Sunday Sum-Up: February 9, 2020
I got a new refrigerator! Well, I didn't buy it. My landlord bought it. I'd been having problems with the old, antiquated fridge and the maintenance guy decided it wasn't worth it to keep fixing the old thing and talked the landlord into getting me a new one. It's a game-changer to have a working … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 9, 2020
Sunday Sum Up, September 1, 2019
September at last! I'm wishing this summer and its heat good riddance. The weather has been wonderful lately, with some rain and cool temperatures.

Sunday Sum-Up
Someday I am going to look back through my bullet journal and wonder why I wrote "Who is the patron saint of umbrellas?". Or perhaps not. I have always had rotten luck with umbrellas. It's been a week of clouds and rain, and especially so on my day off. I decided to walk over to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
Sunday Sum-Up
So this week is done, and I'm glad for it. It featured one of our busiest weeks of the year at work, and for three nights running I came home dead tired and grouchy. But instead of collapsing on the couch with a glass of wine and a move, I collapsed on the couch with … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
