My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Don’t let the cute image fool you. It was a weekend of labor and not necessarily a labor of love. Part of our nesting activities has been planning what kind of wardrobe situation would work best for us as our current one is included in the ensuite bathroom. Since we are planning on remodeling the bathroom to a more open and spa-like relaxing space, we had to figure out alternative options for the…

  • Another week almost finished and it’s had some bumps, but overall I have no reason to complain – though I do. 😬 (I know…). First, an update on Motion from last post. I decided to give it a try for the year. There are a few kinks that I don’t love about it, but they seem to be updating the program regularly. So, I’ll keep going on it and probably send them suggestions…

  • It’s a pretty well-known fact about me, if you know me even a little, that I love a schedule. Routines are my safety net when the world – at least my world – feels out of control. It is a coping mechanism that I developed before I even knew of such concepts. Luckily, it is one that has rewards; thus, providing me with positive feedback to keep on doing it. Throughout my life,…

  • For the first time since Monday, I am sitting here with an intention to get some writing done even if it is just this post that gets finished. 💪🏽 There is something to be said for regular work hours at an office rather than at home. Not that I want to return to that way of life, but there is something to be said for the regularity of the routine and pattern which…

  • Well, it is exactly halfway through the first month of the year and I feel good still about the last bit of last year along with the start of this one, so far. Unlike some years, I do not feel a sense of starting slow or that I need to rush forward. In a way, I feel for once I am perfectly placed and in the prime state of life on every aspect…

  • Well, it’s already been nearly a week since returning home – how the time flies. Somehow, or not really a mystery, I seem to have caught a cold. Just when I was nearly better from catching whatever it was during holidays. So, I am hoping it doesn’t linger long but it has put a little kibosh on my exercise progress…. On the plus side, though, I have already dropped about 2 kg or…

  • Home after about 26 hours of travel door to door. No complaints here – it was just a long day. It’s good to be home with the animals and our things. Now, it’s all about catching up on laundry, reorganizing after having house/petsitters, and settling back into the routine. Anyway, got some things brewing that I will attempt to organize into comprehensible words and thoughts once I have a couple more days to…

  • Well, it’s hard to believe it, but we are just over 24 hours away from the end of our month-long holiday away. Our reasoning for taking time away was initially to escape the winter rains and greys that we had experienced the previous couple of years in Orvieto. Ironically, this year had a rather late summer; thus, resulting in a rather warm, sunny, and gentle winter – so far. Instead, we experienced rain…

  • It was a beautiful start to 2024 and we are looking forward to how the year unfolds after having a rather amazing 2023! We’ve started our goal-writing as a couple and are working on our individual ones, though I had already started mine back in September, but as with all things they change. So, I’m narrowing down a bit more on some things and letting others go. Since we are still on vacation…

  • Sometimes unexpected changes in plans brings about an even better experience than the one anticipated. Although we would have had a lovely time spending the holidays with my parents in the Bahamas, we would have missed out on family time with my brother, catching up with a few family and friends, and enjoying just a quiet chilled time. The past ten days have really flown by without any tension or stress that can…
