Blogmas Day 5 - Haircut

Blogmas Day 5 - Haircut

Blogmas Day 5 - welcome! This is becoming a late-night ritual of mine that I highly enjoy. Sitting and decompressing with you all. Thank you, again, for reading and coming along on my Christmas journey with me. December is usually a pretty tough month for me. Definitely, by no means, my happiest month of the year, even with my birthday in it. But, thanks in large part to these little diary entries, I’m enjoying it a lot more than I ever have.

Blogmas Day 4 - Commuting

Blogmas Day 4 - Commuting

It’s already December 4th - my brain can’t process that fully. In addition to it being Blogmas Day 4, it’s also my Momma’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM). It was also dentist appointment day. Yay. 😒 So, both of those things meant that a 2.5-hour drive was in order. My dentist and my Mom are both on the other side of the state from me, so Ethan and I often find ourselves driving to and from at all hours of the day. It can be exhausting and daunting, but I don’t plan to replace either of them anytime soon, so I better get used to it, I guess.

No, that wasn’t a typo. For those who have never heard of it, Frankenmuth - pronounced exactly how it’s spelled - is a small Germanic village in the middle of Eastern Michigan.

The Tradition of Trudging For Trees

The Tradition of Trudging For Trees

In case it wasn’t already clear, I am not big into most holidays and anything holiday-spirit-esque.

We didn’t celebrate them when I was young and I just grew up with the mentality that Christmas and the like were more-or-less unnecessary expenses, wastes of time, and stress-causers.

Who Knew That Getting On the Wrong Train Could Lead to Such an Incredible Adventure?

Who Knew That Getting On the Wrong Train Could Lead to Such an Incredible Adventure?

Visiting Zurich, Switzerland was literally a happy accident. I ended up on the wrong train and traveled hours away from Geneva, where I was meant to be visiting. Other than the extremely high train fair, there was nothing about this oopsie that didn’t turn out to be a win.
