teacher and just party as hard as I want. I have to party on a budget this year, but the question is how…
