New Year’s Resolutions: 3. Finances
Okay, so this is a BIG one for me/us as 2016 was a massive financial struggle once I gave up work and the benefit of paid housing. Little did I know what a huge challenge it was going to be to work out housing on our limited income. Now, I am not saying that we/I…

New Year’s Resolutions: 2. Work
My next focus for my NYRs is Work. Work is something that the majority of people do for most of their lives and sadly for a lot of people is also an activity that most do not like – yet they continue out of necessity or lack of options (known or unknown). Luckily for me,…

New Year’s Resolutions: 1. Health
As promised, here I am with my NYRs for 2017. I am starting with Health because it tends to be the easiest resolution for us to make, break and focus upon. In general, we are fairly healthy. I keep active, exercise pretty regularly and we eat a decent Paleo-ish diet. Still, it is easy to…

Back To It
The winter holidays are over, so life is on its way back to ‘normal’ again. I had not realized that it had been nearly three weeks that M was off, so this morning when he had to leave early I was a little bit surprised. It also meant that we missed our morning gym time…

Podcast Fav 1: Serial
Just before the end of last year (yes just a few days ago), I made a list of my recent interest in podcasts. While I do have some other topics to write on, I am saving them up for my focus next week…yep, I am getting a handle on planning my posts, even for here…

2017 At Last!!!
Happy New Year! Well, 2016 is finally at an end. I already recapped that yesterday, so no need to go there again. We spent yesterday at the beach mostly and then decided to have a nice quiet evening in since neither of us really care about ringing in the new year with a crowd. So…

New Year’s Eve 2016
At last the year is coming to a close. It has been an interesting one to say the least. I have been enjoying some of the Facebook videos about how 2016 has really been a dark year for the world and many people. It is nice to know that it was not just us who…
