Share five things you're good at. Let's see... five things I'm good at are taking on too much, putting myself last, being annoyed, worrying, and getting my feelings hurt. Some would say "meddling" should be #1 on this list (sorry, not sorry, Alaina). But, in line with my daily affirmation of "choosing to focus on …
I'm going to skip past today's daily prompt in lieu of a little story. Today's question was something along the lines of "what is the most expensive personal item you have ever bought for yourself". Um, my Samsung Galaxy Watch 4? There. Daily Prompt answered. On with the story... Yesterday, I picked up a bunch …
What is your favorite form of physical exercise? I used to be able to run like a deer. Long runs were my contemplation time. It was when I worked out solutions to problems in my life. When I shoved in my ear buds, cranked the tunes, and ran as far as my thoughts and legs …
What food would you say is your specialty? I had to poll the family in order to answer this daily prompt. I make some life-altering potstickers. I've perfected a Minestrone Soup recipe that was handed down. Everyone always seems to love my Chickpea Paprikash. I've nailed down my Vegan Cheese Sauce. Around the holidays, I …

What are your daily habits? Ah, this is a fun one for me, as I am habitual by nature! This list is not all encompassing. You would be reading for days if it was! Here are a few of my daily highlights: Hot lemon-salt water first thing in the morning to alkalize and kick start …

One my most "comforting" routines was to clock off work and pour a glass of wine. My excuse was that this glass of wine was to decompress, to celebrate, to soothe. Looking back, …
Two weeks after being diagnosed with a severe allergic response to limonene and fragrance mix II, my allergist added "propolis" to the list after a delayed response marker appeared on my back. Shit. Propolis is resin collected by honeybees used to fill crevices and to seal honeycombs. Fucking bee glue. Confused on why I would …
I had to work late tonight, our kitchen is a construction zone due to new countertops being installed, and I just didn't feel like making an effort.
