The autumnal equinox passed last week, but thanks to an ongoing drought and a brief cold snap, the leaves started turning a few weeks ago, and have been falling every since. Because I live in a neighborhood with a lot of old trees, it's been particularly autumnal every time I look out the window. I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 27, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: September 6, 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 started out well when my local NPR station was playing Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade on my way to work. It's one of my favorite symphonic pieces, and it was a good omen for what ended up being a pretty good week. My 2021 planner arrived on Wednesday. I use Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks in part because … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 9, 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

Well. This was a weird week. Let's not do all that over again, okay? If I can get a good night's sleep in the next day or so, can we just reset over the long weekend and try that one again? Obligatory Mina Photo: I have two cats as roommates. I know how toys disappear … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 24, 2020

So. This has been a week. Social distancing is the name of the game to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It's not every day that everyone is encouraged to stay at home and read a book. Unfortunately, my job doesn't allow me to work from home, so I still have to go in. We've been … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 15, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: January 5, 2020
I celebrated the New Year by ordering Chinese food, watching The Lord of the Rings movies, and making bad puns. Really bad puns. Aside from my attempts at comedy, this past week was wonderfully relaxing. Though I didn't get extra time off from work for the holiday, I felt like I could just sit down … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 5, 2020
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. By the time I got home from work on Friday, I didn't have the energy to do anything but flop on … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: October 20, 2019
