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

Another quiet week here. I've been busy with work, reading, and writing. Or trying to write. I keep being distracted. By cats. You see, when you sit down in front of the computer to spend an hour writing, one or both of the cats-- no matter how deeply they seem to be sleeping-- will suddenly … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 16, 2020

I accomplished less than I hoped for this past week, but when a co-worker invites you to Star Trek trivia night at his favorite taproom, you go to Star Trek Trivia night. So after work on Tuesday, we met up with a couple of his friends, ordered some pizza, and proceeded to place second in … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 2, 2020

I celebrated the New Year by ordering Chinese food, watching The Lord of the Rings movies, and making bad puns. Really bad puns. Aside from my attempts at comedy, this past week was wonderfully relaxing. Though I didn't get extra time off from work for the holiday, I felt like I could just sit down … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 5, 2020
