My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • [shashin type=”photo” id=”6353″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Something I hardly notice having lived in a warm climate for nearly four years is the changing of seasons. For me, the seasonal change includes allergies and a reduction in the A/C temperature. Sometimes, it might even mean opening a door to let some cool air come in, but not too long or else the dust starts to settle inside. So, last week, I was able…

  • Just as I’m starting to get into the flow of things, I’m about to head off to a conference. It is for work, but includes a great deal of planned leisure. Details will come upon my return. 😀 Until then, -T

  • One of the reasons I moved to this region was the draw of a higher salary and better financial perks. After getting divorced and not so equally settling our debt situation, I was burdened with a great deal of red numbers to consider. The idea of having my housing paid for, a round-trip flight home given to me and a rather significant pay increase were all music to my ears. Almost four years…

  • Lately I’ve been a bit bored running on the treadmill. I’ve started doing the random incline, which makes it a bit more challenging, but overall I’m getting a little tired of the walls of our gym. Since I’m too cheap at the moment to pay for a gym membership elsewhere, I thought I would see about running around in the neighborhood. Last weekend, R and I drove around the neighborhood across the street…

  • A few weeks ago one of my friends was having a lot of allergy issues due to the air conditioner and changing seasons. I’m always having issues with the dust that builds up in our apartment. Sometimes I have to take allergy meds just to sleep peacefully. Well, my friend went to the doctor and was told to get an air purifier. After seeing its effects I got two using a Carrefour deal.…

  • Okay, it is not exactly hell and it should be looked at as earning my very long summer holidays and the numerous other days I get off in the year. However, it doesn’t mean that my work is easy! This week has been crazed, but it must all be taken in stride. Still, it’s another day closer to the weekend!!! 😀 -T

  • One thing about not being able to sleep in late is that it gives me more time in the mornings to get things done in peace. Lately, I’ve been considering boundaries. First, I feel as if I do not set my boundaries strongly enough that they are respected. For example, when I have a lot of work to do and someone wants to do something else with me – whether it’s to watch…

  • I keep thinking that one of these days I’ll catch up and be on top of everything again. So far that doesn’t seem to be happening. My goal over the next weekend and week is to sort myself out so that I’m not working every moment or waking up at the wee hours of the morning thinking about it. This has just not been a good start to the year for a number…

  • Just thought I’d give an update on my starts. The pics are from two weeks ago and I need to take new ones, but have to replant some seedlings first. Maybe next weekend…. In the meantime: [shashin type=”photo” id=”6259,6260,6261,6262,6263,6264,6265″ size=”small” columns=”3″ order=”user” position=”center”]

  • I’ve always thought fighting was a waste of time. It’s generally a time when people are trying to convince someone else of their point of view when that person doesn’t want to hear it. It’s sort of like having a conversation with a wall or trying to talk to someone through a door. There’s no way that what truly needs to be understood will be heard or even considered. In one of my…
