Stressful week. Things were forgotten. Fortunately, no mistakes were made. Or if there were, they were minor mistakes. Will next week be less stressful? It had better be! A couple of things will be resolved on Monday, so there's that. Also fortunately: the forgotten things were definitely not critical- there were two blog-related things I … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 21, 2023

Sunday Sum-Up: May 14, 2023
All morning on Friday, we heard that the afternoon would be terribly stormy. There would be high winds and hail and possibly tornadoes, too. So at work, we were prepared to lock up at a moment's notice and hide from any tornadoes or other major storms. All afternoon and into the evening, it would be … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 14, 2023
April Summary, May Preview
So April was a month. Mostly okay with a dash of spending a whole lot of money on a new car. But now I feel like I can more safely go places since the new car doesn't make a lot of strange noises, or have annoying tires that like to get really low unexpectedly. I'm … Continue reading April Summary, May Preview

Another halfway decent week around here. We finally got a bit of rain, which we've desperately needed, since we're going into the second or third year of drought. It was nice to have a couple of misty, rainy days that ended with a bit of sun. Hopefully, we'll get more rainy days next week. They're … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: May 7, 2023

Last year in the spring, my car started making a, shall we say, interesting noise when the weather started warming up. I took it to the repair shop and they said, "We don't see anything wrong", so I kept driving it in spite of the weird noise. 'The car is getting old,' I thought. 'It's … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 30, 2023

Last week was a lot. A lot of things are going on (mostly fun ones), but it was also just A LOT. Stressful, in the way that life throws unexpected things at you. Fortunately, the main stressor will be taken care of on Monday, so I'll have a lot of background stress taken away from … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 23, 2023

Have I mentioned how wonky the weather can get around here? Probably a few dozen times, but it can get pretty wonky. Like last week when it got up to 90F on Thursday, then we had a series of severe thunderstorms on Friday, and a day of rain, sleet, and a high of 45F on … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 16, 2023

There must be some rule that says medical offices and their waiting rooms will have temperatures that are either too warm or just too cold for comfort. I spent most of the morning of my day off in two of those offices- the dentist for a biannual check-up, and then at the clinic for some … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 9, 2023
March Summary, April Preview
The first three months of the year have flown by, as they are wont to do. I'm always a little ambivalent about the arrival of spring as I prefer fall and winter, but the appearance of green growing things and summer songbirds is always a plus, so I suppose it's a wash. If we could … Continue reading March Summary, April Preview

It's spring in Nebraska, so that means we've been having some interesting weather. Fortunately, we haven't had any tornadoes, but in my neck of the woods, it's meant 50-degree temperature swings in a single day and a nice windstorm that knocked my internet service offline (again). I'm not complaining about it, as March has given … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: April 2, 2023
