Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019
I took a break from my normal Sunday Sum-Up routine last week. My computer was misbehaving, and I wasn't feeling particularly well. Nothing serious for either me or the computer, fortunately. I had a bit of a sore throat and a cough that for some reason reminded me of Jane Bennett but without the ability … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 04/21/2019

We had a taste of autumnal weather this week-- rainy, with daily highs around 75°F. It was perfect. Until Friday came around, and the temperatures hopped back up to 90°F with humidity somewhere above 80%. Just standing outside makes a person feel miserable. Get here soon, Fall! Because it was so cloudy for most of … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up

We were expecting wind and thunderstorms, and in certain parts of the southeastern corner of the state, people were on the lookout for tornadoes. Meanwhile in the western part of the state, there was a blizzard that hit us yesterday. Not … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

My couch has arrived! Well, it got here a few days ago, but I'm still bathing in the domestic glow that seems to come with new furniture. It's weird how a single couch can change your entire living space. I had to move some things around- like the cedar chest that used to double as … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

I've been sick with a cold all week long. I thought I could ward it off with a lot of tea and an early bedtime last Sunday, but to no avail. It got me anyway, and I've had a stuffy nose and a cough ever since then. While cold medication exists, it does make me … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
Sunday Sum-Up, or, Of Mice in Pants
It's been a funny week around here. Fortunately, because it's only warmed up a little from our New Year's Day low of -19°F. When you're stuck inside because it's freezing cold and windy out, you want something to lift your spirits and the long, dark nights are not helping with that. I've been watching a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, or, Of Mice in Pants

First off, I saw a total solar eclipse. For many, it's a bucket list item they'll travel for hours and hours to see. What lengths did I go to see it? I went to work. As we were in the path of totality, a lot of businesses closed for at least part of the day, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
