I got my first Covid vaccination shot last week! At a grocery store, because 2021 is weird like that. I dressed up in my (mildly) frilly Steampunk-esque skirt and Edwardian replica shoes and hairstyle. It was glorious. One step closer to something like normal! I'm scheduled to get my second shot in a little under … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 4, 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: March 21, 2021
I have lived in Nebraska all my life, and thus have experienced some strange weather. Christmas Day tornadoes. Softball-sized hail. Derechos. Thundersnow. All sorts of weather weirdness. But Monday brought my first encounter with muddy rain. A dust storm in Texas sent dust and dirt high into the atmosphere where it combined with a storm … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 21, 2021

Quiet week around here. Sunny. Warm. Productive. Birthday-like. While it wasn't on the exact day of my birthday, I went downtown on my day off. I had two missions: go to the chandler to check out their new oatmeal stout candle, and then visit the adorable bakery in that neighborhood to buy myself a piece … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 7, 2021

We had a little snowstorm last Sunday, and you can bet I went for a walk in the middle of it. It was so quiet and beautiful that I spent about an hour and a half wandering about. Definitely worth the cold fingers. Once I got home, I stayed home where it was warm and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 28, 2021

We got more snow this week! Another couple of inches at random throughout the week, and then all Saturday morning we got the fluffiest snow in the history of ever. Seriously fluffy dry snow that you could blow off your car if the wind hadn't already done it for you. It's supposed to be cold … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 7, 2021

We got so much snow! A snowstorm came through on Monday. It started snowing around 4:00 or 5:00AM, and it continued snowing heavily until about 11:00 that night. I went to work for a whole three hours before we closed up and went home, and it took me twice as along to get here as … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 31, 2021

On Friday, we had a blizzard. This week, it's supposed to be in the 50s. I suppose it could be worse, weather-wise. We've had weeks (usually in March or May) where we got a foot of snow one day, and had 90°F highs a week later. Nebraska weather is fun. Is anyone else anticipating Biden's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 17, 2021

So one of my co-workers was (gently) teasing me because I had bought the cats a package of super fancy treats for Christmas (1. Yes, I bought my pets Christmas presents, and yes, I know they probably won't care; 2. They have more toys than they can play with and plenty of soft and cozy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 13, 2020

At work, we're not having to work Sundays for the first time in forever. Since at least before I started working there, and that's been a long time. I love that I'm not working six days a week in December, but I don't love the reasons for it. But it is nice to be able … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 6, 2020

Another quiet week on the blog, due in part to a lack of time and in part to some annoying computer issues which I think I've mostly solved. They weren't disrupting my ability to do things, just slowing the system down and making it take twice as long. I've been working on crochet projects, but … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, October 18, 2020
