I got my first Covid vaccination shot last week! At a grocery store, because 2021 is weird like that. I dressed up in my (mildly) frilly Steampunk-esque skirt and Edwardian replica shoes and hairstyle. It was glorious. One step closer to something like normal! I'm scheduled to get my second shot in a little under … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 4, 2021

There were two themes to the past week: Wind and Rain. It was windy for the first part of the week and has been raining for a solid day, and will continue to do so for the next couple of days. That's March for you. Despite the wind, though, a friend and I went for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: March 14, 2021

We had a little snowstorm last Sunday, and you can bet I went for a walk in the middle of it. It was so quiet and beautiful that I spent about an hour and a half wandering about. Definitely worth the cold fingers. Once I got home, I stayed home where it was warm and … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 28, 2021

Is it just me, or does it feel like it's easier to breathe nowadays? Is the news out of the White House almost boring in comparison to the past four years? Was anyone else giddy when the clock rolled around to 12:00 noon in Washington D.C. on Wednesday? What a fantastic day it ended up … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 24, 2021

Happy Birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien! The Professor was born on this day in 1892 in Orange Free State in what is now South Africa. Thought I spent yet another holiday at home alone, it was a pretty okay evening. I made plokkfiskur again, watched The Fellowship of the Ring, and finished reading The Return of … Continue reading Sunday Sum-up, January 3, 2020

Fall and winter are popular times for baking. And sometimes people are passionate about getting just the right ingredients. Do you know how I know that? Because when I went grocery shopping the other day, I needed to pick up buttermilk for the Irish soda bread I plan to make later today. I wandered to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 20, 2020

At work, we're not having to work Sundays for the first time in forever. Since at least before I started working there, and that's been a long time. I love that I'm not working six days a week in December, but I don't love the reasons for it. But it is nice to be able … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, December 6, 2020

I mentioned temperature jumps last week, and we got them this week. On Sunday, it reached 93°F (34°C), and on Tuesday, our high was 45°F (7°C). It wasn't quite as dramatic of a jump as they had in Denver, where it reached 101°F on Sunday, and was snowing by Tuesday, but it was still a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 2020

The National Weather Service is considering adjusting the system of warnings, watches, advisories, and statements it uses on the weather map on its website. I hope the go through with this because when you're checking the weather (which I do often, because Nebraska weather changes every ten minutes) and you see an orange advisory for … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 30, 2020

Can we be done with summer now? Because I want to be done with summer. For most of the week, we were dealing with a heatwave. That broke on Thursday night when a line of thunderstorms moved through with such high winds that a lot of trees-- including half of the one in front of … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 12, 2020
