Last week I was. . . what do we call it again? Busy. That's what it was. I was busy. I went out and did things. With people. Wow. Granted, there was work involved. We weren't just out wandering about. But it was bookish. On my day off, I went to the used bookshop well … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 23, 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: October 17, 2021
I had thought this week was going to be stressful because we were understaffed all week at work due to some vacations, but it turned out to be okay. Which was great. I was relieved when each working day went by and it was just busy enough to make the time pass without making me … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 17, 2021

Where did last week go? It seemed like it was Sunday, then I went to a nearby state park to go hiking, and now it's Sunday again. So I ask again: where did last week go? But hiking! So I got up a bit early on my day off and headed out to the park. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 10, 2021

And like that, it was October. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com The first couple of days of October have been particularly autumnal. It's been cool and cloudy, and constantly threatening rain.

September got the memo about its being Spooky Season. Usually, the first couple of weeks of September are hot and dry, but it's been much cooler (in the upper-70s°F to mid-80s°F) with a reasonable amount of rain. We had a couple of flash flood warnings pop up when some storms were coming in, but there … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 5, 2021

Sunday Sum-Up: February 21, 2021
There's a question people around here tend to ask when the weather gets extreme: "Is it _____ enough for you?". Fill in the blank with 'hot' in the summer, 'windy' on a blustery day, 'wet' on a rainy day, etc., etc.. This past week, the key word was 'cold'. And yes, it was cold enough … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 21, 2021

Nine more days until Biden's inauguration. They can't pass quickly enough. Obligatory Mina Photo: My day off started quietly enough. I slept in a little, ran a couple of errands, and was ironing some laundry when there was a resounding crash from the bathroom. I unplugged the iron, then went to see what had happened. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 10, 2020

Happy Birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien! The Professor was born on this day in 1892 in Orange Free State in what is now South Africa.

I made plokkfiskur again, watched The Fellowship of the Ring, and finished reading The Return of … Continue reading Sunday Sum-up, January 3, 2020
