My Plans Were Altered This Week!

This week brought with it a change of plans from what I wanted to accomplish. Sure, the day after Easter was good. A little chilly after that warm Saturday when I was sweating it out at the country club during the baby shower. Some of us saw snowflakes Monday and even into Tuesday (well awayContinue reading “My Plans Were Altered This Week!”

A Well-Balanced Week of Activities!

The first full week of Spring will be keeping me busy, as I have a lot on my plate. I have a lot of needs, and some wants as well. I should be able to satisfy all of my requirements. The key this week is to mix business with pleasure. I have to make someContinue reading “A Well-Balanced Week of Activities!”

#GoodNews coming to the Socials!

In 2020, when everything shut down due to the pandemic, I made it a habit to support local businesses in the area. I did this in person, and through Instagram and Facebook. Like everyone else, my way of life had been interrupted. I was getting used to things like social distancing and having to wearContinue reading “#GoodNews coming to the Socials!”

Blog 911: Taking Care of Yourself

March 30, 2021, started out like any normal day. I went to work (I was still at my old job and was working locally that morning). I would have a doctor’s appointment that afternoon as I was looking to get a referral for a dermatologist. Fun fact: It was my first trip to the doctorContinue reading “Blog 911: Taking Care of Yourself”

Retail Therapy Coming Soon!

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!”
