Lost dogs, scary movies and photography

Welcome to Day 3 of the 100 Day Challenge, and happy Halloween!

I fell asleep watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last night, but caught up this evening. I didn’t fall asleep because the movie was bad, but because I was exhausted. It has been a strange week, where I have been busy, but not productive. It’s annoying, and it needs to change.


I think I am becoming addicted to walking! Six months ago I did zero exercise, but this week I have already walked 15km and am craving more. It’s now also my go-to methodology for quick problem solving. When I am stuck on something, I want to just put on my trekking shoes and go walk it out. It works. I walk to music, a podcast or just silence, depending on my mood and the goal. I find it a perfect time to get lost in daydreams, and hopes for an ideal future. I try to take at least some of my walking time to imagine living my perfect day, and hope that that helps it manifest soon!


I rescued a dog from certain death today. It ran out the gate as the owner was driving out, and followed the car down a very busy road. The owner was oblivious to the whole thing, but luckily I managed to coax the dog into my car before it was driven over. The owner literally cried at handover. My good deed for the day.


I need to up my photography! This needs to be a two-prong approach. first, I need to take more photographs. I should probably set myself a goal of taking 10 photos per day, at least. Secondly, I need to know how to make them good! Right now they are pathetic at best, and that doesn’t help with content creation. I am going to try to do better tomorrow. And while I am at it, I might as well also take some selfies. I have so few photographs of myself.

Men + women = friendship?

I am very comfortable with having male friends while also having a boyfriend, because I know myself, and I know my friends, and I know there’s literally zero chance, while I am in this relationship, that any of these friendships would turn into something more than just platonic.

Thanks, January 2025. You were swell.

I am keeping myself accountable to my 2025 vision, and am doing a monthly recap. January feels like a lifetime away, but it’s only been a week! It also feels like a lot happened in Jan. New Years Day was spent recuperating from an amazing New Years Eve party, which

Well, hello 2025!

I am very excited for 2025! I wrote about my 2024 recap, and honestly…it was all positive. (I’m sure I had lots of negative things happen in 2024, but none seem to have made a lasting impression). So now, I need to harness that positivity, and skate into 2025. Of

Review of 2024

Yes, I know it’s February, and most people review their year in first weeks of January, but that has never really worked for me. I need the year to end properly, then I need to decompress, and then I need to reflect. That takes time, so February seems apt. And

Rollercoasting through life

Welcome to Day 3 of 100 Day Writing Challenge. A hill I will die on: life is designed to be a rollercoaster. It’s literally unavoidable that it will be a cycle of ups and downs. Some downs can be traumatic (unexpected death of a loved one) or much less extreme
