Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I am not going back to work until Tuesday! Woot. Initially I was going to take the Amtrak down to Grand Junction but for a variety of reasons all relating to covid, I decided I needed to cancel that trip. I will find my way over there some other time. And instead of cancelling my…
Guys. Guys! Guess what? My platelets are still normal! /happy dance. I went in this morning wearing the beautiful floral mask Kaitlin made me (it's my favorite) and ten minutes later I was literally dancing in the parking lot because my platelets are still normal. I'm dancing in my chair right now as I write…
I saw some of my coworkers in person on Wednesday! One of my coworkers suggested that a group of us meet up and have a social distancing dinner one day and you know I was totally down for that. So we met in our building's parking lot, set up chairs six plus feet apart, and…
Welp, it's been two days since I planted everything and not surprisingly, I'm still loving all my green plant babies! I wake up and look over at the pothos on my bedside table and I smile. I'm so excited for the day when it starts to trail and I can have it climbing on the…
Today has been a plant heavy day. Before breakfast I transplanted some of my house plants that needed larger homes and gave my new calathea (that I got from the Botanic Gardens) a hand me down pot of its own. The calathea is doing quite well and is opening up its leaves to show off…
I surprised Kaitlin at her home on Thursday. She does so much and is so thoughtful and loving to others that I wanted to do something nice for her. I also wanted to see her because I love her so it wasn't 100% selfless but I'll take what I can get. Showing people that I…
Monday after work, Elisabeth and I drove to Tagawa Gardens' parking lot to meet Brittany so she could show me the art piece I had commissioned from her. I had seen a rough sketch of the piece but not the finished, colored product. Upon seeing the completed portrait, I was astounded. Amazed. Shocked. She drew…
No more counting days. I saw my family yesterday, breaking my isolation, so I think that means I can stop counting. Is covid over? Definitely not. I won't be doing pre-covid things, I won't be seeing all the people I used to see, but I will start to see my family more and a friend…
What happened today? I always try to celebrate the little moments, especially now, but sometimes it's hard to come up with stuff. Not today though I don't think. Today I felt cute in my jean dress, cat tights, and converse. Cat tights for the win. I'm still working on wearing clothes that I feel good…
Well, I tried making vegan blondies last night, inspired by The Melting Pot fondue Elisabeth and I are getting this Friday (they have vegan chocolate and vegan cheese options!). I say "tried" because they aren't very good. As I told Elisabeth last night, "Vegan baking will NOT get the best of me!" I don't quite…
