It is definitely October. On Monday, the last day of September, the high was 93°F. Friday night it was 52°F when I attended a local Shakespeare company's outdoor production of Macbeth, and my radiators were on when I got home. The National Weather Service is predicting freezing weather by next weekend. I mean, I was … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: October 6, 2019

Sunday Sum Up- September 29, 2019
Well. Last week was a weird week. I made plans. I intended to carry them out. Life had different plans-- like a flat tire that wiped out my Monday evening. Fun. Also, I had Mina the Kitten spayed on Wednesday, and the vet told me to limit her activity for 7-10 days. Can someone tell … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- September 29, 2019

Want a good way to confuse your smartphone? Live 1,000 or more miles from the nearest ocean or sea and download an app that tells you when tides will be high or low. Watch it try to find the nearest beaches and give you locations in both Massachusetts and Texas. Tidal schedules will be more … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up- September 8, 2019

People on the East Coast of the US like to make odd claims about the American Midwest, and one of their favorites seems to be that here in the Heartland, we don't lock our doors. In August, this is true only because the heat and humidity cause the doors to swell and so make them … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, August 25, 2019

Busy week this week. Having a kitten means I've been doing a lot more sweeping, vacuuming, and taking out the trash. I love the little mite, but she spreads litter around like a mad thing! On the bright side of having two cats, it's completely adorable at night, when I look up from working on … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- August 11, 2019

It was a quietish week around here, though work was a bit stressful. Fortunately, I swapped days with a coworker and took Saturday off, so I ended up with a three-day weekend. I had zero plans, except for cleaning my apartment and reading. I did go out with a friend on Friday evening. We wanted … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up- August 4, 2019

Last week was a week. It started out alright, but on Wednesday morning I had to take little Mina back to the veterinarian, thanks to the continued presence of intestinal worms. They gave her another round of dewormers and a tin of recovery food meant for animals suffering from malnutrition (because she hadn't gained any … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/21/2019

I headed to my little hometown for a couple of days this week for Independence Day. My parents, my twelve-year-old nephew, and I went out for ice cream on Wednesday and then headed out to watch the town's fireworks show after dark. Because my hometown is fairly small (about 5,600 people) and because it's a … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 07/07/2019

I hate summer. It's only just begun. *sighs* On a less dreadful note, I did have a lovely beginning to the week. Last Sunday I went to the Farmers' Market and bought a jar of homemade blackberry jam, a box of cardamom-flavored cookies, and a bouquet of flowers that included several purple lisianthuses. They've stayed … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 06/30/2019

It's been a stormy week around here. Weather-wise, I mean. There have been thunderstorms the past three nights, and it makes it hard to get a good night's sleep. Annoying, that, but at least they haven't been severe storms. Just noisy ones. And then on my day off, I had so many good intentions to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 06/23/2019
