Busy week! I went out and. . . did stuff. I haven't done stuff for a long time. Tuesday night, I went out for drinks with a couple of coworkers. We ended up going to two different places because of the first place's early closing time. We had a good time, and we barely talked … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 20, 2022

I took a couple of days off from work last week. I had plans. But as Robbie Burns once said, "The best laid schemes 'o mice an' men/ Gang aft agley" My little mouse plans definitely went awry. Obligatory Mina Photo: This kid is the one who made my plans go awry. It started on … Continue reading Sunday SumUp: March 13, 2022

It happened at last. After weeks and weeks of me complaining about the lack of snow or rain and how the dry weather was contributing to a spate of brushfires across the state, the things that seemed impossible finally happened: It rained. Friday night, after a day of increasing cloudiness, we had a brief rain … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 6, 2022

An update on the book hostage situation: my friend texted me early in the week to tell me she had finished both of the mystery novels I had loaned her, that she was looking forward to the next installment in the series, and that she would like her new book back. We're meeting up mid-week … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 27, 2022

It's been another dry week around here. The National Weather Service predicted zero precipitation, and that was what we got. Except on Thursday evening, when the sky clouded over and it suddenly started snowing. It didn't last long, and it didn't collect. Really all it did was get the ground wet, but after three weeks … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 30, 2022

Another week has come and gone, and it was fine. Nothing terrible happened, nothing amazing. Just a nice row of days with a bit of stress from work, which was nothing I couldn't handle with the application of coffee or a cookie at the end of the day. I stopped by the used bookstore downtown … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 23, 2022

Last week was much better than the week before. No minor disasters, and a small snowstorm on Friday. Not too bad at all! Thanks to things being postponed due to rampant disease, I spent most of my evenings at home, reading, and watching Dune, which came out on DVD on Tuesday. I did go out … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 16, 2022

I'm so glad last week is over. I had a lovely weekend. Three days off with nothing to do and weather that encouraged people to stay home (snowy and cold). I got extra sleep, I baked, I read, I got caught up on some TV shows. Overall, a great weekend. The rest of the week... … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 9, 2021

Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a safe new year's celebration, and that you didn't indulge too much and end up feeling awful yesterday morning. Thanks to an incoming winter storm, I spent New Year's Eve at home alone again. The forecast stated that the snow would probably start around 10:00 on … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 2, 2022
