Well...here it is a year after lockdown started.

I'm taking things day by day.

Still searching for a puppy.  Because of the high demand for pets last year, certain breeds are harder to find.  

I haven't forgotten this place, just been busy but I plan on getting things squared away.

I will say I'm trying to stay hopeful about the second half of 2021. So far things seem promising.

In the meantime, I have plenty of things to do which will help with quarantine.

Autism and quarantine is complicated but I plan on making the most of the extra time I have.

Will upload more things in my gallery later.

2021...so far

1 min read

Well, it's been a month since my last update.


This year has had a rough start but I'm trying to stay hopeful.


Thus far I've found out a few things that will likely be helpful in the long run.


I've also got some ideas I plan to work on so stay tuned!

Holding On

Wow, looking at my previous journal I had been so hopeful this year.

After February, almost everything I was hoping to do went out the window.  

I've had several ups and downs this year.

It's been rough and while I'm trying to be hopeful that things will get better, I'm on the fence for now.

The goals I had for this year are still on the table but some will be on hold until further notice.

In the meantime, I plan to work on ways to stay busy and reduce the stress I've been under.

Hopefully next year I'll be a lot more organized.

That's all for now.

Hi all,

I know I have updated in a year.

So much happened in 2019. It was a roller coaster. 

Anyway, hoping this year and decade will be better. I've been away from this website for so long and it's changed a lot so I'll have to get used to that as well.

I plan on doing monthly updates here but I can't make any promises.

 So far, I've had a rocky start but going forward, I plan to stay hopeful and optimistic. I'm also working on thinking more positive and remove as much negativity and stress from my life as I can. I've let my wellbeing take a backseat for too many years, if I'm ever going to recover from the burnout I'm in, I need to put my priorities in order which is what I'll be working on starting this month.

For January, I'll be getting myself organized and just catching up in general.

Stay tuned for later updates!

Get It Right

Hi all,

I know it's been a year and a half since I last posted a journal. 

I was in not 1 but 2 car accidents last year, I'm ok, but I spent the rest of 2018 recovering.

Anyway, will be posting some updates next month.

I decided to spend January mapping out what I want to accomplish this year.

More on that later. 

My first week of 2019 started off good, as for the rest of the month, it had it's ups and downs. But, going forward, I plan to make up for lost time.
