Ups and Downs #50_before50

August goal review #50_before50

It’s a fact- as you get older time just moves more quickly. Except for this year. The one year when I would love a blink-and-it’s-gone feeling. This year just. won’t. end.

July review #50_before50

All things considered, July was a fairly quiet month. Well, except for the days around Independence Day. Those were noisy!

It’s About Time for a WIN #50_before50

By Jody Halsted June 9, 2020

The past couple months have been a downer. Everything has just been… off. From going back to a part time 8-hour-a-day job to not getting enough sleep, life has not been gelling for me. Part of it are the hours I am working. 4am – noon means a 2:30am wake up and a 7:30 pm […]
