I had a busy week at work last week, thanks to a tedious but necessary annual task that always takes several days to complete. We finished it yesterday, but while that's all done next week promises to be a busy one, too. At least Monday and Tuesday will be busy. After that, I think things … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 29, 2023

Sunday Sum-Up: January 22, 2023
Quick sum-up this time, as I have a few things going on at the moment. We've had a couple of days of snow this week, though neither day gave us very much-- a couple of inches at most. Enough to be pretty, but not enough to cause real problems. Which I'm fine with. They got … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 22, 2023
Sunday Sum-Up: January 15, 2022
It's been a quiet and cozy week around here. I'm still enjoying the vibes provided by the new living room lamp, and I'm finally getting around to finishing up some Netflix shows and watching a few movies I've had in my queue for a long time. So I finished up Wednesday (which was fun, though … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 15, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: January 8, 2023
I did not, on New Year's Eve, make a resolution to be cozier in my little corner of the world, but that seems to be what is happening this winter. So way back in my college years, when I got my first apartment, I bought a floor lamp for my living room. It was nothing … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 8, 2023
Sunday Sum-Up: December 18, 2022
Given that the last time I was sick was January 2020, I'd forgotten how long it takes for me to recover from a cold. It's not fun. I'd like to not do it again for a while. And I'm doubly glad that I've gotten both my Covid and flu shots. Obligatory Mina Photo: I pulled … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 18, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: Nov 20, 2022
Winter made an early appearance in the shape of cold, wind, and snow flurries throughout the week. It wasn’t enough snow to actually collect, but the tiny bit we got was enough to cheer me up in the face of some blustery days. And while I enjoy a bit of snow in the winter, this … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: Nov 20, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: November 13, 2022
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 6, 2022
We've been in a drought for quite some time around here. It hasn't been as bad here as it is in other parts of the country, but the rivers have been running low and the ground is very dry. So when I was woken up by a strange noise the other night, I thought at … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 6, 2022

October Summary, November Preview
October always goes by so quickly. On the whole, it was a lovely month with plenty of great weather-- pleasant temperatures, lots of sun, and a little rain. The fall colors have been amazing, too. They're brighter than they normally are, thanks to a lot of dry weather and cold nights. I'll miss the vivid … Continue reading October Summary, November Preview
