Overall, this was a tiring week. I spent most of my day off sorting and cleaning various art and crafting supplies, as well as rearranging my little studio. And fighting with my old printer, which had been on its last legs for quite some time. In a fortuitous happening, I was able to replace my … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: December 8, 2019

November Summary, December Preview
November was a good month overall, though work kept me busy. We've had snow and rain and beautiful days, and Mina continues to be completely adorable. It's weird to think that both a year and a decade are coming to an end. In my mind, the 90s were still last week, but we're staring … Continue reading November Summary, December Preview

October Summary, November Preview
October was, overall, a pretty good month. There were a few stumbling blocks at work (when isn't there?) and a couple of books that slowed me down a bit, but I can't complain about it, even if it was colder than normal. I will not complain about cooler temperatures. I finished fourteen books in October. … Continue reading October Summary, November Preview
Book Haul, via Iceland
I don't buy many souvenirs when I travel. My photographs serve that purpose well enough for me, and I pack so lightly that I don't have room for extra things. But I will seek out bookstores wherever I go and buy myself a book or two, and I try to find books that relate to … Continue reading Book Haul, via Iceland

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
