Stuff N Things
I slept in yesterday, and then I slept in again today. I didn’t mean to sleep as late as I did, and the time change certainly didn’t do me any favors. I’ve been working on a new craft: resin casting. I’ve made a few cool items like a coaster set, a few rings, some trinket…
Spring is honestly my favorite time of the year. Everything is waking up, some are just being born. Living in Oregon, it’s rainy and muddy. But that’s what makes it so beautiful. This is why Easter is in the spring. It’s a time of renewal and rebirth, and while I know the holiday itself is…
Turns out I’m not cut out for insurance. Or working from home. I went to work for a long-time family friend, new company for me, new career. First month was rocky for me, I struggled. I like to learn something, practice it, get as close to mastering the task as I can. Then I like…
Good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight. What is a good day to you? I feel like a good day is one where you wake up mostly pain-free. Coffee is good, get a little breakfast food in your belly. Love your people, love your pets. Get some work done on a work day, get some fun…
Why do I say this? Because learning things at 45 has been a real struggle for me. I’m sure I put way too much pressure on myself to learn EVERYTHING quickly. Plus I have this amazing office with all the cool shit I could ever think of having. But that coupled with a timeline that…
After 8 1/2 years at my job, I put my in my notice, and my last day is this coming Friday. I’m really sad about it, but super excited about my new adventure: State Farm. I’ll be working for our good friend Trang Trinh and her amazing team out of Torrence, CA. Since I have…
Well, I’ve been home a bit, and life is back to the weird ordinary. The world is on fire, in some places (I see you, Arizona) it’s literally on fire. I wish I could say I wanted things to be just “normal” but the old ways of doing things and marginalizing people are over. Thank…
Since this whole Covid business has hit, I’ve been here. At my house. Freaking the fuck out. I go to work, I go home. I go to JoAnn to pick up my items that I’ve ordered online. Curbside pickup, you know. For a couple months now I’ve been hiding. Thankfully for my anxiety, but baaaaaaad…
Wow, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted here, and I apologize for being neglectful. Things have been weird, and that might be the understatement of 2020. Speaking of 2020, what a fucking dumpster fire! Life as we have known it is different, and for how long, no one knows. I have been treading water…
Honestly, I wish I had a more exciting subject to write about, but I really don’t. We have a regular family with regular problems. I’m just a regular person with ridiculous issues. I mean really, Jerry Seinfeld led a sitcom for years about nothing. But in all reality, I don’t think that shit works. I…
