I had so much drive to go and do things this week. Then I woke up sick on Thursday and it killed all my energy. It was a minor respiratory infection, so nothing to worry about, but I've been coughing since Thursday and it's thrashed my throat. My voice is so scratchy it sounds like … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 12, 2020

2019 Year in Review
Now that 2020 is upon us, it's a good time to look back at 2019. It was a good year, overall, with a few rough spots that left me extremely stressed out until events were resolved. I didn't change jobs or move or anything, but I made some new friends, traveled a bit, and adopted … Continue reading 2019 Year in Review
Sunday Sum Up: December 29, 2019
After the busy madness in the lead-up to Christmas, I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and relax on Christmas Eve. I had an easy drive to my sister's house where I hung out with her family and our parents until the last of us went to bed around midnight. Christmas morning … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: December 29, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: December 22, 2019
It was the last full week before Christmas and a lot of the stress of the season has fallen away, although I still feel like I don't have enough time to get things done. This weekend, though, I have no obligations, so I can get All The Things done! Last night, for example, instead of … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: December 22, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: December 15, 2019
It's been a long, stressful week. Most of that stress was self-inflicted, but it was stress all the same and it didn't let up until Friday and Saturday. I feel much better now, and am ready to face another week. Obligatory Mina Photo (with a photo of Sidney, for good measure): They're both still … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: December 15, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: December 8, 2019
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
Sunday Sum Up: November 24, 2019
My friends are great. They just roll with it when I text them random questions, such as this: "Are grapes berries?" I asked a friend this question on Tuesday. Her initial response was, "I wouldn't consider them berries", and so I declared them to be 'fruit, en masse'. When we got together on Wednesday (not … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: November 24, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: November 17, 2019
This week was non-stop. Even on my day off, I didn't get more than a few minutes to sit down until I headed to dinner with friends. The reason I was so busy was that I spent the morning photographing one of the used bookshops downtown. They want to update their website, which includes updating … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: November 17, 2019
Sunday Sum-Up, November 10, 2019
My week's end was disrupted by cats. Instead of the quiet night which I was hoping for on Friday, I spent half the evening trying to separate Sidney and Mina. They were behaving like unruly children. Sidney kept hissing and swiping at Mina, even seeking her out to growl at her while she was hiding … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, November 10, 2019
