I think nearly everyone's done an in-home haircut of some kind by this point. I trimmed my bangs over the summer, and my sister Amy cut my brother's hair. I made videos of both. Enjoy. Also, I've reached 400 followers after six years of blogging, so thank you for that. If you aren't following, I … Continue reading Quarantine Haircuts
The New Job
I'm sorry I haven't written in a minute, but as you can probably guess from the title, I've been occupied. In January, I was lucky enough to start a new job. My first permanent full-time job, and in the middle of a recession no less (although, it seems there's a recession every year, so perhaps … Continue reading The New Job
Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
Tonight I sit in my new (to me) reading chair, alone on Christmas Eve. My last post was a month ago, and what a month it's been! I've been busy, and there have been some big changes in my life. The biggest being that I've moved into my own place. It's a basement suite without … Continue reading Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
Streaming Instead of Screaming

Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming

On Friday, October 16th, I was writing a scene by hand, writing down for the first time some … Continue reading Thoughts on Death
Marvin’s 2020 Birthday
This video gave me grief in editing, and as a result I was set back months for my vlogging schedule. Hopefully I figured it out and we won't have that problem anymore. https://youtu.be/QmWXoi53c_0
Foxy: Obit
When we first got Foxy, we didn't have furniture yet. My dad was in the process of moving out and my mom didn't want a dog at her house, so I slept in my dad's empty house with her. Foxy, October 2014 She was a rescue, found on the streets alone, and we didn't know … Continue reading Foxy: Obit
Airing Out my Grievances
My part-time job is a bit of a drive, but I've never minded because nothing beats coming off a long shift and breathing in the clean air on the way to my car. Each breath feels like I'm getting triple the oxygen that I get in the city, and it feels so good. After my … Continue reading Airing Out my Grievances
Mother’s Day Vlog
Mother's Day was one of the first times we left our house together in the pandemic since COVID-19 hit our city in March. Of course, I filmed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6tCPExEcsA
