Picture from a hotel room window of a night sky after sunset. You can see the Vermont State Capitol building lit up.

I forget that this place exists. Here have a pretty sky from when I was in Vermont over the weekend.

I feel like more people should have been watching CNNs live viewing of Good Night, and Good Luck

I took a Sudafed after 8pm. I’m tired but can’t fall asleep.

Y’all I just cleaned out my underwear drawer and I had enough to last a zombie apocalypse. And still halving that, I’m good for over a month 🤣🤦‍♀️

I’ll definitely message you next week. Headed to NYC for the weekend. But you definitely gave me something to think about.

I’ve been up since 4:53, the floor guys have been here since 7:45. I did not think this lack of access to the kitchen properly. Or even have enough snacks.

I just kind of feel like I’m at a crossroads? Of what will make me satisfied and not bored or be a slave to the grind.

I know. That’s the hard thing. Like I’m kind of burnt out on working with the public, but I was fantastic at all the behind the scenes stuff in the library (tech services, website maintenance, and social media upkeep but not great in graphic design).

I have 11.5 years exp. working at a gym, 7.5 years exp. working in a library, and 6.5 years of Instructional Design exp. Any job type ideas for a 40 something to start over in a new career. #jobhunting

About me:
Love Roller Coasters, travel, reading, writing, Hallmark movies, Doctor Who, Schitt’s Creek, RWRB, and more.

Left my full time job back in June 2024, trying to find another career in my 40’s.

Pseudo cinnamon roll.

Yes I’m posting random stuff cause it’s better than doom scrolling.

Attempt at a little cinnamon roll, after we had bought a dough sheet instead of crescent rolls.

Next time, more butter and add brown sugar.

Night sky with clouds and snow on the ground.

Pretty clouds in the middle of the night.

Ok so I can’t edit in alt text on images on here?

Look at our new little friend. Possibly a piebald deer? Only comes by at dusk and with a crew protecting her.

Thunderstorms on New Year’s Eve. At least it’s rain and not snow.

I’m sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

Artwork in Philly off of South St. that says Embrace the unknown. It’s on a brick red wall, text is in whites, pinks, and yellows.

Embrace the unknown.

I’m just scared I’m not going to find a job, and I’m just going to spend the rest of my life on the bottom and not be able to remotely earn what I’m worth.

What are some transferable skills? Or what would be a new career for me? Also have 2 Master’s degrees and I know I get looked over a lot because of that. 2/3

I have 7.5 years experience working in a public library, all aspects, enjoy tech services and cataloging. Burnt out from customer facing position. Have 11.5 years working customer service at a gym. Also have an Instructional Design background. 1/3

Holiday Cards: If you are on my list from last year, you are getting a card this year. If you have moved in the past year DM me your new address.

If you are a Canadian friend your cards will go out whenever your postal strike is over.

Skunk eating out of a bird feeding bowl.

So apparently we have a pair of skunks as this is a different one than the previous post.

I still have some peeps who refuse to leave that I want to stay in contact with, but I also want to keep it to keep my username.

Fun new visitor tonight.

Hmm I think it’s 10 but 11 is the first I watched all the way through.

Writing: I’ve written fanfic and I read fanfic as well. I also have some ideas for original writing as well.

Books: I read a little of everything. I’m kind of in my rom com era but that will ebb and flow.

I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, amusement parks, roller coasters, Schitt’s Creek, Doctor Who, Hallmark Movies, Expedition Unknown and more.
