A few days before things got really crazy with total home lock down style quarantine, my sister and I went grave walking. This is our story…(dramatic duh duh!) I didn’t realize that going to cemeteries for family fun wasn’t a normal thing to do until I was older. Almost thirty really. I switched my minorContinue reading “Cemetery Girls”

Quarantine Day…What Day Is It?
If I wasn’t The Hermitess before, I definitely am now. I chose the name for the blog because I felt that it fit me, a woman who was choosing to work at home in the middle of the woods, and trying to deal with extreme anxiety that made it really difficult to be around otherContinue reading “Quarantine Day…What Day Is It?”
Quarantine: Week 3 (Three hundred and forty five)
It’s nearly midnight and I’m finally able to write. The past few nights I’ve spent my usual writing time trying to plan out the next days educational adventures for double trouble (my two kids).

A Hermitess’ Guide To Social Distancing
It’s been a little over a week now since all of this COVID-19 stuff got downright scary. Since social distancing become a part of the common vernacular. It seems like months. Damn.

Goodbye Public School
I sent in the letter of intent to completely home school my daughter today. It had been sitting in my Google docs for a while now.

March Madness
I started to post a rant I’ve been working on, explaining all the reasons why I haven’t been blogging. Then I re-edited it and started to go off on another rant about how tired I am of having to excuse my existence or prove my worth in dollar signs while actually going on and onContinue reading “March Madness”
Cold Snap
I was really doing good, all thanks to me being on the upswing of my “issues”. I’ve been getting out of the house for a few hours at least two days a week, taking my medication and really keeping busy… Until this past week when a cold front hit. Aaaanndd…..SLUMP. There is nothing worse forContinue reading “Cold Snap”
When I Think About Spring I Think About Chickens
It’s January and I’m already thinking about spring. My seed catalogs are coming in the mail and I’m planning out where things will be planted as well as what kind of chickens I want and what I want to name them. Loretta Hen, a chicken for every member of the Fellowship of the Ring, orContinue reading “When I Think About Spring I Think About Chickens”
New Year, New Me, Sort Of…Not Really.
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. One of my new year’s resolutions was to start a blog. It’s not a very interesting beginning is it? It doesn’t pull you in the way some people do with promises to show you how to have a better life” because if I can youContinue reading “New Year, New Me, Sort Of…Not Really.”
