Guilty For Resting

lilacskies @lilacskies (4508) • United States 16 Feb

I don't know about you, but I feel guilty for resting sometimes. For instance, if I rest for an entire day, I feel guilty about not spending that time doing something more meaningful. I am dealing with health problems as usual so...

J.N.R Dutton Nobody should feel guilty for resting if they need to. Better to rest than to suffer full on burnout and giving yourself even worse problems (like say, a heart attack.)

Thrifting Tomorrow

lilacskies @lilacskies (4508) • United States 13 Feb

I am going to a local thrift store tomorrow to see what kind of goodies they have for cheap. I probably won't buy anything, but I'm going out tomorrow for work so I might as well do two things while I'm out to make the most of my...

Free Food Is Good Food

lilacskies @lilacskies (4508) • United States 11 Feb

I don't know about you, but I love free food and will happily accept it if there is an opportunity to do so. Takeout and eating out cost a lot and every debit card charge adds up fast. In a blink, a $20 meal turns into $500 plus a...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42449) • United States 23 Jan

Spoke with a nurse yesterday when I was trying to get a hold of my husband. She said he was acting mean so they are giving him a test for a UTI. The meanness could be the same as what happened when he had hospital delirium early...

Are you a gift bag person, or a gift wrapper?

Amber @AmbiePam (96071) • United States 28 Dec

Well, are you a gift bag user, or a wrapper? I used to wrap everyone’s presents, and I’d get really creative in how I adorned the paper. Two years ago, I just got weary of it, and went to all gift bags. As you can see, on...
