30 Days with a Minimal Wardobe
I’ve already mentioned that I want to try to get rid of most of my clothes and have a minimal wardrobe. I’m not quite to the point where I’m ready to get rid of them and take the plunge but I want to try it out to see how it will go. So for this … Continue reading 30 Days with a Minimal Wardobe
Life In Masonry
When I was in my first season with the last drum corps I marched with, I took one of the tenor players under my wing to help him out. It was his first season with any corps and there was nobody there working with the tenor section so I felt somewhat obligated because I remember … Continue reading Life In Masonry
The Great Camper Fire of '99
The Great Camper Fire of ‘99 I don’t remember what year this actually happened. I just know it was at my fourth home when I was a kid. That would put it somewhere around 1999-2001. When we lived at my third home my mom’s boyfriend bought an RV style camper. I’m not sure of the … Continue reading The Great Camper Fire of '99
30 Days to a 5-Minute Plank
Back in the fall of 2019 I did a 1-minute plank every day before eating lunch. For this 30-day challenge I’m going to work toward being able to do a 5 minute plank. I got laid off yesterday so I’ll have plenty of time to put toward getting there. I’m going to be somewhat following … Continue reading 30 Days to a 5-Minute Plank
My Love For Planning
I love planning. I can't always make up plans on the spot because I'd rather take the time to think things through. And because of that I usually can't adapt too quickly if I've already planned something one way and then have to do the complete opposite. I try to make back-up plans but those … Continue reading My Love For Planning
30 Days of Learning to Play Ocarina
I know I had originally planned to do Twitch streaming for this 30-day challenge. I ran into two problems with that plan. The first is that I only have enough time each day right now to stream for an hour if I get up an hour early to stream before work. That would be a … Continue reading 30 Days of Learning to Play Ocarina
Energy Drinks
My life is very cyclical. There are times in the year when I only work a little over 40 hours each week. And there are times when I work from about 5:00am to about 11:00pm depending on the day for 6 days a week with just a few hours on the seventh day. I’d say … Continue reading Energy Drinks
This Month I Want To Try Baking
I love baked goods. Even when they have substitutions to make them keto I have difficulty finding a baked good I don’t like. I just wish I could make them myself. I am pretty good at cooking because it’s more difficult to mess up. If you put too much of an ingredient in while cooking … Continue reading This Month I Want To Try Baking
30 Days with No Laundry On The Floor
For my next 30-day challenge I will not be putting laundry on my floor for any reason. Usually I’ll just throw my clothes on the floor because the hamper is full of clean clothes I haven’t put away. So then I end up with a pile of clothes next to my bed. Then I have … Continue reading 30 Days with No Laundry On The Floor
