It’s been a few months…. My site was down for a few reasons, but it’s back and I’m ready to rebuild my posting habit again. 😉 Aren’t you all relieved?! More to come soon! ~T 😀

Golden Week 2018
It’s the end of “Golden Week”, which is a bit of a misnomer because you don’t actually get the whole week off unless you take the two days in the middle of the week as vacation. However, it has been nice to have a bit of a break from the usual routine. We started the ‘week’…

My Choice, My Life
There is a delicate balance between just enough angst to stimulate creativity and maintaining the joy of contentment. When I think that I have achieved this balance, there is a sense of wariness and unease as to when it might all go off the rocker. I blame this on PTSD rather than skepticism or pessimism.…

Stopping Spring Fever…
Last week when I missed my intended train stop for the second time in as many days, and then this week having nearly left my phone behind twice, I decided that perhaps my brain is in need of a bit of a break. Generally, I am on top of things even when I am trying…

Those Little Surprises
It’s only the second day of the month and I found myself already worrying about the rest of the month. As I found myself with an unexpected early finish today and plans for a night out later, so no reason to go home, I decided to reset myself. First, it was a lovely opportunity to…
