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

Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020
I mentioned temperature jumps last week, and we got them this week. On Sunday, it reached 93°F (34°C), and on Tuesday, our high was 45°F (7°C). It wasn't quite as dramatic of a jump as they had in Denver, where it reached 101°F on Sunday, and was snowing by Tuesday, but it was still a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020

After a cold and wet spring that turned into a hot dry summer overnight, I had forgotten that Nebraska enjoys temperature jumps during transitional seasons, so one day it will be 92, and the next it will be 77. The closer we get to the autumnal equinox, the wackier the temperature jumps will be. Today, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 6, 2020

The National Weather Service is considering adjusting the system of warnings, watches, advisories, and statements it uses on the weather map on its website. I hope the go through with this because when you're checking the weather (which I do often, because Nebraska weather changes every ten minutes) and you see an orange advisory for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 30, 2020

The week where the neighbors do their level best to scare the hell out of my cats is now over. As I had no plans to go anywhere for Independence Day and I don't like lighting fireworks off, I spent the evening indoors with headphones on listening to music while trying to write and read … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 5, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: June 28, 2020
So I've had a good week. Nothing mind-blowingly happy happened, but nothing horrible happened, either, and I got a lot of things done on my day off. Work was busy, but not so busy I wanted to scream (although as soon as you notice that a few of the light bulbs have gone out, it's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 28, 2020

Ever have one of those weeks that gets away from you? Like you wake up on Monday morning, and then you blink and it's Saturday night and you feel like you've gotten pretty much nothing done? That was my week. Fun. I blame the heat for killing my focus. We have another hot week ahead. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 14, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: June 7, 2020
So. That was a week. Here's a day-by-day rundown, because that's what it needs. Sunday: I spent the morning in debate: do I stay home because of COVID-19, or do I go to the Black Lives Matter demonstration at the capitol in the afternoon? Eventually, I had to act as my conscience dictated and went … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 7, 2020

Remember last weekend, how I wanted a reset to see about having a better week? Well, I had a better week, mostly. A rainy holiday weekend, easy days of work, and I've been sleeping better. So for me, a great week. Obligatory Mina Photo: Don't let that adorable face and those big eyes fool you. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 31, 2020

It's already May 10th. Wow. May's flying by in a way that not even April managed. We're going to blink, and it will be June. I wonder what sort of madness 2020 has in store for us then? Obligatory Mina Photo: I have to close the bathroom door when I leave for work these … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 10, 2020
