I'm going to say something that may come across as somewhat controversial. But I hope you'll stick with me... The last few years have been pretty rough, right? I mean, I remember this time last year thinking I wasn't ready for 2022 because I still hadn't recovered from the trauma of 2020. And now, here … Continue reading Reflecting on 2022

Another Day One
I started a new job today. I was going to end that first sentence with an exclamation point but I find I'm too tired at the moment to be excited about it. That doesn't mean my first day was a bad day. It was a very good day. It was just a very overwhelming day. … Continue reading Another Day One
One More Day
I only have one more day left in my current job. One more day and then next week begins a brand new adventure. No... that sounds more exciting than it is. It's a new job... not an adventure. I'm nervous and have no idea what I'm doing. But I'll learn. And I'd be lying if … Continue reading One More Day
I Did a Thing…
Not sure how much I can or should actually say at the moment. But I've been offered a new job and I have accepted said job. I've given my notice to my current employers and will begin my new position in a couple of weeks. I'm nervous and excited. It's an interesting mix of feelings. … Continue reading I Did a Thing…
Summoned to the Office
A little background... I don't typically work in our office. I'm out in the community with clients throughout the vast majority of my work day. For me to go into the office is a rare thing. It means I've got a meeting with my supervisor or a staff meeting or a client needs to meet … Continue reading Summoned to the Office
I’m Not Ready for This
Tomorrow is April 1. That means tomorrow begins the A to Z Challenge. I am truly unprepared for this thing. I said I would be writing some kind of short fiction every day based on random words beginning with each day's appropriate letter. Thus far, I've received words from friends and family for A through … Continue reading I’m Not Ready for This

Question of the Week #297
If you knew that devoting yourself to an all-consuming occupation--music, writing, acting, business, politics, or medicine--for 20 years would make you one of the best in the world at it, would you? If so, which would you choose? Absolutely, I would. And of those listed, I'd definitely go with writing. I already love to write … Continue reading Question of the Week #297
Milkshake
Because today is Chocolate Milkshake Day, our Sunday Scribblings prompt for this week is Milkshake. If you decide to write a post based on this week’s prompt, be sure to go back here and share your link so everyone can see how you interpreted things! Here’s what I did with it… I'm gonna be honest... I am feeling … Continue reading Milkshake
No Movie Today…
This week's movie is supposed to be The Third Man. But I haven't watched it yet. And I'm not in the mood to watch it yet. I don't know what the deal is. It's like I'm in a funk today. I'm stressed out about work. I'm anxious over a potential change that I'd kind of … Continue reading No Movie Today…
