All I’ve ever tried to do is bring goodness into the world. Must I be punished for that?

The ugly of this world came to speak with me

It extolled a hefty price and derailed my plans for the end of 2024

Credit card compromised November 18, 2024 12:34 pm

Ah! Nothing begins a Monday quite like fraudulent charges and canceling the credit card with the number you really liked that happened to have every subscription and recurring charges attached to it. This will be a good way to cancel some unnecessary subscriptions.

Held a conversation with a non-English speaking new friend. My español is terrible but getting better thanks to Duolingo and trying to have real conversations. Sometimes, you have to put yourself out there to grow.

Be prepared! November 1, 2024 11:10 am

The dream: I’m prepared and can feed my family for two weeks or months without leaving the house

The reality: I’m skipping lunch because there is no sliced sandwich meat, no jelly, no peanut butter, and my bread is in the form of expired bread flour and dead yeast

Ps. But I do have candy bars since we had zero trick or treaters
