I was gearing up for a new blog style, more in the moment thoughts and quicker posts to account for the lack of travel happening ... then my world went upside down. I will return to this blog at some point, maybe soon, maybe a bit down the road. For now, I am mourning the … Continue reading Stumbling

What do you mean it's not all about me?
I'm goofy, I'm geeky, I'm a bit emo, I'm living in Italy!
Content Change
Since there won't be as much travel or food type posts in the foreseeable future, I'm going to try more quick thoughts or updates which will also compensate for me not posting on Facebook. Today, we are flying out to Louisiana to pick up the truck we bought in December that is finally finished and … Continue reading Content Change
Breaking Through
Today I broke below the weight I was stuck at for most of June. I plateau hard when I'm losing weight, every 5 pounds or so I get stuck. Pushed through the latest barrier today! I got the job I was trying for. Not going to lie, I was not optimistic. After 4 years of … Continue reading Breaking Through

We celebrated with a … Continue reading Summer Solstice 2020
Existential Crisis
I'm slowly beginning to wonder if I actually exist if I'm not active on Facebook.

Covid Commentary
The silver hairs are coming in, yep it's been a few months since my salon visit and I haven't bothered to color at home. For me hair color has been for fun and not for covering grey/silver hair. I consider them well earned, along with the wrinkles setting in. So, I may just let it … Continue reading Covid Commentary
Health Thoughts, People Are Grossing Me Out
Working up to 2020, I was focused on getting my health in line. We would be out of Italy so the carbs, pastries and sweets would not be as tempting and I wouldn't feel as uncomfortable exercising alone. Reality of the start of 2020 was me being very sick for quite some time and unable … Continue reading Health Thoughts, People Are Grossing Me Out
Just Things
Every now and then the universe reminds me about the importance of things. Or perhaps the un-importance of things. Today I had to remind myself that the "thing" that just broke was just a thing. Is it easily replaced? No, not unless I am heading back to Sicily soon and it was handcrafted. It was … Continue reading Just Things

So, we saved for it and at this point I think we are about finished and have managed to remain debt free. While overseas … Continue reading Getting Back Into It
