In August, I made a new friend. It's weird how sometimes we meet new people right when we need them the most. We became friends through a mutual friend, and started to play Destiny 2 together most weeknights. As we've gotten to know each other, we have discovered a shared...

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
The serenity prayer is something that has always stuck with me, even with my secular outlook on life. Whether you deem your deity as...

It's only about 10:30 here, but I feel so sleepy. Ordinarily I don't get sleepy before midnight, and even that is too early most days. But today is different.
I wonder how much that is a factor of my water intake, or the fact that I've eaten fried food two...

This morning was a bit of a struggle. I don't think I managed to get to sleep before 12:30 AM, even though I was sleepy as early as 10:30 PM.
I did slip on my wake time a little this morning, waking up initially around 6:30 AM, and then again...

Last night I did my evening routine. I took a hot shower, brushed and flossed, and moisturized my skin, head to toe. Then around 11:00 PM, I hopped into bed under the blankets, the window wide open.
We've seen the temperatures drop a bit this week, but they'll be back...

When I started watching Dispatches from Elsewhere, it had already been running for 4 episodes. I truly had no idea what it was about, but the title was intriguing. I recognized the main character and creator, Jason Segel, from How I Met Your Mother, a show I had never really...
