Nearing the end of the month already

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 8h

Where has this month gone? It really seems to have flown by. I am not sure how it happened. Nor am I sure how I put so much more time in here to have doubled the results from last month already. All I can do is be thankful...

When the gloom began to descend

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 26 Nov

I was feeling pretty low this morning for several reasons that I don't want to talk about now. I nearly crawled back into bed and pulled the covers over my head, but I don't want to get into a situation where I'm succumbing to...

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 26 Nov

Plans have changed at the last minute, and RGD and I will not be getting together today. We have decided to wait until Saturday morning. That also means that Honey will be gone for two more nights. I really did not feel like...

I am going to have some breakfast. I know I won't make it any longer through the day if I don't eat. I had some leftover zucchini that I had roasted, and I found some chicken sausages up in the freezer. I will eat half of these...

Dinner tonight, and more GOT

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 24 Nov

I made a simple dinner using a salad slaw kit from Trader Joe's. It's the Oniony Kale Slaw Kit. I didn't feel like eating much else, as I was still full from the Peppermint Mocha I had a couple of hours ago from Starbucks. Now,...

Preparations for a long winter and spring

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 24 Nov

I have spent quite a lot of money in these past two weeks. Quite honestly, most of it has been spent on myself. As many already know, I purchased an Instant Pot, and the Oster XL Toaster Convection oven. I have also spent quite a...

Free peppermint mocha

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 24 Nov

I have saved up enough Stars over the last year to get an occasional peppermint mocha from Starbucks. I am enjoying one now! The fact that I didn't have to pull cash out for it is a plus!

I'm done with the 2nd episode of "Game of Thrones" this afternoon, and I just purged about 60 older discussions, and some things I didn't want up any longer. I was over 200 again, most of which had very little traffic (or purpose...

I'm jumping into the Game of Thrones

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 23 Nov

I am one of those few people that has NEVER watched an episode of "Game of Thrones." I am not one of the cult following. I do not even have a clear idea of what it is about. Nor do I know anything about the series,...

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 23 Nov

I stopped by the mini market on my way home to get some imodium. I had not eaten any lunch, and did not want to have to make anything. In the refrigerator section I found this Caesar salad gem with a 75% discount. The sell-by...

Tonight's Movie: How to Train Your Dragon

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (30810) • United States 22 Nov

I haven't watched an animated film in a while. Tonight I saw, How to Train Your Dragon. I thought it was cute. But maybe... It just appealed to that Viking heritage of mine. Even though we may come across as rough,...
