A few things from the week: On my day off, I drove all the way down to the botanical garden to photograph the flowers and whatnot, only to get there, have a lovely shot lined up, and then realize that my camera had no memory cards in it, and I had left my regular camera … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 16, 2020

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 26, 2020
So. Last week is over. Hooray. The first half of the workweek was incredibly busy, and I'm glad it's over. I'd get home at night and just flop on the couch and not want to do anything at all except watch a bit of television. Which I did. Some of it was more enjoyable than … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: July 26, 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

Ever have one of those weeks that gets away from you? Like you wake up on Monday morning, and then you blink and it's Saturday night and you feel like you've gotten pretty much nothing done? That was my week. Fun. I blame the heat for killing my focus. We have another hot week ahead. … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 14, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: June 7, 2020
So. That was a week. Here's a day-by-day rundown, because that's what it needs. Sunday: I spent the morning in debate: do I stay home because of COVID-19, or do I go to the Black Lives Matter demonstration at the capitol in the afternoon? Eventually, I had to act as my conscience dictated and went … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: June 7, 2020
Sunday Sum-Up: May 10, 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
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

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: February 23, 2020
Busy week! And one full of adulting. I had a dentist's appointment. I got the car's oil changed. I filed my taxes. Did laundry. Dusted and swept. All that boring stuff. I'm hoping this week brings less not-fun stuff. Like a day where I can sleep in. That would be great. Obligatory Mina Photo: On … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 23, 2020
