Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I have the whole weekend to myself. Just me and Pippin. I initially planned on going camping with Shari and Elisabeth and Shari's family this weekend but I didn't feel comfortable leaving Pippin by himself and I didn't feel comfortable making someone else give him pills when it was a struggle for me. It's a…
Pippin has been having stomach issues for the past two plus weeks which has resulted in me taking him to both my vet and to an animal hospital. It's been extremely stressful, scary, and overwhelming. Last week and weekend was absolutely insane and emotionally draining, but Pippin is home now and that in itself is…

Ptarmigan Birds. They're a part of our every day life. They greet us in the morning with their cute little chirps (or maybe their annoying, never ending cries). They fly above us and we search the trees to spot them or their nests and those precious eggs. Sometimes they poop on us. Birds are these…
Full disclaimer: I don't buy physical books very often these days so my experience with bookstores is limited. Generally, my go to is to check out an ebook from the library, but local bookstores still have their place and I can still appreciate and endorse them so here I am with this post. While I…
This weekend I went to the pool on Saturday and Sunday (and Friday evening too, actually). Not only am I trying to get the most out of my rent, but I'm also trying to enjoy my life AND stay cool in these hotter summers we're getting. Shari has been such an encouragement for going to…

We all gotta eat. So why not pay a lot of money and then proceed to stuff yourself for the next two hours? Have I hooked you yet? I realize that's perhaps not the most appealing way I could have introduced the variety of food events and festivals that Denver offers throughout the year. But,…
Man it's been a while since I've picked up a dog's poop. I don't miss it. A cat is so much easier, Pippin goes into his litterbox whenever he wants. I don't have to take him outside to do his business. I appreciate that. Still, I enjoyed my time dog sitting for the past few…
Denver likes its crafters just as much as its geeks - and I'm not talking about the craft beer enthusiasts. Although, Denver loves those people too, I just can't speak on that. Wait! Yes I can! Grandma's House has the perfect for some combination of cross stitching and beer every Sunday afternoon. They call it…

Shari and I walked around Sloan's Lake for the first time this past weekend. I've lived here for 9 years and had never been. I've driven by it, sure, but for some reason I had never taken the time to specifically visit and walk the park. I had been missing out. A 2.5 mile sidewalk…
