Winter seems to have arrived here, having fallen from warm, almost spring-like weather earlier this week to positively wintry, sub-freezing temperatures. We even had some snow flurries yesterday! I was excited. My co-workers, less so. We got a bit of much-needed rain on Thursday morning, but otherwise, it's been fairly dry. Still. I'm hoping that … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 13, 2022

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: November 14, 2021
It's been a rather gloomy week around here, with cold temperatures, rain, and a bit of snow. I was happy to see the snow, even if there was too little of it and too much wind for it to actually collect. But it was a reminder that winter is on its way, and that makes … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 14, 2021
Classic Remarks: Spooky Classics
Classic Remarks is a meme hosted by Krysta and Brianna at Pages Unbound. Each week, they pose a question about classic works of literature in order for readers to engage in a continuing conversation about elements of classic literature, the literary ‘canon’, and the timelessness of story.

Sunday Sum-Up: January 12, 2020
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
Sunday Sum-Up, November 3, 2019
Another short wrap-up again, as I was out late again last night because of another musical thing. In this case, it was literally a musical. The Phantom of the Opera finally came to the local performing arts center, so my sister and I got to see it together live! We've been wanting to do so … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, November 3, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: October 27, 2019
Just a short update this week. I was out late for a wonderfully nerdy reason: marching band! My nephew plays mellophone in his high school's marching band, and the state finals were last night. I made it there with fifteen minutes to spare before his school performed (no thanks to suburban parking) and shivered through … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: October 27, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: October 20, 2019
As much as I love October, I'm happy to be done with last week. It was a weird week. It started out quiet and slow and then was incredibly busy from Thursday through Saturday. By the time I got home from work on Friday, I didn't have the energy to do anything but flop on … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: October 20, 2019
September Summary and October Preview
September was not a great month for reading, but I'm fine with that. Going to Iceland was worth it. I still finished nine books, and that's not nothing. And now that we're going into the cooler months of Fall, I just want to read more and more. I love the cooler weather Fall brings with … Continue reading September Summary and October Preview
