Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I spent the weekend at my family's again because life is short and vaccines are here. Plus, it was Easter and I remember feeling so sad that I couldn't be with my family last Easter. Not this year! We made breakfast burritos for breakfast on Saturday and then Kaitlin and the family came over and…
I saw my family! Friday after work I drove down to Colorado Springs to finally, FINALLY visit my family. I made the decision that my mental health was more important than getting or giving covid. Plus, my parents have both received the first vaccine shot (I saw my dad's vaccine card, it's so awesome) so…
Welp, 2020 has come and gone. I'm okay with that, in fact I might be happy. And while I know that changing the year doesn't really change anything, I can still hope that this year will bring me the covid vaccine and the chance to visit my friends in Oregon and Washington. I don't quite…
This past weekend I went to Shari's parents' house with her to bake cookies. They have a yearly tradition of baking a gigantic amount of cookies that they then make into platters and give out to friends, family, and coworkers. When Shari told me that they make between 100 and 200 dozen cookies in a…
What a weird but enjoyable weekend I had. Saturday morning, my mom called telling me she and my dad plan on driving to Texas this upcoming Friday to spend time with my grandma before she passes away. My grandma isn't doing well and my mom needs to be with her. So my parents wanted to…
I forgot to mention that I am babysitting Kora, my sister's cat, for the next month! Because my sister and her family are moving, they decided that it would be best to find a new home for Kora, as she has been stressed for quite a while in their home and she deserves a quieter,…

Wow, it's been a month since I wrote anything. I haven't been feeling it. I don't know why. Covid probably has a good deal to do with my lack of desire to write. Everything is shutting down again and even if it wasn't, we've had some really cold days that would have prevented me from…
My week was thrown off course on Thursday when I got the news that Colt, my parents' dog, had died after a large dog bit him and tore open his chest. That was not news I was expecting to get Thursday afternoon and it really shook me and shocked me. I ended up taking the…
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…
