Adventures of a well-rounded geek
The colder weather may finally be here. I know I said I was ready for it last month, but I'm maybe not quite as ready as I thought I was. With the colder weather comes a colder apartment, which means my fingers are cold and I don't love cold fingers. I have a rice sock…
This weekend was quite lovely. First, you should know that Elisabeth, Shari, and I signed up to take part in a city-wide scavenger hunt put on by The History Colorado Center called The Lost Book of Astrid Lee. It's kind of weird, definitely a bit complicated, but overall fun. We get clues that we have…
Had dinner at Kaitlin's tonight and, as expected, it was full of laughter and fun. I made risotto for tonight's dish and everyone was such a sport and tried it. They all said they liked it too. I'm going to take them at their words. I wish I could have made it for them fresh,…
So, funny happenstance, Elisabeth's D&D Dungeon Master and their partner recently moved into our apartment complex, literally the apartment building right across from ours. Sometimes I am amazed at how small our world is. And while them living near us is, in itself, pretty great, what I'm really excited about is that they gave me…
This evening I went to Kaitlin's for dinner. I didn't get to see them nearly enough last Saturday so I had to go over, I just had to. I laugh so much when I'm around my family. There's always something funny or interesting going on, or both at the same time. Emmy was a fantastic…
My cousin, Amanda, and her family have moved to Colorado! They got in this past week and yesterday we met up at the park for breakfast. Kaitlin and Kevin even came over with Emmy and Ollie. I was thrilled. I enjoyed myself quite a bit and didn't go back home until the afternoon. We sat…
Family blog time! Yesterday I had dinner with my family (some really tasty sesame tofu). Last time I had been over there, a couple of weeks ago, Kaitlin had been working on Ollie's new big boy bed. She and Kevin had purchased this log cabin-style bed from someone nearby and Kaitlin was repainting it and…
After work on Monday, Elisabeth and I met up with Kayla for a picnic dinner. We went to the lovely Ketring Park again and lounged on the grass, eating our garbanzo bean sandwiches and animal crackers, and talking about Kayla's moving logistics, work, and baklava (turns out I can shift any conversation to the topic…
Sunday I didn't have any plans, and it actually turned out okay, I really enjoyed my day and wasn't anxious at all. I dropped off my compost at Dirt Coffee, took care of my plants (I discovered I killed my last air plant, the one I had brought with me from the house, so that…
Last week passed quickly and without much ado. I think perhaps I was recuperating from Brittany's birthday party last Sunday. And since interacting with humans in person these days is doubling exhausting than pre-covid times, that took me a week. 😉 Yesterday I got to see both Kayla and my family since it was a…
