So. Last week. Last week was hot. Like 95°F to 100°F throughout the week, and while it cooled off a little in the night, there was basically no wind, so my apartment did not get to take advantage of those slightly cooler temperatures. And my air conditioner couldn't keep up, either. It finally wound down … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 13, 2021

Summer's here. I already hate it. I mean, most of May it was around 60F, with rainy days and plenty of clouds and cool breezes and life was great. Then June hit and overnight it leaped into the mid 90s F, and it's awful. How long until October? In other, non-weather news, I got things … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 6, 2021

Another week of generally getting things done. I like these kinds of weeks. They're so useful. Next week: More getting things done! I've been wanting to put new art up on two of the walls in my bedroom, as the stuff that's been up has been up for a long time. I'm thinking of doing … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 9, 2021

It's been a rainy week around here. The first couple of days of the week were sunny and warm, and then it clouded over on Tuesday, started raining Wednesday afternoon, and kept raining until Thursday night. Then it rained again on Friday night. It's all rain, rain, rain. But this weekend has been absolutely lovely. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 11, 2021

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
