Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Today was my chore and errand day of my staycation. I can't not have one of those days, you know? So I went to the dentist, the doctor, the pet store, Costco, and the emissions testing site. And then I vacuumed, did the dishes, reorganized my closet, and a few other odds and ends to…
I am not going back to work until Tuesday! Woot. Initially I was going to take the Amtrak down to Grand Junction but for a variety of reasons all relating to covid, I decided I needed to cancel that trip. I will find my way over there some other time. And instead of cancelling my…
I'm really starting to feel like we're in summer. A few days ago a hummingbird stopped at both my hummingbird feeders for a nice refreshment. It took a couple of weeks and it's only this one little guy, but I love it. I only need one hummingbird to make my feeders worth it. Now if…
What a grand weekend I have experienced. Yesterday morning, Kayla and I spent a couple of hours together sitting outside, sipping drinks, and enjoying the cooler temperature. So I got a leaf stuck in my hair at one point, no big deal, I am a nature goddess, yes? It comes with the territory. 😉 I…
Guys. Guys! Guess what? My platelets are still normal! /happy dance. I went in this morning wearing the beautiful floral mask Kaitlin made me (it's my favorite) and ten minutes later I was literally dancing in the parking lot because my platelets are still normal. I'm dancing in my chair right now as I write…
I am still alive, just haven't felt like blogging this past week, mostly I think because of the steroids I had to take for my wisdom tooth. They pulled my mood down and it wasn't until Sunday night when I told Elisabeth I was feeling sad that she said, "Don't steroids make you depressed? Maybe…
I am now wisdom tooth-less! This morning, Elisabeth drove me to my dentist and sat in her car for an hour while I went under for the first time in my life, had my gums cut open and a tooth pulled out. I felt nervous. I've felt nervous off and on for the past two…
I saw some of my coworkers in person on Wednesday! One of my coworkers suggested that a group of us meet up and have a social distancing dinner one day and you know I was totally down for that. So we met in our building's parking lot, set up chairs six plus feet apart, and…
Welp, it's been two days since I planted everything and not surprisingly, I'm still loving all my green plant babies! I wake up and look over at the pothos on my bedside table and I smile. I'm so excited for the day when it starts to trail and I can have it climbing on the…
Today has been a plant heavy day. Before breakfast I transplanted some of my house plants that needed larger homes and gave my new calathea (that I got from the Botanic Gardens) a hand me down pot of its own. The calathea is doing quite well and is opening up its leaves to show off…
