Sunday Sum-up, January 3, 2020

January 3, 2021January 2, 2021 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 11 Comments

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

Sunday Sum-Up: December 20, 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

Sunday Sum-Up: September 13, 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

So I've had a good week. Nothing mind-blowingly happy happened, but nothing horrible happened, either, and I got a lot of things done on my day off. Work was busy, but not so busy I wanted to scream (although as soon as you notice that a few of the light bulbs have gone out, it's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 28, 2020

Another week has gone swiftly by. We're slowly going back to our regular hours at work, which is strange to get used to again after a month of four-day workweeks. What else is weird is getting used to wearing masks most of the day. The ones I use like to slide upward while I talk, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 17, 2020

It's already May 10th. Wow. May's flying by in a way that not even April managed. We're going to blink, and it will be June. I wonder what sort of madness 2020 has in store for us then?   Obligatory Mina Photo: I have to close the bathroom door when I leave for work these … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 10, 2020

Have the days been smearing together for everyone else? They've been smearing together for me. I felt like I had a smattering of Wednesdays and Thursdays and half a Saturday. It's been a weird week, but I did make it to the grocery store on one of those Wednesdays and got everything I needed. Hooray. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 12, 2020
