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…]
… Or at least trying to, and I had to go to Denver to do it, although not sure being on vacation provides more writing opportunities when the vacation is visiting grandkid #2. I closed my last post saying I’d do better but that hasn’t happened. And that was a whole weekend plus all the … [Read more…]
Whatta week … I was gonna say more like 9 days since I last posted but it’s really only been a week. The political news is crazy, the weather is changeable, and I haven’t been doing very well at photographing food. Or at any of my retirement re-organization projects. Or any of my more vague … [Read more…]
Enervated (one of my mom’s favorite words). Spending too much time sopping up water in the basement. Saturday night we got 3+ inches in something like 3 hours. Quietly freaking about recent political news, although, since Mark is in quarantine upstairs after he tested positive for Covid Friday morning, I’m downstairs with the cats. Which … [Read more…]
It’s been so hot and humid, I’ve already received like 5 pounds of zucchini in my CSA box(es). Yesterday – the summer solstice, only the very first official day of summer, and already a zucchini glut – I made zucchini bread and discovered that I need to tweak my recipe. I think I usually make … [Read more…]
I am trying to figure out this retired thing, schedule-wise. I seem to never have time to do the things I thought I’d have more time for, like blog posts and art and food photography and reorganizing the basement. Cooking in general. Exercise. Fixing up the house. Oh, and I want to get another cat. … [Read more…]
We’re in Denver for Mark’s son Ethan’s big fancy wedding, and I am at our Airbnb finally knocking off work, and finally writing a post here, my first one in the month of September, and it’s already the 9th. As the evil stepmother (well maybe not soooo evil) I didn’t have to go to the … [Read more…]
So here it is Saturday again; this time last Saturday I was heading for the Urgent Care. More on that in a minute. People are starting to come back to campus. Monday was my department’s annual faculty & staff retreat, and there’s a lot of moving going on in the neighborhoods where lots of students … [Read more…]
… Actually almost two. Last the week of August 8th was kinda crazy – I took two days sorta off from work, Tuesday was election day and Thursday was my birthday. Sorta off because I worked the polls on Tuesday and then still did some grading in my online class afterward, and even on Thursday … [Read more…]
Oh yea, blueberries and impending trip to Door County. And stuff I’ve cooked and not posted. Looks like I’m just going to have to do another of those posts with lots of pics, and random thoughts that the pictures remind me of. So here goes: On the last Weds. in July, it was my turn … [Read more…]
