Sunday Sum-Up: August 9, 2020

I use Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks in part because … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 9, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: August 2, 2020
Another week has gone, and I'm bidding it good riddance. Mostly. Work was crazy busy again, but the weather was great. It has cooled off far more than I expected it to, and we're expecting lows in the 50ºF (10ºC) range. That's practically autumnal!

Sunday Sum-Up: July 26, 2020
So. Last week is over. Hooray. The first half of the workweek was incredibly busy, and I'm glad it's over. I'd get home at night and just flop on the couch and not want to do anything at all except watch a bit of television. Which I did. Some of it was more enjoyable than … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 26, 2020
