Adventures of a well-rounded geek
This evening I went to Kaitlin's for dinner. I didn't get to see them nearly enough last Saturday so I had to go over, I just had to. I laugh so much when I'm around my family. There's always something funny or interesting going on, or both at the same time. Emmy was a fantastic…
My cousin, Amanda, and her family have moved to Colorado! They got in this past week and yesterday we met up at the park for breakfast. Kaitlin and Kevin even came over with Emmy and Ollie. I was thrilled. I enjoyed myself quite a bit and didn't go back home until the afternoon. We sat…
Family blog time! Yesterday I had dinner with my family (some really tasty sesame tofu). Last time I had been over there, a couple of weeks ago, Kaitlin had been working on Ollie's new big boy bed. She and Kevin had purchased this log cabin-style bed from someone nearby and Kaitlin was repainting it and…
After work on Monday, Elisabeth and I met up with Kayla for a picnic dinner. We went to the lovely Ketring Park again and lounged on the grass, eating our garbanzo bean sandwiches and animal crackers, and talking about Kayla's moving logistics, work, and baklava (turns out I can shift any conversation to the topic…
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…
Last night ended up being quite joyful. I danced to my music while waiting for Elisabeth to pick me up to go to Felfel (she isn't a fan of the heat so she didn't want to walk over). And I made this gif of myself that I quite like. I think I'm really warming up…
The bats are still here! Last night I saw them again. Whatever the roof people were doing yesterday it wasn't killing or trapping them, thankfully. This time around I grabbed my phone and attempted to record their evening flight. At first I was very nervous to get up close, and I jumped back after the…
I am happy to report that the Mixed Taste event last night led to laughter and even a couple of gasps from this person right here. Did you know way back when (like, 50 million years ago), our planet had forests from one pole to the other? There were palm trees in Alaska. And there…
Sunday I didn't have any plans, and it actually turned out okay, I really enjoyed my day and wasn't anxious at all. I dropped off my compost at Dirt Coffee, took care of my plants (I discovered I killed my last air plant, the one I had brought with me from the house, so that…
On Friday, I got out of work an hour early so I could go to the blood doctor. This was the first time that I felt 100% confident that my platelets were normal. I had no worries whatsoever and that felt great. And lo and behold, my platelets are normal! /celebratory dance. I have to…
