Just a short update this week. I was out late for a wonderfully nerdy reason: marching band! My nephew plays mellophone in his high school's marching band, and the state finals were last night. I made it there with fifteen minutes to spare before his school performed (no thanks to suburban parking) and shivered through … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: October 27, 2019

Sunday Sum Up: October 20, 2019
As much as I love October, I'm happy to be done with last week. It was a weird week. It started out quiet and slow and then was incredibly busy from Thursday through Saturday.

I had zero plans, except for cleaning my apartment and reading. I did go out with a friend on Friday evening. We wanted … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- August 4, 2019

I hate summer. It's only just begun. *sighs* On a less dreadful note, I did have a lovely beginning to the week. Last Sunday I went to the Farmers' Market and bought a jar of homemade blackberry jam, a box of cardamom-flavored cookies, and a bouquet of flowers that included several purple lisianthuses. They've stayed … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 06/30/2019
