Hey, y'all! I thought it would be fun to make a "day in the life" post for Summer 2021. Later this year, when I'm headlong into college, I might make a similar post to see how my schedule has changed, if at all. These kinds of posts are always fun to look back on. ^_^ … Continue reading A summer day in the life

Meet Margot! (+ an Etsy update, Goodreads & other random things)
Back in March, we lost our beloved pet Scottie of twelve years, Bella, to lymphoma. It was a heartbreaking journey that culminated in a miserable trip to the vet to have her put down. And while we still had our two cats and three birds to keep us company, for the past few months there's … Continue reading Meet Margot! (+ an Etsy update, Goodreads & other random things)

2021 birthday Q&A + June Socratic circle
Hey, everyone! Happy June to you all. I hope y'all are enjoying your summer so far! For as long as I can remember, my mom has had me fill out a Q&A on my birthday (which was a couple days ago).

Poem | The Melody of Me (Chatham’s song)
Before you read the poem, here's a bit of backstory: The Melody of Me (Chatham's Song) started out as an experiment to see how far I could take end rhyme while still composing a fairly comprehensive poem. However, it wasn't until it was completed that I realized the message of the poem is very much … Continue reading Poem | The Melody of Me (Chatham’s song)
Illa in memoriam
This past week, we lost our beloved Scottish terrier, Bella, to skin cancer. She had been suffering from itchy skin and painful boils for several months, and, after consulting with our vet and praying over the situation, we made the heartbreaking decision to put her down. I'll never forget adopting our sweet puppy from a … Continue reading Illa in memoriam
WandaVision, Enola Holmes + a Texas snowpocalypse
Hey, y'all! I feel like rambling, so I'm going to ramble. What about? Well, the main three things I wanna talk about are two new fandoms I've become a part of, and that Texas got snow. You read that right. Snow. But *waves hand dismissively* more on that later. *slaps table* Let's talk about WandaVision, … Continue reading WandaVision, Enola Holmes + a Texas snowpocalypse
Frozen lakes, tiny snowmen + cheap burgers | Illinois 2021
Hey, y'all! Sorry it's been a while since the last time I posted. We've been busy—namely, getting ready to take a quick weekend trip up to Barrington, Illinois, to visit our grandparents and cousins. It was a great trip, except for that I came down with a cold in the middle of it. "Oh my … Continue reading Frozen lakes, tiny snowmen + cheap burgers | Illinois 2021
Looking back and looking forward
For various reasons—some common and some more personal—2020 has felt both swift and slow in passing. It was definitely a different year, with new experiences and new challenges. But everywhere I turn, I see a hatred for this past year that shocks me. "I can't wait for 2020 to be over." "This has been the … Continue reading Looking back and looking forward
San Antonio, November 2020
We got away last weekend! Finally! Ugh, man, I really needed that vacation, let me tell you. It'd been I don't even know how long since we'd taken a real road trip. We've been to San Antonio many times, and usually our drives there revolve around a specific purpose or destination. Not so with this … Continue reading San Antonio, November 2020
