Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Because yesterday was a high of 5 degrees (eek), my friend, Robyn, and I moved our in person walk to a virtual video hangout instead. I think we made the right decision. We got on the topic of the cold weather, because, you know, we had to, and she started telling me about how if…
Last week was a bit of a whirlwind. I took Pippin to the vet on Tuesday to check out a bald spot he's had for a while. The vet says his bloodwork is normal and he's in good health so I'm not sure what's going on but if I find any other bald spots, they'll…
Shari moved into her new apartment this past Monday. I took a half day and Elisabeth and I helped her transition from one home to another. It all went very smoothly, thanks to Shari's planning and the help of two men and a truck. I was also very impressed with how much we unpacked and…
After taking a walk during my lunch break I picked up a package and checked the mail because I realized neither Elisabeth nor I had gotten the mail in at least a week. I forget about the mail all the time. But I'm glad I didn't forget today because what was waiting for me? A…
What happened today? I always try to celebrate the little moments, especially now, but sometimes it's hard to come up with stuff. Not today though I don't think. Today I felt cute in my jean dress, cat tights, and converse. Cat tights for the win. I'm still working on wearing clothes that I feel good…
I enjoyed my tofu bahn mi yesterday evening. I mention it because I could only find firm tofu at the store the other day and we've only ever made this dish with extra firm tofu before, so I was a little hesitant. Turns out that the firm tofu, while harder to cook, was really good,…
The past few evenings have been filled with friends and relaxation. I video chatted with my family Wednesday night and it did wonders on my mental health. Yay! I showed off my paintings and we played an online game that Kevin had found. I can't remember the name of it but know that it's similar…
Today has been kind of rough emotionally. A couple of my friends were struggling last night and while I'm glad they shared their feelings with me (I do not want them to feel alone), their sharing made me feel sad and it trickled into today and that combined with this whole situation, left me feeling…
The Botanic Gardens had their annual plant sale today. Last year I took the day off work, went right when they opened, and strolled the gardens looking at all the plants while my hands froze. I brought a wagon I had borrowed and filled it with plants for the yard. That's when I bought a…
On Friday I allowed myself to wear exercise leggings. I wanted something comfortable and figured I've been doing fairly well staying put together so I could let loose a bit this one Friday. I was comfortable, yes, but by the end of the day I changed into jeans because I felt too messy. My brain…
