One of these days

What’s on your desk that makes you happy or smile?

My desk/cubicle is adorned with, what else, photos! You know how I love my photos.

To be honest, the majority are of Sid but I have photos of all the kids. Current ones, old ones. Photos of my parents. Some are in frames, others are tacked to the walls.

I also have little plastic dinosaur figurines that Sid painted, posed on shelves. And then other cheapy Dollarama decorations that spoke to me plus a string of multi-coloured, homemade knit tassels.

I have pictures torn from colouring books that Sid coloured and a “portrait” of me that a coworker sketched.

Oh and a set of fake teeth, (for teaching).

My desk is L shaped and usually an organized mess.

On the bookshelves behind me are my binders from the different courses I teach. Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty is propped up there to, to remind me.

There is a rubber penis and vagina that are used on the mannequins in the Nursing Lab for teaching purposes. Also a black light and some cream that I use to show the students how important proper handwashing is.

In other news, I wanted to give a shoutout to BeingKevin for outright OFFERING to make a website for my non-profit, The Sidney Project. When he asked if I’d ever considered a stand alone website for it, I replied that well, yes, but I know how much websites cost and I don’t have that kind of money to put towards it. He offered to make it free of charge! It looks amazing and I am so grateful.

I never thought in a million years, TSP would have a home besides its own FB page. Having an actual website makes TSP more real, more professional and gives potential donors more access.

Thank you so very much Kevin!

Perfectly cluttered
I need to get some plants!

  6. Thanks to BeingKevin! The site looks great, too.

    Also I love in-the-moment snaps and especially desk pics, because it’s an area we spend busy time in, so can forget what’s there for long periods of time.

      1. I was thinking, well, it’s WordPress glitch again since before, I was unsubscribed to my dear readers I regularly commented to.

        No worries, CJ. I understand your fat fingers.😁

        Happy Tuesday and stay amazing.

  8. I don’t have a desk anymore but my coffee table is pretty cluttered with tech, coffee table travel books and books about Vietnam (current plan in progress), my published blog book that my son did for me, tissues, notebooks, magazines and nearly always an empty teacup ( I am British after all)!
    I’ve pinned your new website to look at later, first impressions are very good πŸ‘
