The Queen

I woke up today to news that The Queen is not doing well. I know I’m an American, but this woman reminds me so much of my late grandmother. I’m just sad. I’ve traveled across the U.K. and I love the people there. I know people have varying opinions about the royal family, and that’s …

I cleaned!

I managed to spend some time cleaning my closet. I guess that is part of my room so I can count it as cleaning that space. I also went grocery shopping with my stepdad and hauled everything into the house, so I did my good deeds for the day. It’s cloudy and gross today so …

Back from vacay!

I went up north and made a brief trip over to Mackinac Island. I sat in the park and ate brunch and shopped for a new sweatshirt (but didn’t find anything), and I bought fudge, (which the island is famous for), for friends and family. I also just had a lovely time with my cousin’s …

This girl is going up north!

I’m going up to Mackinaw City, (so I won’t be necessarily crossing the bridge), but I am pretty excited about it. The straights of Mackinac is my favorite area hands down. I am more of a fan of the upper peninsula area than the lower, but my cousin’s grandma has generously invited me to come …

Big storms!

We had some nasty storms last night I guess. I didn’t notice them because I was in the hospital and my window looks out onto a courtyard thing, instead of fully outside. Thank goodness. I’m pretty scared of storms so I am not a fan. Anyway, a bunch of people I know lost power last …

Yeah… still here…

I’m still in the hospital. It’s awesome. Actually, I mean I don’t wish this pain on anyone or myself, but the staff has been amazing and my doctor has been really good as well. I feel like they are really trying to figure it out this time and not just send me to the curb. …

So overwhelmed

I have so many things to do and so many directions to go in, I am just simply overwhelmed. I don’t know if I am coming or going. I need to clean my room. I am trying to help my friend who is being evicted. I’m trying to stay social. I am trying to be …

Meltdown on isle 6

I am working on a total emotional meltdown tonight. Not sure exactly why. I mean, I had a really nice time with my cousin and her girls this weekend. It was fun and I feel like I got quality time with all three of them. My cousin’s grandma was also lovely and very kind. I …

I once was a Girl Scout…

I didn’t really learn much in the Girl Scouts besides how to sell cookies, but I was one. My Dad however, was a Boy Scout for a very long portion of his life and I’ve watched him build fires a number of times. That came in handy last night when my cousin and I got …

Not packing.

I have at least done some laundry towards packing for this trip this weekend, but I am not actually placing things in a bag like I should be. It’s kind of ridiculous. I have no time on Friday to accomplish this task, so I pretty much have to get it done today and tomorrow. You’d …
