Judy and Nick get Wild at the Zoo

I’m a month behind my own schedule due to vacations, missing luggage, a totaled vehicle and a lot of anxiety and depression, but last month Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde went to the zoo to visit some of their friends! I didn’t want to sloths to beat me in getting the photos posted, and Judy’sContinue reading “Judy and Nick get Wild at the Zoo”

Refresh and Reframe

I’m not quitting. It took some self-reflection, counseling, crying and some kind words and some “We’re going to the zoo [next month], you have no choice!” words from caring friends, but I’m not giving up on the blog. My counselor made a good point to me (notably the week after I made the goals forContinue reading “Refresh and Reframe”

Not So Practically Perfect Proceedings

My Mary Poppins’ plans aren’t going the way I want. I thought if I pretended like she was an actual presence in the house it would help motivate me more – who wants a nanny breathing down her neck, and a magical one at that? I thought if I extended the time limit, I wouldn’tContinue reading “Not So Practically Perfect Proceedings”

Mary Poppins: Quotes and Goals

Here are some of my favorite Mary Poppins’ quotes from the movie (sorry for repeat photos): Goals Mary Poppins and I have Created for Me: Tidy Up the Bedroom (see photo above). When Mary Poppins sees Jane and Michael’s nursey for the first time, Jane says, “I’m afraid the nursery isn’t very tidy.” Mary PoppinsContinue reading “Mary Poppins: Quotes and Goals”

Mary Poppins Arrives

Mary Poppins has arrived! I was a little concerned she wouldn’t come (she normally doesn’t “nanny” adults), but she has made an exception just for me! I showed her around and let her unpack. Mary Poppins is ready to help me this month – please stay tuned for goals and more photos throughout the month!Continue reading “Mary Poppins Arrives”

Mary Poppins, Please

I can’t believe we’re already a quarter into a quarter of 2022. I can’t believe it’s taken me SO long to get back into my blog! Last year I was at a low. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my blog, it didn’t interest me and it even felt a little dumb.Continue reading “Mary Poppins, Please”

COVID Current

The East wind is taking a little detour and instead of starting up my blog this month like wanted, I caught a little COVID. I want to give myself time to rest and recover, as well as give proper time to my blog, so I plan I’ll start in March instead. Which is slightly dangerousContinue reading “COVID Current”

Brewin’ and ‘Bout to Begin

Winds in the east, mist coming in. Like somethin’ is brewin’ and ’bout to begin. Can’t put me finger on what lies in store, But I feel what’s to happen all happened before.” Not to be too vague – but I have actual plans for February (did I give enough hints as to who isContinue reading “Brewin’ and ‘Bout to Begin”

A Little Update

If you follow my blog you may have noticed my absence the past month. What happened? My attempts to be enthusiastic dwindled and died as the month of October progressed, and I suddenly was overwhelmed with depression, anxiety, panic and paranoia. I can’t pinpoint what sparked this episode. Did it creep up on me andContinue reading “A Little Update”
