Another week of "the best-laid plans" going awry. I made plans. Lots of plans. And... most of them didn't happen because things came up instead. Like a lengthier-than-expected car repair that unexpectedly left me at a shopping area that doesn't have much in the way of shopping (at least not shopping I'm interested in) for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 2, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: August 21, 2022
It was an up-and-down week. I had four days off, from Sunday to Wednesday, and I got plenty of reading, sewing, writing, and general relaxing done. My mending pile is much shorter now. I finished a couple of books I'd been meaning to read, and I've mostly drafted the next chapter of my ongoing fantasy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 21, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: July 31, 2022
This past week was quite a lovely one weather-wise, though I didn't get to go out and enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. There were a few long walks, a trip to my neighborhood coffee shop, and dinner with friends, but not so much with the outside goings-on. Unfortunately, another predicted heatwave … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 31, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: May 29, 2022
It's been a bit of a dreary week around here. We had straight three days of rain, which isn't the most common type of weather around here, and while I appreciate a proper gloomy day, it gets less appreciable as puddles turn to ponds and you can't go anywhere without getting at least a bit … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 29, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: May 22, 2022
An odd week around here. It was hot for the first part of the week, and then it got cold-- so I had to run my air conditioner most of the day on Wednesday, and by Thursday night the radiators were back on. Oh, Nebraska. You do love your weird weather. The carpet layers finally … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 22, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: May 15, 2022
Every now and then, I suffer from bouts of insomnia, and this week another one started up so I've been a bit muzzy-headed and sleepy. Cue the morning coffee and Diet Coke and the knowledge that one of these days I'll get through it and I'll be sleeping normally again. Until then, I just have … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 15, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: January 9, 2021
I'm so glad last week is over. I had a lovely weekend. Three days off with nothing to do and weather that encouraged people to stay home (snowy and cold). I got extra sleep, I baked, I read, I got caught up on some TV shows. Overall, a great weekend. The rest of the week... … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 9, 2021
Sunday Sum-Up: December 12, 2021
Late update today for two reasons: I went over to my friends' house last night for one reason, and eded up staying over for another reason-- to watch the NCAA Division I volleyball tournament, because Nebraska was playing Texas in the Elite Eight. The game didn't start until 9:00, and while I usually just listen … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 12, 2021
Sunday Sum-Up: November 21, 2021
Remember last weekend when I said I thought it would be a nice, quiet week? Yeah, that didn't happen. This past week was super busy at work. But at least I got a lot done at home, even if I felt like I was running in circles at work all week. I'll be doing a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 21, 2021
Sunday Sum-Up: September 26, 2021
It's been a lovely autumnal week around here. I've gone for long walks (but didn't take any photos, oddly) and generally just enjoyed the cool nights and clear days. After a long, hot summer I'm happy to have nighttime lows a little above freezing. When I look at the weather map, the alerts for the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 26, 2021
