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

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

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

As I write this, neither my city nor state is under official quarantine. The state's number of COVID-19 cases is less than fifty, with no deaths, and few hospitalizations. Obviously, I hope that number stays low. In the meantime, schools have switched over to distance-learning; restaurants have switched to drive-thru, take-out, and delivery only, and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 22, 2020

It was my birthday week! I had a lovely, relaxing day that involved book shopping, dinner with friends, and cake. A lot of cake. I won't say there was too much cake, but there was definitely a lot of it. It was a great week for photos, too, with sunny days and clear skies, except … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: March 8, 2020

Quick update today. I was given yet another free camera at work. Sometimes, people will just drop things off because they don't know what to do with the camera gear they inherit. This time, it was an Olympus 35 SP rangefinder with a 42mm f/1.7 lens. These were made from the late 1960s to the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 1, 2020

Busy week! And one full of adulting. I had a dentist's appointment. I got the car's oil changed. I filed my taxes. Did laundry. Dusted and swept. All that boring stuff. I'm hoping this week brings less not-fun stuff. Like a day where I can sleep in. That would be great. Obligatory Mina Photo: On … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 23, 2020

Another quiet week here. I've been busy with work, reading, and writing. Or trying to write. I keep being distracted. By cats. You see, when you sit down in front of the computer to spend an hour writing, one or both of the cats-- no matter how deeply they seem to be sleeping-- will suddenly … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 16, 2020
