I wish I was impulsive. I used to be more impulsive than I am today. Actually, I’m the complete opposite of impulsive. I have a routine and stick to it with minutious detail. Every day in precisely the same order, my husband and I do the same things. Healthy or …
Not For Me, or Is It? Before my first NaNoWriMo, I had heard about it. I never really looked into how it worked. I thought it was a weird competition I didn’t want to enter. In 2018 some planned writing assignments fell away when I again came across this phenomenon. …
Sports Are Not For Me I am a strong person. Strong-willed, that is, and I have a sharp mind. I am quite set in my ways, and I always have an opinion. This is an excellent trait to have, but not when it’s working against you. You see, my mind …

Roasted Flavoured Peanuts When I first saw this prompt, I thought about my snacking habits. Simply put: I snack too much. Too many crisps and peanuts and chocolate and cookies. Last year, in the winter of 2018/2019, I was addicted to peanuts, the flavoured ones from Lidl. I gained so …
Friends were my theme of 2019. I joined the BDSM community, and I discovered why I hadn’t been able to make friends for over twenty years: kink. I had several best friends during my high school years, but we connected over different things than sexuality. We had a similar lifestyle, …
