The hottest part of the year has passed, and I couldn't be happier about it. I am a cool weather person, and those hot and humid days basically shut down my brain. I dread summer every year. But it's going to be over soon! Hooray! I read nine books in July. I figured I would … Continue reading July Summary, August Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: August 2, 2020
Another week has gone, and I'm bidding it good riddance. Mostly. Work was crazy busy again, but the weather was great. It has cooled off far more than I expected it to, and we're expecting lows in the 50ºF (10ºC) range. That's practically autumnal! It's been great to shut off the air conditioner, have the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 2, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: July 12, 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
June Summary, July Preview
We have now reached my least favorite time of year, and it will continue to be my least favorite time of year until September. Heat is bad enough. Add high humidity into the mix, and it's even worse. Hooray for air conditioning, fans, and iced beverages. Anyway. I didn't finish as many books in June … Continue reading June Summary, July Preview
Sunday Sum-Up: June 28, 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
April Summary, May Preview
April passed far more quickly than I thought it would! Though my home state didn't have a shelter-in-place order, everyone was staying home anyway and most things were either closed or offered curbside service only, so most days I would go to work and then go home. Once a week I'd go to the grocery … Continue reading April Summary, May Preview
Sunday Sum-Up: April 26, 2020
It's been a quiet week around here. I baked, I cooked, I wrote, I read. I'm quite proud of the cooking and baking. I don't do very much of either, but I bought a cookbook written for people in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). They do medieval/early modern reenactments, and their goal is to … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 26, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: April 19, 2020
I thought it would take about a thousand years to get through April, but it's moving right along. Which is fine. It's starting to look like there might be a faint point of light waaaaaay down at the end of this stay-at-home tunnel... Obligatory Mina Photo: On Wednesday afternoon, I was brewing some tea. It's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 19, 2020

Now that March 310th has passed, it seems we're all looking forward to April 300th, when life will hopefully begin to return to something like normal. For my own part, I'm looking forward to the end of my home city's directed health measures, which ban groups of more than 10 in any situation, have moved … Continue reading March Summary, April Preview
Sunday Sum-Up- January 19, 2020
After a week of dealing with a cold, I'm starting to both feel and sound like myself again. It's frustrating how a minor illness can wear me out so much, because there were so many things I wanted to get done. Alas. But I'm feeling better and have an array of things to do today, … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up- January 19, 2020
