Thanks to a lot of work and socializing, it's been a busy week. I went with my book club to a Christmas market last Sunday where a host of local artists and small businesses were there with their wares and services. I bought a little print of a hobbit hole, but as I'd completed my … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 17, 2023

This weekend is so, so busy. For one thing, I had to work on Saturday. After that, I headed to a gathering that might as well be called Friendsgivingmas, because we were celebrating Thanksgiving (yes, late) and having a white elephant gift exchange. Today, a different group of friends are together for coffee and some … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 10, 2023

This was Thanksgiving week in the United States, and because the weather was good I drove the two and a half hours to my parents' house on Wednesday morning and spent the next day and a half with them. My brother and his family arrived on Thursday morning, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Aside … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 26, 2023

I spent most of my work week being run off my feet, so I was tired every night when I got home and didn't have the energy to do much of anything. It was frustrating because I wanted to do things like write and do some organizing in my apartment, but sometimes you just have … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 19, 2023

This was not my most productive week ever. I wish it was because I spent my time lazing about and watching dust motes float around in a sunbeam like Mina did (though I did spend some time watching a squirrel skitter about on my window ledges), but much of my free time was spent stressing … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 12, 2023

Now that the heat is back on in my apartment, the weather has warmed up a bit and lessening the need for it. Go figure. But while the days are in the upper fifties and lower sixties (Fahrenheit), it's still dropping into the thirties at night, so I'd rather it be slightly warmer with heat … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 5, 2023

After a few days of perfectly autumnal days, the weather has taken a turn for the cold. While we didn't get the snow they threatened us with, overnight temperatures have dropped below freezing for at least the next few days. I have a feeling our fall color will not last the week, and we'll be … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 29, 2023

I have solved the technical issues that bogged my laptop down last weekend! It took a while to get it sorted, though. There is a process in Windows designed to analyze the system and coordinate its resources to make it run more efficiently. The problem with said process is that, if it has an error, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 22, 2023

It's a transitional season around here, which means the temperatures are all over the place. Last Sunday the high reached 95F, while Friday saw our first frost advisory of the season and a low of 38F. We also had a series of thunderstorms roll through on Tuesday. They weren't severe around here, but my parents … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 8, 2023

We rushed through September, and now it is October. Spooky Season is officially upon us. I plan to read some gothic tales, rewatch my beloved show Penny Dreadful, and generally enjoy the fall weather that will hopefully be upon us after summer's last gasp ends in a day or two. I plan to make the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: October 1, 2023
