If you’d read Last Week’s Post, (Thanks!) you’ll know that I intended to make this July a month of introspection and rest. Well here we are after one full week and let me tell you what I’ve learned so far. First, I was so focused on the idea of “Rest” that I hadn’t really defined …
There are two times of the year when I get really introspective. I mean the mood can come on at any time really, but those two times of the year really flip that switch. The first is the New Year. For me, it’s natural to look back and reflect, and also to look forward and …
This will be the final Sunday Blog Post for the month. There’s still a Five-Thing Thursday coming before the calendar clicks over. And, as you might have gleaned from the title, June has been…a bit more intense than most of the other months this year. I won’t get into details, but let’s just say that …
While today is not quite the last day of Balticon 2023, it is going to be the last day for me and I’ve got a few thoughts about that. First, if everything goes to plan, this post will be going live earlier in the day. As such, I’d be remiss if I didn’t include my …
Last week, particularly toward the tail-end of last week, I suffered an Eating the Elephant moment. I had so much to do, with varying deadlines and I wasn’t getting any of it done. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do it – in fact, I did want to do it – I just couldn’t …
Let me clear a thing or two up from the get go. This isn’t an announcement post – though it does remind me that I’ve got some some things coming up that’ll require me to update the site and do some other admin things. Which is a perfect segue to the actual post. I’ve been …
If you’re a follower of this blog, you might have an inkling of what this post is going to be about from the title – and you’d be wrong this time. Oh, it’s true enough that, more often than not, I fail to get any of these posts composed ahead of time. This week was …
I struggle with eating elephants sometimes. It’s not due to any kind of elephant shortage. During any given day, or any given week, I’ve got several elephants on my plate. Some are recurring elephants – like this and other Blog posts. Other elephants are of the One-and-Done variety. Some elephants are quite large, and some …
What do you want to do today? If I’d really been on my planning game, I’d have had this post done ahead of time and scheduled to go live at Midnight, so you’d have the entire 24 hours. Instead, here we are, nearly half-way through the day. But that’s ok. I’ve not been idle – …
There are times when it might not look like it, but I am all about being organized. I love me a good list. Everything has a place, and that’s where it goes, without fail. I like to find a way to do a certain task and when I’ve got something workable, that’s how I do …
