2026 Goals

On April 26th my mother had a brain hemorrhage. Luckily, her friend was coming to pick her up for brunch after church. Otherwise, we probably would not have found her in time. She was perfectly fine, just 45 minutes earlier, with me at church.

We have all learned a lot the last 2 months for which I will post about at a later date. My mother is doing well, but it has been a very exhausting and tiring road.

Suffice it to say my goals are just not my goals anymore after all of this.

Out of the list of goals I made for myself for 2026, the only goal I care about achieving is to pay off $10,000 in debt.

So, from this point forward, my paying off our debt posts will go back to being posted as Not Impressed With Our Debt. I prefer that way of posting anyways.

I have lots to update on this…my only goal this year. Seems weird to only have one goal but what a goal it is!

I’ll update soon!

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.
