I had intended to go for a hike this weekend, probably taking Thorin with me (he has a cat backpack). I was actually looking forward to taking him to like Snoqualmie Falls or someplace similar. Unfortunately, my body decided to have other plans. I’ve done something to my left hip and the muscles/tendons/whatever that connect […]
Read MoreHello everyone! I know I’ve had to write several of these kind of “hiatus” apologies over the last 2 years. I wanted to give kind of a peek behind the curtain so to say, and explain why I’ve kept disappearing and being so sporadic. I know I’m technically only accountable for myself for writing this […]
Read MoreI apologize for the lack of posts over the last month. I had been doing really well, all things considered, with quarantine. However, about 3ish weeks ago, I kind of hit the wall so to say. It just kind of hit me all at once the quarantine, social isolation, and just generally being overwhelmed. My […]
Read MoreWell, this year did not start out how I was thinking it would. I had plans to start off the year all happy, optimistic and joyful. Like, 2021 is a brand new year, it won’t be like 2020…. But then, well, within the first few days, the whole thing went straight to hell. So yeah, […]
Read MoreI’m currently trending towards a major uptick in a hypomanic state (yay for being Bipolar II–heavy on the sarcasm here). Which means that currently I’m super hyper-irritable and sensitive. I’m trying so hard not to be a major bitch to everyone around me, because gods know nothing they’re doing is their fault that it’s pissing […]
Read MoreAs it says: 82 days and counting. I’m on day 82 of “work from home” orders from my company, which preceded the Washington State Stay Home orders by a little bit. And thankfully, my company is in no hurry to force those of us who are not on-site essential back into the office site. I’m […]
Read MoreI’ve mentioned before how I hate New Year’s Resolutions, because inevitably I fail at them. And I just think that a resolution is too easy to break when you get busy, life gets in the way, etc. I have things I need to do, things I need to accomplish. But resolutions are not the way […]
Read MoreHi everyone! Not dead, not remotely. I promise. It’s just been a busy 2 months and I had to take some time off for my own mental health and to just re-center and regain my footings for myself. Things just took me quite a bit longer than I was expecting they would to get things […]

The last three weeks have been miserably hot and terrible. Like I posted, just awful and full of heat and my musing about my health being adversely affected by the ungodly heat. I know that compared to parts of the US where the temperatures were above 100° and the humidity was higher (the South), the […]

Yesterday I talked about superstitions. There are some superstitions in Eastern Europe about Lady Midday (Polednice or Poludnica). She’s a pretty, younger-looking spirit or noon demon that comes along at noon time around people working in the fields who causes heat stroke or madness. So what happens: she stops workers and asks them a question, […]
