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
March Summary, April Preview
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
November Summary, December Preview
November was a good month overall, though work kept me busy. We've had snow and rain and beautiful days, and Mina continues to be completely adorable. It's weird to think that both a year and a decade are coming to an end. In my mind, the 90s were still last week, but we're staring … Continue reading November Summary, December Preview
October Summary, November Preview
October was, overall, a pretty good month. There were a few stumbling blocks at work (when isn't there?) and a couple of books that slowed me down a bit, but I can't complain about it, even if it was colder than normal. I will not complain about cooler temperatures. I finished fourteen books in October. … Continue reading October Summary, November Preview
Sunday Sum Up: October 20, 2019
As much as I love October, I'm happy to be done with last week. It was a weird week. It started out quiet and slow and then was incredibly busy from Thursday through Saturday. By the time I got home from work on Friday, I didn't have the energy to do anything but flop on … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up: October 20, 2019
Sunday Sum Up: October 6, 2019
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
September Summary and October Preview
September was not a great month for reading, but I'm fine with that. Going to Iceland was worth it. I still finished nine books, and that's not nothing. And now that we're going into the cooler months of Fall, I just want to read more and more. I love the cooler weather Fall brings with … Continue reading September Summary and October Preview
