2025, so far, what can I say? The usual, I suppose. Up and down. Bittersweet. Fruitful and disappointing at the same time. One thing stands true tho, no matter how much you try to stay away from drama, somehow it will find a way to get through. One way or another.
That being said, I refuse. I rebuke. I refute. Whatever English word fits best, I am not playing these games. One game the economy has been messing with again are egg prices. Really, of all things, eggs?
The never-ending egg-chicken saga continues this year. I am so thankful for my beautiful hens, I have no regrets having them at all. While we don't really eat that many eggs, I still can't imagine paying the prices in the groceries now. My fondness of birds are paying off, I suppose.

Here we are, venturing into another year of uncertainty and hopes! I want to say that every year is a rollercoaster of emotions and adventures, so I'm expecting this year to be another one of those. I have to say, things have gotten a lot more mellow in my life *knock on wood* and I don't really have any complaints. There are challenges here and there, but I wouldn't say it's anything unmanageable.
I realized that the older we got, the less festive "big" celebrations have become. I know that it's not the case for everyone, and it's a bit sad come to think of it. A lot of people are working on these holidays, they're not really holidays anymore. Bear was also working on NYE and NY, so we didn't really have plans to go out.
On New Year's Day, however, we did go to one of my favorite local places in Oshkosh - Pete's Garage. I have to say, they have one of the best cheese curds in town! Now, mind you, this place isn't like any other bars because they definitely have that (how do I describe this) sarcastic sense of humor. Now, they won't berate you like one of those places where they will talk shit and yell at you. This is more of a... they're sarcastic jerks with great food. So be warned, if this isn't your cup of tea send someone to order to just one person takes the hit for the team because you'd still not want to miss their food.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again - time is my absolute enemy.
The gloom of winter is slowly creeping in, and I'm back on that phase of my life where I feel like I've accomplished so little and time is ticking on and on and on. I think that a big part of that is that I'm not getting any younger, yet I feel like there's still so much more out there that I would like to do and experience.
I just feel like I'm running out of time with so much more left to do.
I haven't been feeling well since last Saturday, and the weekend is quickly approaching. Unfortunately, I'm still not feeling my best. I have some great news to announce later on, but in the meantime let me sulk in sadness as my brain is not working it's best. I've been really slow, and honestly just staring at my monitor with thoughts fading away into, well, the back of my brain for me to remember later and be annoyed that I forgot.
Hello Wisconsin!
I think the weather it's the weather getting me all feeling blue. I mean, it's not just me - my Bear, and people at work, have all been sick lately. And we're all scattered around the US, so it's not a localized thing. It's been really warm last week and, in fact, it was about 70°F a few days ago. It was so nice.... and we're back to winter!
Today's thoughts...
I feel like I am really getting old. The more time I spent thinking back, the more I realize that the things I've experience keep adding up in the many years of my life. I also acknowledge how much things have changed, and it's pretty interesting how our lives developed throughout the years.
There will always be someone trying to discourage us, and I'm not gonna lie and pretend that it doesn't affect us or that we can always just ignore these things. Growing up, many people including a lot of adults, told me that I wouldn't succeed or that my life wouldn't be good. I was a strong-willed, independent, and very stubborn child. It was perceived to be rebellious and good for nothing. It was absolutely not always rainbows and butterflies, there were tough times too. But I think this is why things are the way they are, and why I never really gave up. Same reason why I'm always positive and do my best to stay positive.
I'm sure that a lot of us have this struggle! It's 12:04 a.m. as I start typing - I should be in bed, I have a lot of work to do, but here I am pondering on random thoughts and finally blogging. Lot of things to catch up on. I recent got my hands on some new art materials and have already painted a few pieces, which I am very happy with. I want to post them now but my brain says, no - you have to wait and post about the art and the paints...
We know how that goes, I procrastinate and that never happens. So many thoughts, so litter time! Anyways, here's a vain selfie for photo tax. |
