Happy Little (Or Big) University Update
After my recent post about my fears about not doing well in university as a disabled single mom learning in a language that is not my mother tongue, I got some good news that might not be deserving of a whole post on its own, but I’m excited, and this is my blog, and I’m […]
Single Disabled Mom in University- An Update
I’m on my second semester of university, having taken my first course this past summer during the summer semester. Last semester I took one course and this semester, after easing myself into my studies last semester, I’m taking two courses. I wanted to give an update on how that is going, some things I’ve learned […]
Sozopol, Pomorie, and Nessebar: Budget Solo Trip to Bulgaria, Day Four
Sozopol old town walls On my fourth day of my budget solo trip to Bulgaria, it was time for me to go from Burgas, where I had been staying, to Varna, where I’d be staying for the rest of my trip. I decided to stop along the way and see the things I’d missed, in […]
My Expenses After A Car Accident
As a relatively new driver, I didn’t have much experience with car accidents. I had one car accident using a rental car that ended up being a total loss when the steering wheel stopped working properly, but since it was a rental, I didn’t have to deal with the beaurocracy involved. I was involved in […]
Still Sick and Getting Fed Up
I wish this wasn’t the update I had for y’all. I wish my update for y’all was “Yay, everyone, I’m back to normal, fit as a fiddle and healthy again”. But my body has other plans. This is day 9 of my being sick. The Sunday of our trip to Italy I started coming down […]

Byala, Burgas and Hug Center Hostel: My Budget Solo Trip to Bulgaria, Day One:

My Upcoming Trip Abroad to Bulgaria
I’ve waited on tenterhooks for this day to get closer, but as it’s only four days away, I think it’s about time I share my next frugal trip abroad. The reason I didn’t share earlier is because I had a trip to Malta back in May that was canceled for reasons out of my control […]
Venous Eagle Syndrome: My “Idiopathic” Intracranial Pressure Has a Reason
I swear, I never intended for this blog to become a “Let’s talk about rare medical conditions” blog, but life happens. And as this blog reflects my life, and I become diagnosed with more and more things, I end up sharing what I learn, which makes this blog a repository of information about some uncommon […]
DIY Car Maintenance: Taking Care of Your Oil
This post will teach you an important money-saving skill: how to take care of the oil in your car. I learned it recently and wanted to share it as part of a story that, unfortunately, didn’t have a happy ending for me. I debated whether to post this at all because of what happened afterward, […]
