We’re going to plant green beans, tomatillos, peppers, and cilantro along with some flowers to brighten up things a bit. Taking it a bit easier this year than last year when we had way too much going on. We’ll see what can survive the wrath of the groundhogs!

Awesome! You got this! Self employment is so amazing and difficult but mostly amazing. Just fake it until you make it. That helped me a lot the first couple of years when I was feeling insecure.

I cleared out a lot of weeds and branches from the backyard to get ready for gardening in May. I think it will be an achievement if I can move tomorrow!

Congrats on your new venture!

I have a 16 page paper due tomorrow night at midnight. I have one page. Going bets on whether or not I finish it?

I started online dating and had my first date and it went well! After a lot of deadend relationships and being single for a while, it feels great to get out there and meet people.

I shovelled the snow off the pavement in front of the building I live in, from the corner to the pub. That shamed the pub into clearing the stretch in front of that building. Sadly no other bugger on the street has bothered.

I’ve almost made it through a dog sitting gig in the filthiest house - which can be a big stumbling block for a halfway-germaphobe like me - and I lost a bit of weight before that - though what I ate yesterday and the day before have probably caused me to maybe put a bit back on.

I only broke my Lenten vow to not snarl/flip off customers a couple times this week! I also haven’t eaten any pizza at work or gone to the store for snacks for my shift (also parts of it.)

We filed two years of back tax returns. Mr B and I both had multiple surgeries with long recoveries over the last five years, as well as an unexpected move in the middle, and a lot of stuff got stuck in boxes for later. Well, it’s later, so we took some time off while we’re both healthy enough to finally get through…

I think....after a very long time looking....I finally got a new job. I mean, they offered it to me, they said I was their top candidate, and all that good stuff. I’m just anxiously awaiting to go through all the hoops of paperwork and background checks, which are all underway. I don’t have anything for them to find,…

I did a good job at work this week, and told the person for whom I work that he did something this week that made me really proud of him.

I went on a hike today!

Thanks! I have enough DEET in my house to end Zika but super useful for where I’m going. I will look like an uber tourist but I won’t get scorched by the sun or abducted by mosquitoes, so everything else will be great!

I made the decision to not have a VBAC even though everyone was telling me I should and I didn’t cave and I stuck to my guns and I never do that. So yay me. I *almost* had a panic attack over the obstetrician appointment. Right on the edge. But I did it and I went home and had tea and everything is fine.

I am going on an adventure for spring break next week and I ordered all the supplies I needed and they have been coming in on time and I’m feeling good about going outside my comfort zone because at least I’m prepared

Yay! Best wishes on the job search.

Excellent job! This week, I uploaded all of the readings for the classes my boss teaches (except two, both of which list a book and say “selections” in the syllabus—homeboy hasn’t responded to my requests for clarification). I also worked out for an hour today!

One month after giving birth I was still on the gigantic maternity pads for postpartum bleeding/lochia. #theglamorouslife.

What would it take to never hear about the Kartashians and their friends and their offspring and their boyfriends and their husbands and their makeup and hair people, ever again? For real, a natural disaster? I think a natural disaster, because they’re so shameless that nothing in their ‘personal’ lives could ever be…
