And now it’s really cold. And I’m behind because it’s already the next week, and I have travel to tell you about. I’ll get on that Real Soon Now. Anyways, the weather prediction was for 8 inches of heavy wet snow on Tuesday, so on Monday evening they decided to close school. Then things were … [Read more…]
On Friday I moved in at Al & Emma’s to take care of Jasper while they went to a wedding. So a kind of different last days of 2023 than I typically do this time of year, although I did do some of my “normal” stuff like making small end of year donations to various … [Read more…]
So the cookie boxes have been dropped off at the post office and I should feel a great weight lifted, but I’m still stressing about will the contents be intact when they reach their destinations.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written, and it sorta seems that long, but also it sorta doesn’t, like that carton of yogurt I pulled out of the fridge this morning that I thought was kinda new, only to see it’s actually only 2 days away from the end of that week you get after the … [Read more…]

The rest of the week was the problem – three days in a row with all-day things, Wednesday Jasper, Thursday the state library conference, and Friday we went to Chicago for the symphony. Followed … [Read more…]
This is a real catch up one – it’s Wednesday actually editing and adding on Thursday, and I haven’t posted since Monday a week ago. I think the key elements of my life the past 10 days are babies, kittens and human. Also the Friends of UW-Libraries book sale, one of my volunteer gigs, and … [Read more…]
Or most of the rest, I guess – we’re still here until tomorrow. I’ve been a little better about taking pictures, but not writing so I think this will be a bit long! I’ll try to go chronologically so you can skip around. On Sunday after Mark walked and I iced my hand, we got … [Read more…]
Friday was the last day of classes. It was a Jasper-care day for me, doing some grading and catching up on email while he napped. The kids let me off early because I had to drive down to campus to run the iSchool student awards ceremony, a hybrid event, decoupled from the graduation ceremony for … [Read more…]
