Yeah, okay whatever, Lea! Anyways, my week hasn’t actually been that bad. However, there are a few things that upset... Continue Reading →

Hello everyone and good evening from the region! I've been struggling to keep up with the blog lately so I wanted to take the easy way out tonight and use one of the prompts WP gives us each day.

For those who need to hear it (Help your anxiety)
This post is for those who need to hear this tonight. I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like I have to write this post. Recently I’ve been reading A Faith Encouraged by Fr. Barnabas Powell.

Life – I have been evicted
I have been evicted. Yes, you read that right. I was recently booted from my office at home by my landlord. She informed me a couple weeks ago (for the first time) that I was getting the boot. When I asked why, all she said was “this room will be the baby’s play room.” There... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving 2023
My holiday weekend started last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to get off work early, so my work-day ended at 3:30pm instead of 5.
