a_natural_beautyNovember 2023 questions! Just one more month to go! ^^;; Here is the list if anyone is curious. https://jo.dreamwidth.org/2802730.html#cutid1
1 – Extra Mile Day: When was the last time you went the extra mile for someone, or someone went the extra mile for you? Tell us about it.
Well I'm not sure... I guess the last few times I helped anyone was when I paid a vet bill for Wiley when Mike needed me to and he paid me back of course. Anna (my sister) a few weeks ago needed a ride home from work when her car wasn't starting... those two come to mind. A few weeks ago when I was very sick with a stomach bug Mike helped take care of me.
2 – Stress Awareness Day: How stressful is your everyday life? How well do you deal with stress? Do you have any tried-and-true strategies for handling stress?
I sometimes can handle stress better than other times. It depends on what the stress is from. But usually I can help my stress by going for a walk or reading or doing something to get my mind off of my worries. Being outside helps in general I feel.
3 – Sandwich Day: Do you like sandwiches? What's your favourite sandwich filling?
Yes! Gosh, I love so many. I've had a recent taste for egg salad sandwiches so I may make those soon. But I love lunch meat sandwiches and the other day I had a tasty egg, bacon and cheese croissant sandwich at my parents that was delicious!
4 – Candy Day: Do you have a sweet tooth? What's your favourite candy?
Anything chocolate covered! I'm not big into chewy candies or gummies or sour stuff. Just give me the chocolate :-p
5 – Zero Tasking Day: The extra hour we get when daylight savings times change is often heralded as an opportunity for extra productivity, activity and ‘doing’. However, given that we’re all already ‘owed’ an hour every other time it changes, it seems a little unfair to expect us to work through it – as such, Zero Tasking Day is designed to dedicate this hour to ‘me time’, encouraging rest, relaxation and a distinct lack of work. How will you spend (or did you spend if you changed your clocks before this weekend), your extra hour? If you live somewhere that doesn't observe daylight savings time, what would you do if you had an extra hour of 'me time'?
Usually it's sleep that helps me get back on track when it comes to daylight savings time! So that's what happens honestly!
6 – Job Action Day: It is often suggested that people should focus on finding a job that they love. Today it is suggested that you should take your passions and bring them to the job you have, i.e. find a way to instill your love and passion for a particular career into any work you come into. Do you think this is good advice?
Yes, this is always good advice! We spend so much time at work - it might as well be something you are passionate about or that makes you happy and feel fulfilled.
7 – Hug a Bear Day: How do you feel about stuffed toys? Did you have a favourite teddy bear or other stuffed toy as a child? Do you have one now?
I still have stuffed toys! And have recently gotten two from Build-a-bear! Yes, I usually had a stuffed dog or animal of some kind as a kid. One of my favorites was this stuffed cow in a yellow dress... I still have her. :)
8 – Eating Healthy Day: How do you define eating healthily? Do you consider your diet to be healthy?
Adding more fruits and veggies to your diet. Eating less meat possibly? Eating less since I personally feel Americans eat far too much. I don't think I have a totally healthy diet, I could always use some improvement.
9 – British Pudding Day: Have you ever had British pudding? What is your favourite type of pudding?
No, I don't think I have had that! But chocolate or butterscotch regular pudding are my favorites.
10 – November is National Novel Writing Month: Have you ever taken part in National Novel Writing Month? How did it go?
No, but my boyfriend Mike does it. I think it's a nice project.
11 – Origami Day: Have you ever done origami?
No, but I've had some patients at work make me two birds I keep in my kitchen. And I bought this origami bird decoration somewhere over the years that I have hung up in my art room that is pretty.
12 – International Tongue Twister Day: Are you good at tongue twisters? What's your favourite tongue twister? And to take a different meaning of tongue twister, can you literally twist or crinkle the edge your tongue?
No, I'm not a fan! ^^;;
13 – World Kindness Day: What was the last kind thing someone did for you? What was the last kind thing you did for someone else?
My coworkers and boss helped me get grievance time off for a relative that just passed away this week. They are sort of funny about who counts for all of that and she wasn't biological at first it didn't get approve but then it did and I don't think it would of unless my coworkers said something in my favor. I wasn't expecting that, so it was thoughtful and kind of them.
14 – Loosen Up Lighten Up Day: Do you need to loosen up or lighten up?
Sometimes I think I do.
15 – Recycling Day: Do you recycle?
Yes, but I fear what I am cleaning out and putting together in the bins isn't going to the right place. :-/
16 – Button Day: Do you have a stash of buttons? Does or did someone in your family have such a collection?
Yes! I do! And people in my family have had collections, too. I love buttons and never know when I'll need one.
17 – Take a Hike Day: When was the last time you took a hike?
Maybe this past summer? Gosh, I'm trying to remember. I'd like to go on more hikes this year. That's a personal goal of mine.
18 – Princess Day: What is your opinion of Disney princesses? How do you feel about real life princesses?
Eh, I could take them or leave them honestly. Real life princesses seem to have complicated lives. I write about a princess in my comic and story who is unhappy about her future role to get married to a prince someday.
19 – Play Monopoly Day: Have you ever played Monopoly? Did you enjoy it?
Yes, I hate that game. XD
20 – Name Your PC Day: Does your PC (or laptop) have a name?
No, and I should! I'll get back to you on that!
21 – World Television Day: Did you watch TV as a child? Do you still watch TV? How much TV do you watch per week on average?
Yes, I usually watch it at other people's houses or at work. When the T.V is on in my house it's either Youtube or a movie of some kind. I'm not a huge T.V. person. Sometimes I watch more or less. This past week I only watched a bit of youtube since my firestick has been down and out.
22 – Go For a Ride Day: Do you ride anything? e.g. horse, motorcycle, sled, etc. When was the last time you rode?
I have rode motorcycles in the past and I've rode horses in the past.
23 – Espresso Day: Do you drink coffee? How do you drink your coffee?
No, I don't drink coffee. Give me some tea or hot chocolate! :-p
24 – Flossing Day: Do you floss regularly?
Yes, I do!
25 – Shopping Reminder Day: Shopping Reminder Day falls roughly a month before Christmas, and as such it’s the perfect reminder to go ahead and get started on all of your holiday shopping. How do you feel about holiday shopping? Do you need a reminder to go shopping for holiday gifts?
I hate shopping in general. It gives me a certain kind of anxiety. Holiday shopping is way worse.
26 – Cake Day: Cake or pie? Or something else?
Why not have both! ;-)
27 – Pins and Needles Day: Can you sew, either by hand or by machine? What was the last thing you sewed?
I sew by hand! A few months ago when I was fixing some of my work pants by sewing patches on them.
28 – French Toast Day: Do you like French toast?
Yes, I love it.
29 – Throw Out Your Leftovers Day: How do you feel about leftovers? Are you happy to eat the same food more than once in a row, or do you crave variety in your diet? Do you take leftovers home from a restaurant when/if you eat out?
I love leftovers and try to gobble them up before they go bad since I hate wasting food. Yes, I take leftovers home from restaurants. I try to order smaller meals when I go out to avoid this happening.
30 – Stay Home Because Your Well Day: Have you ever taken a mental health day from your job, or just decided not to go to work even though you weren't sick, because you felt like staying home or for some other reason?
Yes, in the past I have taken mental health days from work. I haven't so much from this job since I feel the last few years I've been doing better with my mental health.
1 – Extra Mile Day: When was the last time you went the extra mile for someone, or someone went the extra mile for you? Tell us about it.
