So. Last week is over. Hooray. The first half of the workweek was incredibly busy, and I'm glad it's over. I'd get home at night and just flop on the couch and not want to do anything at all except watch a bit of television. Which I did. Some of it was more enjoyable than … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 26, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: July 19, 2020
When my friends' child was about three years old, she would look at any new food and declare, "I don't like it!". She used an identical cadence every time she said it, and I heard it so often that I can recall it perfectly, even though she is now seven and hasn't said it for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 19, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: June 21, 2020
The heatwave broke! Finally. A front moved in on Thursday and brought storms along with it-- high winds, heavy rain, and plenty of thunder and lightning. And also a microburst, because why not? The marginally cooler weather will last for another week at least, so hooray for that. 85°F I can live with. 95°F and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 21, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: June 14, 2020
Ever have one of those weeks that gets away from you? Like you wake up on Monday morning, and then you blink and it's Saturday night and you feel like you've gotten pretty much nothing done? That was my week. Fun. I blame the heat for killing my focus. We have another hot week ahead. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 14, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: June 7, 2020
So. That was a week. Here's a day-by-day rundown, because that's what it needs. Sunday: I spent the morning in debate: do I stay home because of COVID-19, or do I go to the Black Lives Matter demonstration at the capitol in the afternoon? Eventually, I had to act as my conscience dictated and went … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 7, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: May 17, 2020
Another week has gone swiftly by. We're slowly going back to our regular hours at work, which is strange to get used to again after a month of four-day workweeks. What else is weird is getting used to wearing masks most of the day. The ones I use like to slide upward while I talk, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 17, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: May 10, 2020
It's already May 10th. Wow. May's flying by in a way that not even April managed. We're going to blink, and it will be June. I wonder what sort of madness 2020 has in store for us then? Obligatory Mina Photo: I have to close the bathroom door when I leave for work these … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 10, 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
Sunday Sum-Up: April 12, 2020
Have the days been smearing together for everyone else? They've been smearing together for me. I felt like I had a smattering of Wednesdays and Thursdays and half a Saturday. It's been a weird week, but I did make it to the grocery store on one of those Wednesdays and got everything I needed. Hooray. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 12, 2020
