So as it turns out, when I have shortened hours at work, am stuck at home, and am not working on a 70,000-word story, I have a lot of free time. So I read. A lot. I did other things, too, but reading was the bulk of my week. Obligatory Mina Photo: The windows have … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 3, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: April 26, 2020
It's been a quiet week around here. I baked, I cooked, I wrote, I read. I'm quite proud of the cooking and baking. I don't do very much of either, but I bought a cookbook written for people in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). They do medieval/early modern reenactments, and their goal is to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 26, 2020

I thought it would take about a thousand years to get through April, but it's moving right along. Which is fine. It's starting to look like there might be a faint point of light waaaaaay down at the end of this stay-at-home tunnel... Obligatory Mina Photo: On Wednesday afternoon, I was brewing some tea. It's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 19, 2020

Busy week! And one full of adulting. I had a dentist's appointment. I got the car's oil changed. I filed my taxes. Did laundry. Dusted and swept. All that boring stuff. I'm hoping this week brings less not-fun stuff. Like a day where I can sleep in. That would be great. Obligatory Mina Photo: On … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 23, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: February 16, 2020
Another quiet week here. I've been busy with work, reading, and writing. Or trying to write. I keep being distracted. By cats. You see, when you sit down in front of the computer to spend an hour writing, one or both of the cats-- no matter how deeply they seem to be sleeping-- will suddenly … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 16, 2020

I accomplished less than I hoped for this past week, but when a co-worker invites you to Star Trek trivia night at his favorite taproom, you go to Star Trek Trivia night. So after work on Tuesday, we met up with a couple of his friends, ordered some pizza, and proceeded to place second in … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 2, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up- January 19, 2020
After a week of dealing with a cold, I'm starting to both feel and sound like myself again. It's frustrating how a minor illness can wear me out so much, because there were so many things I wanted to get done. Alas. But I'm feeling better and have an array of things to do today, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up- January 19, 2020
Sunday Sum Up: December 15, 2019
It's been a long, stressful week. Most of that stress was self-inflicted, but it was stress all the same and it didn't let up until Friday and Saturday. I feel much better now, and am ready to face another week. Obligatory Mina Photo (with a photo of Sidney, for good measure): They're both still … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: December 15, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: December 1, 2019
Thanks to bad weather and other family things going on at the opposite ends of the state, I did not go to my parents' house for Thanksgiving. Nor did I attend Thanksgiving dinner with my sister's family, who went to another part of the state entirely. I had that rarest of things: two days off … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: December 1, 2019

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
