Wildlife Encounters In The Middle Of The Night
This morning, I walked outside with my flashlight on. It was about 3:45 a.m. I shined the flashlight towards my car. A pair of eyes lit up. This terrified me for three seconds before I realized what I was looking at. I was holding eye contact with one of the least deadly…

Etsy Sales
I listed my ornaments on Etsy. In the past three days, I have gotten three orders. It has been interesting to watch the views increase. Seeing the little statistics that say my views are up 1700% is definitely satisfying. I am glad that I did it. On a different note,…

What I Learned Playing Chess For A Year
“Play Chess.” That was it. The only assignment that day. Ah, the minutiae of homeschooling. There were these occasional days where my mom didn’t plan for us to do any traditional schoolwork. On these days, we ended up with gems like this. “So… we just… play chess today?” Asked my…

Short And Sweet
I like to bite off more than I can chew. Big challenges are fun. They keep me busy. I’d rather be focused than aimless. Stressed than bored. Tired than jittery. It’s a matter of preference. A personal opinion. I tend to spiral if I don’t have anything to do. So,…

One Month Of Really Hard Work

I Could Eat This Food Every Day
One of the most versatile foods in the kitchen is a surprisingly boring breakfast staple. Oatmeal is my favorite food. I’m not joking. People think I’m joking. I have some food sensitivities. There have been weeks where oatmeal was the only thing I could eat. Nothing makes you get creative with food…

Sleepless Nights
Insomnia and early wake-up time. I don’t think I have ever slept in a day in my life. I almost always wake up by 6:00, and I have little say in the matter. This is unfortunate when I have a hard time getting to sleep. Regardless of my bedtime, the…

Ten Minutes In Freezing Water
Or the ice plunge that changed my health forever. I may have almost given myself hypothermia when I was in high school. I am not kidding. Here’s how it happened. I have a tendency towards “anger issues.” When I get mad, it tends to be a physical thing. “Seeing red” is literal.…
