Election Day was last Tuesday, and it was so busy that I worked from 6:00 to 4:00 instead of the 6:00 to 1:30 that I was scheduled for. And for the rest of the week it seemed like everyone I talked to was tired, but sort of happy. We elected a liberal supreme court justice … [Read more…]
I started writing this Friday, lamenting about how I’m so old and don’t do anything anymore. A whole FOMO post. But now that I’ve had the whole weekend if I start listing all the stuff I did there’s actually kind of a lot. I mean when you’re having two movie weekends you can’t be all … [Read more…]
… fewer deadlines. The last couple weeks I’ve just been feeling so slammed with work, and then I added on working at the polls and volunteering at the Libraries Book sale, and the film fest. April has already been the cruelest month and we’re only one week in. Late March was kind of mean, too. … [Read more…]
This week … Russia invaded Ukraine. In the light of that, how can any of my personal distresses and kvetches matter. I mean, no one’s dropping bombs on my house, there are not tanks rolling down my street. But yet, here I am, entangled in them. We had Twos-day (02-22-2022) and everyone made a deal … [Read more…]
We had all round food, well, and almost round food, for brunch today. Pepper & egg fritatta, sweet potato quesadillas. And leftover sticky buns frozen since Christmas – they were the almost round. And what did we eat the rest of the week? On Monday I made turkey divan with broccoli and cheese sauce and … [Read more…]
I had a bunch of cooking plans on Xmas Eve, two pages in my little notebook. Continuing using up cookie leftovers and CSA box produce, sourdough bread plans (my sourdough has gotten way too big, BTW, even though I’ve only been feeding it half cups of flour & water. I might have to actually discard … [Read more…]
Mostly trying to catch up with friends, give cookies away, and eat and drink a little too much, in a typical holiday fashion. Saturday my Dad would’ve been 99 years old if he was still here having birthdays – he stopped in 1998 at 77 (though the metadata in this Pitt Archives photo is incorrect; … [Read more…]
Seems like every morning this week I woke up at 4:30 and couldn’t go back to sleep. So, I’ve definitely been a bit draggy. I guess it’s because of the time change, fall back – but I like that Sunday with an extra hour (that was just last week) so much that I’m not too … [Read more…]
I didn’t march, although there was a march starting at my niece’s high school, Garfield, and going downtown, which would have been a nice walk, and it was a nice day. Instead, I made an apron. It’s a prototype for a demo that I’m doing for the Garden Expo, the 2nd weekend in February, about … [Read more…]
Thursday night I went to see Michael Nesmith at the Neptune Theater. The announcement said with Scott McCaughey and Ben Gibbard, and I didn’t know exactly how it was going to work. It turned out to be a short solo acoustic opening set by McCaughey, followed by Nesmith performing, seated with a 12-string guitar and a … [Read more…]
