Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Bread pre oven I couldn't help myself with an alliteration - botanicals, bread, and bingo - it was just too good to pass up. You're welcome. Yesterday revealed itself to be an overall pleasant day. I'm on steroids for a few days to help with my sensitive tooth (thanks new crown) and so my mood…
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…
I discovered who my meetup Secret Santa is! On Friday, those of us who participated in the Secret Santa hopped on a video call and opened the gifts we had secretly given one another. I had given my match, Mel, a kind of comfort gift box - fuzzy socks, lotion, soap, and a list of…
This weekend was, overall, really fantastic. I didn't have any social obligations so Saturday morning I took my time. I painted my nails and I finally sewed my very own mask. Look at that cute heart mask. I ended up breaking my sewing machine needle while I was sewing this because I had so much…
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…
Christmas lights, baked goods, music, a Christmas tree, and movies filled my weekend. Shari and I went to the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield on Saturday evening where we wandered around the grounds looking at all the Christmas lights. Shari had never been to this botanic gardens before and I had never been for their holiday…
Yesterday, Elisabeth, Shari, and I completed The Lost Book of Astrid Lee scavenger hunt. ... Well, okay, technically, we completed it last week, but we didn't know that because the end was lackluster and not clear. I appreciate all the time and effort that went into creating this event and I enjoyed it and really…
On Wednesday, I went over to Shari's place to make dinner. She had found a vegan alfredo sauce recipe she wanted to try and you know I was game for it since the one "afredo" recipe Elisabeth and I had made was not worth making again (it was a hummus base and just came out…
I took a long weekend last weekend to go visit an old coworker, Brenda, in Grand Junction. She had moved over there last year, shortly after we both got laid off from our jobs. I was going to visit her back in the summer, but covid was rampant at the time and I didn't feel…
