My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • It’s been a very busy start to the fall and new academic year. One of the reasons is because the major government higher education institutions were required to implement the use of iPads. This came about at the end of the last academic year, but the fun really began when we came back for this year. Since work began in early September, I have been deeply involved in faculty training and also attending…

  • I thought it might be good to start off with a post on my “ups and downs” as it has been a while since I wrote anything about it. By the way, this is what I call my ‘bipolar’ tendencies. My therapist and I have agreed that I definitely have a pattern and whether or not we put a label on it doesn’t really matter – so I prefer this term for now.…

  • To start off fresh, I decided that the site needed a bit lightening up as the black was starting to feel a bit too dark. While I like the artsy look it gives my photos, I felt a little change wouldn’t hurt anybody. 😀 It’s been a busy time, but things are starting to fall into place (get it? fall…haha). So, upcoming posts will include: *restarting my container garden *adventures in the kitchen…

  • Well, it’s only a day away from October and I see that I managed one day of blogging in the entire month. That should tell you what my month has been like… This weekend has been the first one that I have felt was like a real weekend and it is passing all too quickly with still a number of things to do… So, with that, I bid adieu until October, when I…

  • It’s been ages! I’m still alive, but been busy…. Not sure when I’ll come up for air to write regularly again, but will return eventually…. That’s all for now! -T 😀

  • _Wrecked:  When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life_ by Jeff Goins I cannot seem to pass up 99cent books. Plus, following Jeff Goins on Twitter and Facebook makes it harder to ignore opportunities to read books on sale. It’s a great marketing scheme for him and a bonus for readers like me. 😉 A short two-day read, this is an inspirational, motivational Christian-based book that encourages us to step beyond ourselves…

  • _Eon_ by Greg Bear I haven’t had as much time to read as I did early on in the holiday, but I still have been spending time each day with a book. When I was getting low on things to read, I put out a call on Facebook and got some recommendations of different novels. One of them was this one. _Eon_ is a 1991 science-fiction novel that is rather complex to follow…

  • Time is flying by ever so quickly and quite sadly…. The good news is that I submitted the first chapter of my dissertation a day ahead of schedule. It was probably the longest academic piece of writing I have ever done and to think that it’s only part of the entire project at 47 pages in totality. I’m not saying it’s up to scratch for quality, but at least it’s the first milestone…

  • Well, I’m on 21 pages out of the goal of 35 and just another 7 days left to go. If I maintain my 2 pages a day pattern, it should be no problem. Although I should probably do a bit more each day so that I can have some more flexibility, but we’ll see. For now, I’m just happy when the two pages come out! Anyway…we’ve been enjoying our days still and still…

  • OMG! 20 days left…?????  😀 I know I’m spoiled…It’s not like I’ve already been off for 20+ days, but still we’re almost down to the teens and that makes me sad…. As I start to contemplate a teeeeeennnny tiiiiiny bit about work, I have to really create some clear goals about my focus this next year. *Do NOT let others stress me out! *Focus on my classes and do the minimal amount of…
