I really love end-of-year content. Tell me about the things you tried, the things you learned, and the things you're glad you didn't do. I want all of the 2021 roundups. This year has been one of self-improvement and discovery for me. I joined a coworking/networking group of primarily women, so I have a ton... Continue Reading →
Where the hell have I been?
That's an excellent question. Clearly I’m still alive, and I wanted to catch up. How’s it going? Are you making it through the hurricane/wildfire/locust plague/global pandemic? I hope so. I find myself getting extremely overwhelmed when I think about everything that’s going on, and I know I’m not alone there. Anyone else on a news... Continue Reading →
Another New Year, still same Teresa
Oh, hi. It's been awhile since we chatted, so let's catch up on some stuff. I started school, joined a coworking/networking space to maybe make some friends (virtual for now, but someday in real life), bought a new car, I'm job hunting, making more of an effort to plan things (like projects and study time),...

So about this pandemic
Hi! I hope you're all safe and healthy. I'm not handling things all that well, to be honest. Remember when this whole thing started and I was totally cavalier about it? I was all like, "It's fine, use the time to learn a language, make coffee, remember to take showers"? Well, I was wrong. So.... Continue Reading →
Hey… remember me?
Oh hi. I've been gone for awhile. After my uncle died I went into a bit of a funk. And by funk I mean full-fledged depression. It wasn't all related to his death; I found a new doctor in Albany and we've been messing with my meds a bit, plus the change in weather, the... Continue Reading →
I’m alive, just sad
Hello friends. We're more than halfway through the month, and while I planned to post lots of good spooky things, I just haven't been in the right mindset to write. Or really do much of anything other than work. My great uncle died at the beginning of the month. It was sudden and unexpected, and... Continue Reading →
I’m alive…
But I've been flat on my ass for almost two weeks. Labor Day weekend I went home to Rochester to spend time with family and go to my "cousin's" wedding. The scare quotes are because she's not actually my cousin, but I've known her since she was born and we all grew up together, so... Continue Reading →
How you doin’?
Hello internet friends! I'm fried. Between work and other life nonsense, I'm feeling pretty burned out. It's actually mostly because of work. I've been unhappy in my job for a while, and the powers that be have implemented some changes to mitigate our misery, but ultimately, I work in customer support. Support reps everywhere are...

There and back again
We just got back to Albany after spending the weekend in Rochester. We went to our oldest niece's high school graduation and had lots of family time. It was lovely. I tried some new stuff while I was gone. Reviews are imminent. And tomorrow is July 1st. I don't know where the time is disappearing... Continue Reading →
I’m home. It’s cold.
Hello, my dear internet friends. Did you miss me? I've been home from my vacation for a few days and attempting, mostly in vain, to get back into the swing of real life. I worked, sort of successfully. I've been trying to get my house in order, completely unsuccessfully. Really the only thing I've been... Continue Reading →
New year, same me
Happy New Year internet friends. The holiday season for me has been filled with fun, travel, and the people I love. Including many children, which means that now I'm quite sick and likely won't be awake at midnight. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been healthy on NYE in the... Continue Reading →
Family fun time in Ft. Lauderdale
My stepdad turned 60 over the weekend. His birthday conveniently coincided not only with his favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills, taking on their longtime rivals, the Miami Dolphins, in Miami, but the resort where my sweet, adorable cousin works in Fort Lauderdale was also hosting a Buffalo Bills-themed weekend, complete with game tickets, transportation,...

All aboard the struggle bus! Or boat. Or train. It’s your choice.
It's been brought to my attention that it's November 12, and I've only posted twice in this entire month. Not that I necessarily needed the reminder because, as any writer/blogger/creative type knows, when we aren't creating, we're thinking about creating. Stressing about it. Allowing it to hang over our heads like big grey storm clouds.... Continue Reading →
Paranormal things that scare the ever-loving shit out of me
I've talked about fear already during this creepy high holy season, but the fears I mentioned weren't paranormal in nature. Those fears were relatively minor compared to the things I want to talk about today. So, at this point you all know that I'm a creepy bitch; I don't shy away from the paranormal and...

Hey, remember me?
I'm sitting in my apartment in Albany, surrounded by boxes and misplaced furniture, listening to my nephew yell about something weird while playing Fortnite. Our move is finally over, with the exception of the stuff still in my car that we just didn't have the fortitude to move today. It's weird finally living here, with... Continue Reading →
