While my Cutie’s visit was just me yesterday, I still made the most of my Sunday afternoon. The snow didn’t keep me from going to downtown Greensburg, as it was mostly gone by the time I woke up. I wasn’t able to meet up with friends, but that meant the opportunity was there to brainstormContinue reading “Retail Therapy Coming Soon!”

My Visit to the Westmoreland Sleep Center!
On Thursday, I had an appointment at the Westmoreland Sleep Center. I was referred to them by the kidney doctor whom I visited the week prior. It was a quick visit and I learned a lot from the doctor there. My appointment was at 3pm. As I usually do, I arrive early, and was ableContinue reading “My Visit to the Westmoreland Sleep Center!”
Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!
It felt good to drive down to Connellsville on Tuesday night for my Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting. It felt even better telling myself that I’m all in after a January slump. Whether or not I honor that remains to be seen. Meeting online is nice but it has its setbacks. I can’t tell you howContinue reading “Wearing our Hearts on our Sleeves at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters!”
Mental Health Series: The Past
In today’s blog, I discuss snow, mental health, and the past. If you were lucky enough to stay home today, chances are you got to stay inside and enjoy the snow. Or, you were outside shoveling it. In my dad’s case, he was using the snowblower. Please take your time if you’re removing snow asContinue reading “Mental Health Series: The Past”
Navigating Chaotic Holidays with Autism
Today I listened to an interesting episode of “The L Podcast.” The podcast (hosted by a Toastmaster from Central PA) talked about to handle the holidays. It’s supposed to be a magic time, the most wonderful time of year. But for those who are neurodivergent, this time of year can be chaotic and stressful. BeingContinue reading “Navigating Chaotic Holidays with Autism”
Bridge Between Two Eras!
November four years ago was a huge transition period in my life. The company I had worked for had officially merged with its competitor. I learned of the changes in June of that year. The changes that were made were not going to be in my best interest. I tried to embrace the change, butContinue reading “Bridge Between Two Eras!”
Is It Fall Yet?
Tuesday night at our Laurel Highlands Toastmasters meeting, our word of the day was “sabbatical”. The meaning of the word is a rest or break from work; “an extended period of time intentionally spent on something that’s not your routine job.” I learned of the word when I was in school, as teachers would sometimesContinue reading “Is It Fall Yet?”
Driving Up the Mountain: 25 Years Later!
It’s hard to believe, but later this month will be 25 years since we packed up my things and checked me into my dorm room at the Hiram G. Andrews Center in Westmont, just outside of Johnstown. That weekend was a changing of the guard as I would be away from my home for theContinue reading “Driving Up the Mountain: 25 Years Later!”
Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said
Later this week begins the rewatch for two iconic shows that got most people through the pandemic and the events of 2020. Gilmore Girls got me through part of that crazy time as I started it before COVID-19 even made the news. Knowing what that a pandemic was coming and we’d be staying safe atContinue reading “Where You Lead I Will Follow, That’s What She Said”
Mental Health Deja Vu?
This April started out the same as the last one. Wet and the rivers look as if they’re going to flood again. This weekend once again brings the chance for heavy rain and thunderstorms and that will be followed by snow chances early in the week, though it won’t be much. Temperatures are looking likeContinue reading “Mental Health Deja Vu?”
