Hello, October! Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com The weather has been positively lovely. Now it just needs to NOT end up being in the 80+F range at the end of the week, and I'll be thrilled. It also needs to rain. Because it was beautiful on my day off, I headed downtown and wandered around … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 4, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020
I mentioned temperature jumps last week, and we got them this week. On Sunday, it reached 93°F (34°C), and on Tuesday, our high was 45°F (7°C). It wasn't quite as dramatic of a jump as they had in Denver, where it reached 101°F on Sunday, and was snowing by Tuesday, but it was still a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020

A few things from the week: On my day off, I drove all the way down to the botanical garden to photograph the flowers and whatnot, only to get there, have a lovely shot lined up, and then realize that my camera had no memory cards in it, and I had left my regular camera … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 16, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: July 26, 2020
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

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

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

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
