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…

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…
9-27-20 Catch up time
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?…
9-8-20 Long weekend
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…
8-26-20 Friends and lake time
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…
7-19-20 Comics, plants, friends
Yesterday, the Squirrel Girl comics I ordered got delivered. Three days earlier than I was expecting! What a happy surprise. I only have two more volumes to purchase and then I'll have the full series. It still amazes me that I own comics, multiple volumes of comics. This is not how I saw my life…
6-29-20 Party & balcony
Brittany's birthday party = complete. With Elisabeth's help, I created quite a lovely charcuterie picnic spread yesterday evening, complete with a build your own peanut butter pickle sandwich station. Did anyone else know that was a thing? It's one of Brittany's favorite (and weirdest) combinations, so I had to offer it at the party. Turns…
6-27-20
Today has been a task oriented day. I have gotten some reading in though so it wasn't all go go go. Tomorrow I'm throwing Brittany a picnic birthday party so I had to get stuff for that. I decided I'm going to do a charcuterie spread for her bday dinner since fried cauliflower wings and…
6-15-20 Friend time
Yesterday morning I met up with Brittany at Parker's farmers' market. My purpose was two-fold: get myself some bread and pickled dilly beans and hang out with Brittany. I emailed The Bread Box a month or so ago and asked about their vegan options and when they responded with the long list of delicious sounding…
4-27-20 Day 45
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…
