Whoever stopped by and picked up some windy days: Thank you! The lack of wind is much appreciated. It came along with some rainy days, which we needed so thank you for that, too. In other news, it's been a busy but not busy week. Work has been hectic, but my days off were mostly … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 8, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: May 1, 2022
I mentioned last week that you were all welcome to come and take some of our windy days, but it seems that no one took me up on the offer, and so we had another week's worth of wind. Just so you know, the offer still stands. You're all welcome to claim a few windy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 1, 2022

Another windy week around here. The winds were gusting enough that a few days ago, while I was walking down the street, I was almost blown over. It was kind of weird, and I'd rather not do it again. If someone would like some windy days, please feel free to come by and take them. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 24, 2022

This was a pretty laid-back week. Except for an attempted tornado on Tuesday night, when thunderstorms came through the area and there was some rain-wrapped cloud rotation happening above my neighborhood, but it never touched the ground so we didn't actually have a tornado. Huzzah. There was a bit of hail and rain along with … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 17, 2022

Do you ever have a week that starts out incredibly stressful because of a pair of problems at work that eats at your mind day and night, and you think it's going to be a disaster because they're not going to get solved, and then lo! Events fall into place in just the way you … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 10, 2022

Y'all, I'm tired. It was a hectic week at work, and even though home life was relaxing, there wasn't quite enough time to recover from the busy days. But today, I plan to read, write, and perhaps go for a nice long walk if it doesn't rain later. Obligatory Mina Photo: I've been watching photographic … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 3, 2022

It's been a quiet week around here, with some real rain and snow (and rain and snow at once), plenty of relaxing on my part (and on the cats' parts), along with plenty of reading and writing. It's nice to have weeks like this. I'll be heading over to friends' house to watch The Oscars … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 27, 2022

Busy week! I went out and. . . did stuff. I haven't done stuff for a long time. Tuesday night, I went out for drinks with a couple of coworkers. We ended up going to two different places because of the first place's early closing time. We had a good time, and we barely talked … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 20, 2022

I took a couple of days off from work last week. I had plans. But as Robbie Burns once said, "The best laid schemes 'o mice an' men/ Gang aft agley" My little mouse plans definitely went awry. Obligatory Mina Photo: This kid is the one who made my plans go awry. It started on … Continue reading Sunday SumUp: March 13, 2022

It happened at last. After weeks and weeks of me complaining about the lack of snow or rain and how the dry weather was contributing to a spate of brushfires across the state, the things that seemed impossible finally happened: It rained. Friday night, after a day of increasing cloudiness, we had a brief rain … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 6, 2022
