Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Elisabeth surprised me with flowers on Wednesday! She went off to Costco since it was her day off from work and came home with a bouquet of flowers just for me (and a whole bag of walnuts plus some other stuff, I mean, it's Costco, can't just get one thing there). How lovely is that?…
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…
I had another pleasant weekend. Shari and I made brunch together on Saturday - banana muffins and tofu scrambled "eggs". She also brought over homemade blueberry lemon muffins she had baked the previous day. It was kind of a breakfast feast and it was all delicious. I had never made tofu scrambled eggs before so…
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…
On Saturday, Brittany met me at Native Foods for lunch. We sat outside in the 90 degree weather and ate our delicious food. I drank all of my water. That was a bit of a surprise, but it really was exceptionally hot. Well, not "exceptionally" I suppose, since it's been in the 90s for weeks…
Sunday morning I met my friend, Robyn, and we went for a walk along the High Line Canal Trail and Fairmount Cemetery. I enjoyed catching up with her and hearing about her car selling and buying adventures. I can only hope I don't have as many adventures as hers when I'm finally ready to get…
Thursday evening I met up with Shari for ice cream. Can you believe I haven't gotten ice cream at all this summer? It's August for crying out loud! This is what covid does to me, it prevents me from getting ice cream. 😉 At least Elisabeth has made me a couple of Dole Whips. She's…
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,…
Last week was something. Just a mix of emotions, really. My friend, Kayla, moved to Oregon. The day finally came when she packed the last of her belongings, put her plants and her cats in her car, and said goodbye. I don't know when I'll see her again in person. That thought is strange, it…
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…
