6 Things I Did During the Polar Vortex
I live in Oklahoma. The middle of February is, from my memory, the coldest and suckiest time of the year. It isn’t that I love weeks on end of triple digit heat, but I damn sure do not like the snow (or ice). It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve gone outside. In fact, there’s a good 12″ of snow in my yard (still…although it’s melting). It isn’t that unusual for me to stay home because I am extremely introverted. So, here is a boring listicle of 6 things I did during the polar vortex.

Trying to Get Skinny for the New Year? Stop.
Skinny does not always equal healthy. I say that as someone who lost close to 40 pounds, between 2018 and 2020. And, as a matter of fact, one of my top posts for this website has to do with Morning Meltdown (and I am not a Beachbody coach).

And We Finally Have Electricity
The electricity finally came back on yesterday (Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020) just before 2 pm. I felt a wave of relief. Of course, we had two committed errands we had to run. Our oldest son (22) still had (and still has, to our understanding) to electricity so he came to stay with us.

Day 8 No Power
And I’m salty about it…not at linemen or contractors. I’ll spare my diatribe for now. I’m writing this on my phone. I’ll update the jobs list when I have electricity.

Time Saving Hacks I Use in My Work from Home Life
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: we all get the same 24 hours in a day. You have the same amount of time as every millionaire and billionaire who started off with nothing to get to where they are. You have the same amount of time as people like me who aren’t millionaires or billionaires but still managed to replace the prairie dog village (cubicle life) with the joy and bullshit that comes from working from home. (If this is your first visit here, the premise of this blog has always been to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of working from home.) Here are some of the time saving hacks I use in my work from home life.

Whew – Virtual School.
Still around. Still alive. Virtual school has been an adventure.

Perhaps Humans Are Just Shitty
Well, it’s been just over a year since the last two mass shootings. Of course, during COVID-19, we had a shelter in place order for months.

Easy Homemade Bread [VEGAN]
Y’all, it was vegan before I touched it, I swear. It also requires ZERO kneading….and you do NOT need a Dutch oven. You just need an oven safe pan (duh) and enough aluminum foil to cover it.

Working from Home Became My Safety Net
I am often asked about how I got started working from home. And the other question I’m asked on a regular basis is what made me decide to work from home. Working from home is romanticized and, yes, there are some great perks. My story behind building my business is rather unique because there are a lot of factors involved. When I say that a traditional corporate job just isn’t possible, I mean it in a literal way. Working from home is the safest option.
