Travel… Near and Far
I love to go on trips. I’ll travel to places under an hour away, or take longer trips requiring some planning and flights. What’s interesting though is how a trip to the same place can feel vastly different on a separate occasion. For example: A trip to a beach destination out of the country completely…

Life Changer
One life-changing tip: Small amounts add up. Whether that’s writing, studying, doing yoga, saving money, eating a little healthier, or going for a walk. Five minutes walking is better than none. One carrot stick is better than none! Five dollars saved is better than none. I used this tip a lot during nursing school. I’d…

Dream Big
I had a dream about stickers the other night. This was a step in the right direction, as I’ve had way too many dreams about work lately, and they’re never good. One time I was giving people infusions in a big open grassy field, on a hill. In the dark. Usually I don’t remember my…

Old-school Typewriters
Clunky. Heavy. CHONKY. With ink-laden ribbons. Ah, the memories. My mom probably still has it. Collecting dust in a cobweb corner of her basement. Her old typewriter. Not the electric one (although they hold their own magical, whirring, nostalgic powers). Older still. That typewriter that felt like it weighed 100 pounds. Outdated? Yes. Do I…

Sequels…
I would love a sequel to Wormwood. I mean Woodworm. Or, perhaps, a prequel? Maybe both! I keep wanting to call the book wormwood. I used to have a lot of wormwood plants in my yard. It was a very pretty plant: Woodworm by Layla Martinez was one of my favorite reads so far this…

5000+
I love tracking my steps. Imagine my disappointment when, earlier this year, I couldn’t seem to use my fitbit anymore with my android. I have had a handful of trackers over the years, some old-school, a few fitbits, and one generic watch/step tracker that lasted a couple months. I finally got a garmin earlier this…

Unhappy Endings
I have been on a horror book binge this summer (well, this year in general). Most recently, I read Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. Written in 1967, the book takes place on Valentine’s Day in the year 1900 at a girl’s boarding school in Australia. A group of girls venture out- supervised, of…

Winding Down and the Weekend (or, Time to Go to the Flea Market)
It’s almost the end of another busy work week. One where things go as originally planned (on this end anyway!), but still seem to be working out all the same. Nurses seem to always be in short supply and this week was no exception. Still- the week is almost over. It’s time to start thinking…

Minimal
I have this idea in my head of what minimalism looks like…and I’m not 100% certain but I think if I believed in minimalism I would have a lot less stuff. If I believed in minimalism, would I have so many books? Would I have a counter full of oranges and a container of cookies…
