Hello! It’s me, typing on my laptop, using my phone data because the power is going to be out for a few hours due to the replacement of a power pole. We are just going with the strategy of hot spotting on devices until they die and trying not to open the fridge too much (although luckily the weather is quite cool). I am a bit bummed that I can’t do laundry on the one fine day we have forecast for the next week! But by the same token, I do have a legit excuse not to do laundry haha. I’ve been feeling the SAD lately (Seasonal Affective Disorder/Depression) and…

What I’ve learned about healthy habits + me.
I have blogged about my efforts in being physically healthy (and hopefully mentally healthier too) many times. There have been many incarnations of Healthy Kez over the years (you just have to click on the tag Kez Gets Physical to see what I mean)!

Reflecting on 2020.
I’ve been wanting to write about 2020. A year in review. A wrap up of the year that was. Some reflections. It’s hard! I mean, how do you talk about a year that felt like a decade’s worth of stuff was squished into it? It’s definitely been a unique year and one we will never forget (even if we wanted to). It is one of those years that will go down in history. Our grandchildren will be learning about it. I cannot begin to imagine what that will be like for them (they might be bored of our old people stories about the time we couldn’t get toilet paper). So…
