https://truthandcake.com/2012/04/19/youre-not-doing-it-right
It’s All Right Here. You’re Not Doing It Right. Posted on April 19, 2012. What do you make of the little irritations in life?

https://myonepreciouslife.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/metamorphosis
My One Precious Life. As far as I know, I'll only get one. Trying to make it count. Posted in Things I Think About. Things That Happen Sometimes. So, I just turned 35. Which feels kind of old. I mean, half way to 70. It definitely feels older than any age I’ve been before. (Go figure.). A lot of them, I moved away from because they just didn’t seem important anymore, and some of them I moved on from because I attained them. But it’s where I started versus where I am now that interests me. Fill in your de...

My One Precious Life. As far as I know, I'll only get one. Trying to make it count. And the living is easy. Posted in Joyful Things. Oh god, I love summer. I think I tell you this every summer, but I really do. Today was hot. And yesterday was hot. And the day before that was hot. Like 30 degrees hot. (Which is some hot number in the American system. I can’t be bothered looking it up. Sorry.). I made these. Ha ha! And I’m having a special summer because I’m not working. Yay mat leave! For another thing, ...

My One Precious Life. As far as I know, I'll only get one. Trying to make it count. Sometimes I really love humans. Posted in Things I Do. Yesterday I was supposed to go to a meet-up thing at a park. Of the 30-something people who were supposed to be there, I only knew two, so I was expecting to get there and not know anyone. And the living is easy. 8 thoughts on “ Sometimes I really love humans.

All in the Fullness of Time | My One Precious Life

My One Precious Life. As far as I know, I'll only get one. Trying to make it count. All in the Fullness of Time. Posted in Things I Do. Things That Make Me Laugh. When I was almost half way through grade 12, I was informed that despite stellar grades and an unnecessary number of academic credits, I was not going to graduate because I had misinterpreted what counted as an “applied skill.” So in the second semester, I dropped whatever I’d been planning to take (History, maybe? It was brilliant. (I went...

https://truthandcake.com/2012/05/28/risk-guns-blazing-or-why-i-moved-to-canada-for-love
It’s All Right Here. Risk Guns Blazing, or Why I Moved to Canada for Love. Posted on May 28, 2012. Regret is a topic too big to cover in one little blog post. It’s too big to cover in two little blog posts. But we do what we can, right? When most people think about regret, I’d bet it’s not to re-hash the stupid things they’ve said, as I discussed in Truth and Regret. Why didn’t you major in accounting and stop moving around and marry a nice American boy? The realists ask, What about your job? Moving some...
