On Friday, we had a blizzard. This week, it's supposed to be in the 50s. I suppose it could be worse, weather-wise. We've had weeks (usually in March or May) where we got a foot of snow one day, and had 90°F highs a week later. Nebraska weather is fun. Is anyone else anticipating Biden's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 17, 2021

Best Cat Photos of 2020: Sidney
Because I'm quite sure that some of you only follow this blog for the sake of the weekly cat updates, I figured I would share the best photos I took of my cats as part of the Photo 365 project I completed last year. And because Mina is the cutest member of his household, and … Continue reading Best Cat Photos of 2020: Sidney

Fall and winter are popular times for baking. And sometimes people are passionate about getting just the right ingredients. Do you know how I know that? Because when I went grocery shopping the other day, I needed to pick up buttermilk for the Irish soda bread I plan to make later today. I wandered to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 20, 2020

So one of my co-workers was (gently) teasing me because I had bought the cats a package of super fancy treats for Christmas (1. Yes, I bought my pets Christmas presents, and yes, I know they probably won't care; 2. They have more toys than they can play with and plenty of soft and cozy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 13, 2020

At work, we're not having to work Sundays for the first time in forever. Since at least before I started working there, and that's been a long time. I love that I'm not working six days a week in December, but I don't love the reasons for it. But it is nice to be able … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 6, 2020

First off: I know that voicemail is an archaic technology and that all the cool kids are using the snazzy new messaging apps (whatever they are), but can we all agree that listening to a voicemail message from a business you're working with doesn't take that long, and can save a lot of confusion if … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, November 29, 2020

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com Okay, y'all. This post is going to be a trip. As I write this, I have had.... four glasses of celebratory wine? And also lots of sugar. So this past week, with the election results taking approximately five years to be announced, my attention span was basically non-existent. I did … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 8, 2020

I had to take Sidney in for his vaccinations on Wednesday. He gets extremely stressed out when he goes to the veterinarian (read: angry and striking out at everything and everyone), so he has to be sedated. This means I drop him off early and pick him up a couple of hours later, after he's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 25, 2020

Another quiet week on the blog, due in part to a lack of time and in part to some annoying computer issues which I think I've mostly solved. They weren't disrupting my ability to do things, just slowing the system down and making it take twice as long. I've been working on crochet projects, but … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, October 18, 2020
