I Completed A Career Skills Bootcamp
Nine months spent giving 100% and getting back more than I thought possible I was not having a good time in 2022. I was depressed, aimless, and miserable. I spent that year as a cashier at a smoke shop, trying to figure out how to turn things around. I couldn’t afford college.…

New Year’s Resolutions
My love/hate relationship with the tradition. It makes sense. New year, new goals, new plans. It also drives me just a little bit crazy. I feel like it’s a frustrating phenomenon, and primarily psychological. That said, I love to talk about my New Year’s resolutions. But there’s always a little…

Looking Back At My December Sales
This year, I sold six dozen macarons and sixty-five ornaments. This was way above my goal. Things got a little crazy, but I pulled it off. All of the ornaments were done on time. One order of cookies was late. All in all, I am accomplished. Here’s what I learned…

Rest Day
I slept about 10 hours last night. This is thoroughly crazy for me. Frankly, writing is the only thing I got done today. I’m accepting that for what it is. My day has gone like this: I did outdoor chores this morning. I took a nap on the couch. I…

Trying To Do Everything
Doesn’t usually end up well. Everything I have tried to do today has gone wrong. It has not been fun. I finally admitted defeat after seven hours of nothing working. I messed up an order four times. My laptop died when I tried to write. I decided to try to wrap Christmas presents…

Missing Things
I am going to be brief with this again. I do plan on writing more in-depth posts this week. As for right now: I overslept today. For the first time in my entire job history. I was 15 minutes late to work. I was pretty upset when I woke up.…
