Holding Grudges

At this time last weekend, I was on a plane. I was going to Florida for the first time in seven (7) years to be with family. And, I knew that I was walking into a lion’s den. Being the only (to my knowledge) disabled person since birth in my family means I’m treated differently.Continue reading “Holding Grudges”

Off On Another Adventure

I was just getting into my routine. Last week was the last of my 10 hour shifts. Yesterday was the beginning of my new self designed schedule. I am so happy that I said what I wanted and actually got it. I have worked out for the last 2 days. And, I have plans forContinue reading “Off On Another Adventure”

Home Again

We arrived home early this afternoon. I took the day off of work to recover. Our car is cleared out and (mostly) clean of the bug goo that happens on long trips. The inside is clean of the trash and the sunflower seed shells that always accompany me on my travels. On my socials, youContinue reading “Home Again”

Return Home

We started the trek back home. Currently in the car for the longest part of the trip. It was a good trip. We went to the wedding of our granddaughter’s parents. I did not take the opportunity to give a toast. If I had, this is what I would’ve said: Thank you for allowing usContinue reading “Return Home”

We are traveling and have finally reached our destination. It has been a good trip. The car has been amazing. We shared the driving and have had good meals. Tomorrow is the main event, and then we will explore a bit before the trek back. Pictures to come via my socials.

A day out

Today, after a continuing education course, my husband and I started our errands. First up, we dropped the car off to get some maintenance before leaving our trip. While my husband stayed with the car, I walked to a close by clothing store to look for the outfit I would bring for the wedding. WhileContinue reading “A day out”

Out of routine

I’ve fallen out of the habit of writing daily… sorry, everyone. I’m repenting now, though. A couple of things have gone on and are upcoming up in life that I need to process, so it’s the perfect opportunity to get back into my writing practice. During my last pay period, my supervisor was giving meContinue reading “Out of routine”

Day One

We packed the car, dropped off the animals, stopped for a quick breakfast… and then we were Westward Ho! We arrived at our destination earlier than I anticipated, but I had a great nap and still saw my favorite parts of the drive. Tomorrow, we have an adventure planned. I’m not sure exactly what willContinue reading “Day One”

Road Tripping

It’s become a tradition for me to go on a trip. Last year it was a solo trip. This year, we’re going together. It should be a blast.

Menin Suomeen

I went to Finland on a foreign exchange summer program. The summer between my junior and senior years of high school. I left right after school ended for the year and boarded a plane with the other students in the program. During the summer, I had 3 host families. I saw three major cities, andContinue reading “Menin Suomeen”
