It's been ridiculously hot again this week. I'm done with summer. I've been done with summer for a while. These 110°F heat indices are not for me. I want some sweater weather! In other news, I spent my usual day off at work to cover for a vacationing co-worker, so I did his job for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 7, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: July 31, 2022
This past week was quite a lovely one weather-wise, though I didn't get to go out and enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. There were a few long walks, a trip to my neighborhood coffee shop, and dinner with friends, but not so much with the outside goings-on. Unfortunately, another predicted heatwave … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 31, 2022

Book Haul: Windfall Edition
It's been a while since I did a book haul, mostly because I pick up books here and there and keeping track of them and setting them aside for a single book haul isn't practical for me. But I've recently had two windfalls that brought me a bunch of books all at once: one full … Continue reading Book Haul: Windfall Edition
Sunday Sum-Up: July 24, 2022
Last week was hot, and good riddance to it. Although, the cold (relatively speaking) front that came through last night could have been a little less dramatic, as it caused the temperature to drop about twenty degrees Fahrenheit in about half an hour, as well as causing some nasty thunderstorms across the state. But it … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 24, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: July 17, 2022
I survived the busy work week! Huzzah. It was not as tiring as I thought it would be, but it wasn't exactly a lazy few days. I'm looking forward to a nice day off full of reading and writing. I will probably end up listening to podcasts and drawing instead, because that's just what I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 17, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: July 10, 2022
And after an unplanned hiatus, I'm back. I had a family thing a couple of weeks ago, a week of lousy sleep, busy days at work, and a good deal of existential dread. The family thing is over, and while work isn't any slower but I've been sleeping much better. The existential dread remains. Obligatory … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 10, 2022

June Summary, July Preview
We're into summer now. It is my least favorite season, as I loathe the heat and humidity it brings. It also brings me a lot of insomnia, as the shortened nights mean that my brain decides it's time to wake up as soon as sunrise comes around and there's not a lot I can do … Continue reading June Summary, July Preview
