Periodically, via my social media feeds, clips of a woman discussing famous historical events in the most dead pan humour approach possible appear, and I always pause to watch them. I never quite knew exactly what the original source of these clips is, up until a recent discovery which has granted me with tremendous happiness. … More Have you seen ‘Cunk on Earth’?
To my knowledge, the presence of Denny’s restaurant chains here in Canada is lull when compared to its presence in the U.S. The first and only Denny’s I ever went to, up until quite recently, was in Buffalo, New York, and that was probably over ten years ago. I’m not exactly sure when it opened, … More When was the last time you went to Denny’s?
As I’ve mentioned a few times here on my blog already, I’ve gotten back into the wonderful habit of reading over the past couple of months. It’s been fucking wonderful; I will happily admit I went far too long without the wonderful presence of books in my life, and now that I’m back on the … More Looking for a great book to start the new year?

Neurodivergence is a term that I would argue has gained tremendous traction in the mental health realm over the past couple of years. I feel as though the term was almost unheard of up until relatively recently, and because many people are unfamiliar with the term, I thought I would discuss it here with all … More What does it mean to be neurodivergent?
I’m not entirely sure what the reason behind a lack of representation regarding shrimp tacos across most restaurant menus is, but I am here to voice my opinion on the matter and assert that the general public would like to see more readily available shrimp tacos on any given restaurant menu. I hope you don’t … More Let’s make some shrimp tacos
I am a sucker for a good documentary. I never really used to enjoy them when I was younger as I oftentimes found them rather boring, but now that I’ve matured a wee bit and have learned to appreciate history more than I once did, I now prefer watching documentaries over most other shows, with … More Looking for a mind-blowing documentary?

I’ve debated being more transparent about my marijuana use here on my blog with all of you, my lovely readers, and I think I’ve mostly decided to be a little more forthcoming about it. I suppose the reason for my hesitancy to discuss it openly here is a fear of turning anyone off, but, because … More Where do you get your ganja?
With 2024 coming to its close, I thought I would offer a summation of the highs and lows of this year for myself, personally, and, hopefully, encourage all of you to do the same. While a year can simultaneously feel like both the longest and shortest span of time, sometimes we forget all of what … More How was your 2024?
From time to time I do myself a solid and explore convenience stores in search of new and exciting takes on the common chocolate bar. Is this a bit of a niche, if not, a bizarre hobby? Perhaps. But, I will say that I have collected a handful of chocolate bar special editions over the … More Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup … lava cake?!
I would wager most people would rather avoid conflict than engage in it, generally speaking. Granted, there are instances in which there are no options aside from confronting the conflict head-on, but, if there is a possibility to dodge said turmoil, most of us would prefer the latter over the former. Personally, when I end … More Approaching conflict: sometimes, waiting is better
The day has finally arrived; merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you, my incredibly appreciated readers, and to your friends, families and loved ones, too. Whether you celebrate or not, I hope your day is joyful and warm and filled with all of the things that make you happy. Last night, on Christmas … More Merry Christmas
Many people consider Christmastime to be the highlight of their year, and, really, for understandable reasons; out of all of the holidays we collectively celebrate in a given calendar year, Christmas seems to take the cake in terms of celebrations, decorations, festivities and events compared to any other holiday or special occasion. I was chatting … More A friendly reminder you can say ‘no’ during the Holidays
Now that I am back in the routine of reading daily, I have to say that I really did not realize how much I missed it until my reading sabbatical came to an end. I used to be an avid reader, however, after studying English in university and being expected to read a ridiculous number … More Book review: Undercurrent by Paul Blackwell
While I knew from a relatively young age I wanted to pursue English in post-secondary school, the notion of being a writer was not the initial plan. My dream was to be an editor, and while that may not be my designated title in the corporate realm at present, I’m actually doing more editing than … More Wondering how to develop an eye for editing?

My husband and I thoroughly enjoy watching documentaries of just about any genre, but our favourites are arguably true crime and sports documentaries. We watched a solid handful of both types via Netflix, and a couple of days ago, I notified Blaine that a new sports documentary titled Aaron Rodgers: Enigma had been added. I wouldn’t say … More ‘Aaron Rodgers: Enigma:’ view or vanquish?
My husband and I just started watching a new documentary series via Netflix titled Aaron Rodgers: Enigma. I plan to write a separate post discussing the documentary in its entirety, but there is a brief mention of it here in this one because it is what sparked the idea for today’s content. There is a … More Pain versus discomfort: a fine line to identify
I’ve always considered the concept of pity to be a fickle one. I suppose, in a sense, I’m a hypocrite when it comes to pity; I despise it when it is directed toward myself, but I willingly give it to those whom I deem are in need of it. For some inexplicable reason, I’ve managed … More No pity, please
Without sounding like a complete and utter Debby Downer, I have not had the best of luck in regard to my health as of late. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2021, and while it is not a walk in the park, I have my suspicions that my illness is contributing to other injuries … More Feeling overwhelmed? You might benefit from this philosophy
I doubt I solely speak for myself when I say that whenever I hear the term ‘date night,’ my mind almost instantly conjures up an image of a ritzy restaurant, nice clothing and dollar signs. I’m not even sure what the reasoning behind this association is, aside from possible social conditioning that has subconsciously influenced … More Let’s simplify date night
Brownies are oftentimes a crowd pleaser, and for obvious reasons, really; they’re soft and gooey on the inside with a bit of crunch on the outside (especially if you snag a corner piece), and their chocolatey flavour is always pleasant. With Christmas approaching, I thought it might be a nice idea to bake some brownies. … More Let’s make Christmas brownies
This past Friday, I accompanied my mom and sister for a much-needed visit to Costco. I hadn’t been since August, so there were definitely some items I desperately needed to replenish, and because my mom and sister both needed a number of things, we agreed it made sense to go together. In retrospect, we were … More Costco at Christmastime: yay or nay?
In the likely case you have not heard of mallet finger before, don’t stress. I certainly was not savvy with the term up until about a week ago after demolishing my pinky finger, so I would imagine most people haven’t heard of it before unless they, too, have experienced it. I play in a touch … More Are you familiar with mallet finger?
Before we delve into the nitty gritty content of this absolutely riveting post, allow me to state that these fast food preference posts are not going to be a series by any means. I think after today’s post I shall cease writing about fast food favourites, in case anyone is stressing about this sort of … More How about your go-to McDonald’s order?
There is a definite probability that some of you read the title of today’s post and rendered its subject content completely and utterly useless. If so, I can’t entirely say I blame you; is today’s topic of utmost importance in the grand scheme of things? Hell, no. Call me odd, but I’ve always been curious … More What is your go-to Tim Horton’s order?
I would wager that most of us have been at the receiving end of having our feelings invalidated at some point in life. While an unfortunate occurrence, it is a relatively common one, and as unpleasant as it is, it is often done without the perpetrator even realizing what they have just engaged with. The … More The danger of invalidating oter people’s feelings
Hair is a fickle thing. Most of us have it on top of our heads, and despite how common, and, I suppose, ‘normal’ it is, I can’t help but recognize just how different hair is for everyone who has it. There are numerous types of hair, some typical examples being curly, straight, wavy, and fine. … More Looking for a winning hair product? Look no further
I believe I have mentioned before that I like to reference Buzzfeed articles from time to time in an attempt to keep up with what are, supposedly, unbelievably great products. I’ve managed to collect a few items over the years from these sorts of articles that have proven to be excellent purchases, hence why I … More If you like spice, you need this oil
I’ve been procrastinating a few jobs that are all relative to me for the past little while. I suppose I should recognize that the delay in completing these jobs is a result, in part, of procrastination; the other reason is my schedule has been a wee bit busy as of late thanks to appointments and … More Decluttering: a physical and mental relief
Being the recipient of a good deed is almost always a guaranteed positive experience. When someone goes out of their way to be kind, it makes us feel acknowledged, and perhaps even special; it is wonderful enough when people we know do something pleasant for us, but I think the effect is even more pronounced … More Read this for some good deed ideas
Without trying to sound too redundant, many Christmas dishes and desserts tend to get a bit repetitive in terms of how many times they have graced our tables. Yes, tradition is important and should be respected to a certain extent, but I don’t necessarily think tradition should entirely negate the possibility of adding something new … More How about a Turtle Tart for your Christmas spread this year?
