I don't know where this week went. I remember it was cold and windy, and it snowed for two days straight, but otherwise? No clue. It went into the file of 'lost weeks', I suppose. And yet, for all that, I got a lot of reading and whatnot done. I did a bit of baking, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 02/10/2019

Sunday Sum-Up, 02/03/2019
Well. What a weird weather week. With lots of 'W's. Anyway. This past week, the American Midwest experienced a polar vortex in which windchills in certain parts of the country dropped below -50°F (-45°C). We were on the edge of that and so Wednesday's high was a comparatively balmy 0°F (-18°C), while tomorrow's high could … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 02/03/2019
Sunday Sum Up, 01/27/2019
It was a cold and snowy week here in windblown Nebraska. I put the knit wool cap I bought on the Irish island of Inis Mór to good use, and though a coworker jokingly called me "Tiny Kim", my head stayed nice and warm on those frigid, blustery days. Really, I don't mind being compared … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 01/27/2019

I had a cold for most of this week. Nothing major, but enough that I was was pretty worn out by the time I got home every night, so I didn't want to do much of anything, even though the weather was nice. Next week isn't looking so great, either. Two co-workers are going on … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

It snowed just about every day this week. Not a lot each time- just an inch or three- but enough to make everything sparkly and white outside. If it were just a little bit warmer, a person could happily go for a walk in all of that, but when it's 3°F and one still has … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
Year in Review- 2017
What do you do with a year like 2017? Politically, it's been a dumpster fire almost from the start with enough insanity to make you laugh manically, sob hysterically, or in many cases, run for office because you can't stand what's going on. Looking at the mess politicians are making of the wider world almost … Continue reading Year in Review- 2017

In spite of the warm weather, Autumn is here! Most of the leaves have turned, and with that low, autumnal light, my drive to work is completely gorgeous! I live in an older part of town where the streets are lined with old, tall trees whose leaves have all turned yellow and gold with a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Did You See Star Trek Last Night?
The end of every year of high school marked the annual awards banquets at my school. I don't know what the athletes did but the theater kids had fun, especially if you were in stage crew. While the actors had their, ‘best actor’ and ‘best actress’ honors, the stage crew had their own awards customized … Continue reading Did You See Star Trek Last Night?

Will someone please tell Summer that it's over? I'm really tired of these 90°F temperatures. 97° on the first day of Fall? Ugh. I've spent the last few days trying to keep cool and sleeping terribly thanks to the lingering hot weather. It's supposed to cool off on Monday, and I can't wait. I want … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
