Just a little morning commute blizzard.
Happy my-Mama’s Birthday!
“Your girls are so lucky.” It was after a TaeKwonDo class, and I was dropping off a classmate home, telling her about my little girl who had (still has!) such a talent for drawing. “What do you mean?” I asked. “We weren’t allowed to focus on anything that wasn’t ‘serious’ when I was growing up,” she said. “Sports were okay, but not art.” And I was kind of gob-smacked. Up until that point, I had really never conceived of a…
My Brain is Nauseous* – Can I Go Home Now?
(*) Well, dang. It looks like mental fatigue is a beast I still haven’t licked yet. That’s the thought that crossed my mind last year after I’d been hammering away at assembling a formal code update and found myself (once again) feeling extremely mentally rundown. Except that ‘mental fatigue’ and ‘run down’ really don’t cover what it feels like, and, taking another look at that sentiment from this perspective of a year later, there’s also this whole extra layer of…

Okay, I don’t know quite how to parse this. I was feeling really out-of-sorts. And then sitting in on the (otherwise unremarkable) weekly status meeting made me feel better?

Well. Like all the ‘best’, most truly boggling and awful of code bugs, this one was extremely simple and stupid and makes me feel like now I ought to get my eyes examined…

Here’s how allergy skin testing for me usually goes. At some point, the technician always says, “I’m sorry.” (Mostly because I’m massively allergic to all the grasses, but also, you know, most of everything else, too.)

Today I got to add a new food allergy to my list. Aren’t I just a lucky duck? (It’s bell peppers.)

I think my imagination space is getting too crowded. Not with cool ideas, but with just too many types of things. Like, I’ll think “What’s a cool story idea I can noodle on today?” And then, “Oh – an item from my housekeeping list. That is not what I was reaching for.”
Day-Moon – Crow-Moon 2023 Look-back
Happy Solstice! The 2024 new year is coming soon, and with it, I’ll be hitting the 1-year mark of having this blog. Therefore, for the final, regular (non-weekly-garden) post of the year, I’d like to do a look-back of what I’ve done with this blog over the course of 2023. When it comes to any sort of hobby, I’m definitely prone to, and enjoy, tabulating the various stuff associated with it. And so, without further ado: General Accomplishments 1. I…
Quick-Chores
Okay, friends. I think it is time to tell you about something I call Quick-Chores, which is a house-keeping tactic I’ve been playing with this year, to varying degrees of success. First, I should say that on the spectrum of people, I am the sort of people who neither enjoys housework, nor feels strongly compelled to do very much of it. I think I’m in a lot of pretty good company. Never-the-less, I do prefer a clean house to a…
