Ah, January. That wonderful time of the year where everyone wants to get healthy. And yeah, I’m totally one of them. I really just decided that I wasn’t going to worry about more than getting through the holidays this year. I survived them. I didn’t go over my highest weight from last year, although …

(goals/writing/personal) Looking towards the future
Posted on January 8, 2017
It’s a new year. I’ve already started to do things a little differently – set up a new theme here on the blog, and added a button at the top of the page so you can follow me on Patreon if you’d like. There will be new stuff on the Patreon coming soon, as I’m …
(writing/personal) Pokemon Go!
Posted on July 11, 2016
Yes, I’ve gotta catch them all too. It’s fun, and I need some fun in my life. Besides, it’s something hubby and I can do together. And it’s good for us. I’m Team Yellow (aka Instinct) and if you want to find me, I’m CassieHobbes. I’m also recommitting to writing (again). I’ve discovered …
(writing) Taking the leap
Posted on April 20, 2016
Well, I’ve been talking about it for a while, and I’ve finally taken the plunge. I’ve signed up for Patreon. You can sign up for my stream here. Now, to allay any fears – I will still be posting here too. And the Advent Story will still be here in December every year. …
(health) Making better choices
Posted on February 26, 2016
I love this picture. I love the feel of the greenery, of the moving water, of the sheer potential it represents. To me, running water and the outdoors is happiness. I haven’t been able to do much in the outdoors over the past couple of years, due to a lot of weight gain, injuries …
(writing/personal) All the things
Posted on February 24, 2016
Life has been complicated lately. Some things have ended, others have started, and I’m not quite sure how I’m handling all of it. I’m not going to discuss that, or what’s really going on yet. I’m going to talk about writing. I know, shocking. But I’ve not really been writing lately, and I’ve realized …
(personal/writing) Writing in the wind
Posted on February 3, 2016
I’m currently sitting in a comfy chair in an infusion room at UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester, with an IV in my arm, waiting for my next Remicade infusion. It’s raining outside, and as I’m on the 6th floor, I have a lovely view of the parking lot, and the rain. (Hey, at least it’s …
(writing) Slow progress
Posted on January 24, 2016
I don’t write fast any more. I think it’s because I’m more of the planner, and I don’t like rewrites, so I want things to be perfect (or as perfect as they can be in a first draft). But I’ve discovered that if I head to a coffee shop, or my studio, I seem to …
(personal) Tea, and the quitting of soda
Posted on January 18, 2016
I love tea. It’s no secret that I love tea, and that I am a wee bit of a tea snob (yes, Molly totally gets it from me, except that I can’t afford to buy my personal blends all the time, so I do occasionally buy tea from the grocery store. But even then, it’s …
(personal/writing/advent) New Year brings new opportunities
Posted on January 3, 2016
It’s the beginning of a new year, and one I’m hoping is better than last year. No, one I will MAKE better than next year. I’m recommitting to several things – my goal to get healthy; my writing; and myself. Yes, I’m going to be enforcing my time to get better. I can’t …
