Because Adulthood didn't come with a manual. I share videos at Midlife Adulting I create Zines. I also dabble in Low Content Publishing (LCP) - you ...
I've been coloring a LOT lately. Some of it is less than perfect. Some of it is closer to good. But all of it is fun. And I'm branching out. I've started creating single word search puzzles where the only letters used are the ones in the target word. Yes, they are as much fun as they sound. A B C D E F G H I J 1 W R E T A W W A W W 2 A R E T A W T A E A 3 T R W T W A T E R T 4 E A W A A E T E E E…
I have a Discord server just for me, and sometimes I drop lines in there and sometimes they're just complaints with no substance, and then sometimes... Sometimes you find a book that just sweeps you off your feet and you must keep reading because to stop reading would be to lose the magic of the words leaping off the page and directly into your brain. To stop reading would be to lose the…
What is the best time to go to the dentist? Yeah, I went there. I did not realize how much I touched my face at work until the left half of my jaw was swollen up like a squished baseball from an infection in a tooth. It started hurting last week on Tuesday or Wednesday, and by Thursday I had a dental appointment (my first in 11 years) for tomorrow. Oh my good gracious, I would like to crawl out of…

I went to see Mufasa with my youngest today. I rank it an 8 out of 10 (my child always asks for a rating) and managed not to cry (potentially a first for a Disney flick). I avoided the television, which was fantastic for my mental health, but then stumbled upon something that happened on said television on a social media app. They all make me feel icky. I thought about making a post on Bluesky,…
“Writing is the superpower of humankind. It is our truest form of magic. Writing allows you to conjure up something of value where nothing previously existed. It costs little for you to write down the lessons of your life and yet those few minutes spent writing can be life-altering for the right reader. As I once saw it put: “there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your…
Are those urges even a little related, I wonder? Because right now I feel like I either need to make something or buy something, and I can't tell which. So I create a blog post, and see if this scratches the itch. Might need to actually make another video (I'm quite poor at remembering to post my videos here like I thought I would be doing with each new video). I have cleaning to do, and putting…
I need to get accountable, and so I'm turning to YouTube. I have conflicted feelings, though, about announcing intentions to everyone because then it seems like I am the least likely to follow through when I've done so. With one small exception. I was working on 75 Hard recently. I made it through day 36, and then chose to quit. The only reason I hadn't quit earlier was because I had a cheerleader…
real estate and hair and video ideas - oh my! (plus all the books I’ve been reading) Happy Darn Wednesday! I just wanted to catch up a bit after my sick and talk about what's going on for me right now. It's a heck of a thing! If you're only here for budgeting, no problem. I'll do another video on that shortly. If you're up for about 10 minutes of chatter, though, you're in the right place! I even…
There was a sale going on for the real estate course I wanted to sign up for, but I let it slip out of reach. I can still get a discount, just not as steep. I can afford the course with the lesser discount, but perhaps it would be better to wait for the July 4th holiday to roll around. There's the likelihood of additional discounts at that time. But part of me wonders if this is a form of…
