Work and Play on my Holiday (Day 47)

Upon discovering this morning that my previous blog-post contained a heinous typo (where I somehow called Tom Hanks – Tom Cruise even though in my head the screen said Hanks) I decided to write today’s daily scribble in the morning for once. It seems my eyes and brain aren’t too reliable later on in the […]

Too Much Curry and Sleepless in Seattle (Day 46)

I’m so stuffed with curry and garlic naan, I’m torn between wanting to lie down and sleep and actually get sick. Note to self: don’t keep chewing on bread once you’ve finished a big meal. I’m having a week off from the restaurant, thank goodness.  It’s gotten so busy in there lately I felt like […]

One Lucky Girl (Day 45)

I’m a really lucky person.  There are many many reasons why that is true, but for this daily scribble I’m going to focus on just one. Today, after more than a week without any real exercize plus a lot of time spent sitting at a computer, I headed off up the nearby hill for a […]

Keep on Walking (preferably in Paris) (Day 44)

I’m writing this after three hours already on the computer going through website edits with my brother via Facebook messenger (he lives in Austria).  Staring at a computer screen for so long is both exhausting and stimulating. I walked away from the desk stooped and weary yet my mind feels tense and agitated; it doesn’t […]

Wish List/Gratitude List (Day 43)

I wish I lived in my own home and could wake early and have the house to myself while my husband slumbered peacefully on, making my morning tea in a silent kitchen and writing in my journal at the table. I am so grateful to have a warm, comfortable house to call home, with the […]

Oh I do love a good period, how about you? (Day 42)

Today was a lot better than yesterday.  Really, I could’ve gone through some genuinely harrowing events today and still have felt a lot better about life, so it’s not a big surprise. There were many small precious moments that soothed my soul; the big fluffy snowflakes floating silently through air as I stared out of […]

A Crappy Day (Day 41)

If ever there was a time when I didn’t feel like writing another daily scribble, this has to be it. Hand on heart, it’s been a fairly shitty day from start to finish; I could feel it from the moment I woke up that a drastic case of PMS was lurking in the shadows, waiting […]

We are Family…. Come on Everybody and Sing(Day 40)

Today it’s time to introduce just a few of the sweethearts I work with daily because frankly, they won’t stop pestering me to do it ever since I wrote about me and my clowns.  (If you don’t know these lovely people, some of the jokes may be lost for which I’m sorry.  This blog-post is […]

Daily Nerdy Scribbles (Day 39)

Today’s post is definitely going to be short and sweet – I’m pooped once again. It seems like I talk about being tired a lot lately but then again I’m a waitress in a busy restaurant… might have something to do with it. Plus I go to bed late after staring at computers, phone screens […]

Shorter Posts and my Special Indulgence (Day 38)

I realized something yesterday as I wrote my daily scribble; this daily blogging takes up a solid hour of my time and a lot of energy. Originally the project was meant to be something light and easy to improve my writing and see if I could make some progress at blogging by being more consistent. […]
