  • Daily Prompt #1

    What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

    What I like to do in my leisure time and what I wish I did in my leisure time are different. What I do is sit around and watch YouTube. It’s…a problem.

    What I wish I did in my leisure time is create. Make baskets, paint, weave, sew, or really any of the mediums I have materials for and want to explore more. Yet…still I sit.

    I even wish I worked on the house more than I do. I’m in a state of tearing things apart yet not putting them back together. I need to get rid of more stuff (van life, yo!). There are parts of my home that are dirty. Yet…still I sit.

    THIS however is accountability. Thank you, WordPress for the prompt of the day. I shall go forward and start actually doing the leisure things I wish I were doing rather than watch YouTube. #ereIgo

    And…just for the record…this entire thing was typed out whilst standing. YouTube is on in the background, yet….I’m not sitting. #ProgressNotPerfection

  • Another Snow Day in the Books: Reflecting on a Relaxing Day Off

    It’s the second snow day in a row, and I have to admit, I’m feeling pretty relaxed. After snow-blowing my driveway early this morning, I took a nap and then spent the rest of the day reading a book, enjoying leftovers, and just generally taking it easy.

    As a teacher, it’s not often that I get a chance to have a day like this. Usually, my days are filled with lesson planning, grading papers, and meeting with students and parents. But the snow has given me an unexpected break, and I made the most of it!

    I spent the morning snow-blowing my driveway, which is always a bit of a workout. But it’s also a nice opportunity to get outside, breathe some fresh air, and enjoy the beauty of the snow. Plus, it’s a great way to start the day.

    After I finished snow-blowing, I took a nap. It’s not something I get to do very often, but it was so nice to just lay down and rest for a bit. I felt refreshed and energized when I woke up, and it set the tone for the rest of the day.

    In the afternoon, I read a book. It’s called The Observatory Mansion, I just started it yesterday. I got lost in the story and it was a great way to relax and forget about the world for a little while.

    For dinner, I heated up some leftovers. Rice, broccoli, and a plant-based chicken patty in a bowl. I put some balsamic dressing and all the things spice blend – meh. It was nice to not have to worry about cooking or cleaning up a big mess. I was able to focus on my book and enjoy my dinner.

    Overall, it was a really relaxing and enjoyable day. I’m grateful for the snow day, second of the week after a personal day off for my MacBook delivery! As I head back to work tomorrow, I’ll be refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of the week. One day. I’ve got this.

  • Here We Go

    As I sit here in my van by the water, typing a blog entry, I can’t help but be struck by the irony of my life. I’m a middle-aged teacher, and while I love my job, I’m not satisfied with it. I want something more – something that will challenge me and give me the opportunity to explore the world while learning new skills.

    That’s why I’ve decided to start this blog. I’m ready to embark on a new journey, and I’m excited to share my experiences with you.

    My interest in cybersecurity and coding has grown significantly in recent years, and I’m eager to apply my knowledge to my travels. I’m also looking forward to learning about the cultures and customs of the places I visit, and sharing my adventures with my readers.

    I’m hopeful that this blog will provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts and feelings, and to share my experiences with others. I’m excited to explore the possibilities that my new computer will bring and the challenges I will face along the way.

    So, here’s to beginning a new adventure!
