Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Now that the mornings and evenings are cooler, the opportunity to use the oven again presented itself. Friday night I baked a spice cake I've been craving for a few months and Saturday morning I baked cinnamon rolls because I wanted Shari to try out the recipe my mom and I have perfected every time…
It's been two weeks since Pippin's last emergency trip to the animal hospital so that's a comforting thought. I still worry about him. He's still more lethargic than he used to be and he's not eating as much, but the fact that he hasn't had to go to the hospital in two weeks is encouraging.…
Pippin mid yawn The past couple of weeks have been almost non stop for me and so there's been little time to write a post. I write these mainly for myself anyway, so I can go back in the future and see what I got up to over the years, so it's not a huge…
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…

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…
Wednesday evenings have kind of become stay at home date nights with Shari recently, and they're great. Since I'm not seeing my family these days, it's nice having something to look forward to mid week. I normally go over to her apartment and we make dinner and watch a show (shout out for The Owl…
10-22-20: I thought I had posted this yesterday but turns out I didn't so posting this now. Yesterdays meetup chat was quite enjoyable. There was a time when I was considering making the chat an every other week event rather than every week, but then I realized how much I enjoy hanging out with my…
