Summer is making its last gasp around here. It's been hot and dry, making last weekend's cool and gloomy day a too-small taste of Fall. We're supposed to get another few hot days before the temperature drops again, hopefully for the season. I'm done with the hot weather. I was done with the hot weather … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 18, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: September 11, 2022
I had a relaxing time of it last week, thanks in part to the Labor Day holiday last Monday here in the US and an overall quiet week both at work and home. I did have the usual problem of forgetting which day it was when I went back to work on Tuesday. This was … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 11, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up, September 4, 2022
That was a week. It sure was. Things happened. I did stuff. Do I really remember what all I did aside from going to see some friends and being baffled by sports? Not really. It was an unremarkable week overall, except for Thursday night when The Rings of Power premiered (spoiler alert: I enjoyed it!). … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, September 4, 2022

The heat of summer made a bit of a return this week, though it wasn't as bad as it has been. The nights have been cooler and I've been able to open the windows at night. It's nice to be able to turn the air conditioner off and get some fresh air in here. We … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 28, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: August 21, 2022
It was an up-and-down week. I had four days off, from Sunday to Wednesday, and I got plenty of reading, sewing, writing, and general relaxing done. My mending pile is much shorter now. I finished a couple of books I'd been meaning to read, and I've mostly drafted the next chapter of my ongoing fantasy … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 21, 2022
Sunday SumUp: August 14, 2022
Somehow, we have reached the midpoint of August. I think the heat is starting to break at last. While we're expecting another day of hot temperatures around here, the nights have been cooling off to something more reasonable, rather than hovering around 85-90°F as they'd been doing through most of July, and daytime highs are … Continue reading Sunday SumUp: August 14, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: August 7, 2022
It's been ridiculously hot again this week. I'm done with summer. I've been done with summer for a while. These 110°F heat indices are not for me. I want some sweater weather! In other news, I spent my usual day off at work to cover for a vacationing co-worker, so I did his job for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 7, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: July 31, 2022
This past week was quite a lovely one weather-wise, though I didn't get to go out and enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. There were a few long walks, a trip to my neighborhood coffee shop, and dinner with friends, but not so much with the outside goings-on. Unfortunately, another predicted heatwave … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 31, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: July 24, 2022
Last week was hot, and good riddance to it. Although, the cold (relatively speaking) front that came through last night could have been a little less dramatic, as it caused the temperature to drop about twenty degrees Fahrenheit in about half an hour, as well as causing some nasty thunderstorms across the state. But it … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 24, 2022
Sunday Sum-Up: July 17, 2022
I survived the busy work week! Huzzah. It was not as tiring as I thought it would be, but it wasn't exactly a lazy few days. I'm looking forward to a nice day off full of reading and writing. I will probably end up listening to podcasts and drawing instead, because that's just what I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 17, 2022
