Shari moved into her new apartment this past Monday. I took a half day and Elisabeth and I helped her transition from one home to another. It all went very smoothly, thanks to Shari's planning and the help of two men and a truck. I was also very impressed with how much we unpacked and…

1-2-21 Ah, new year!
Welp, 2020 has come and gone. I'm okay with that, in fact I might be happy. And while I know that changing the year doesn't really change anything, I can still hope that this year will bring me the covid vaccine and the chance to visit my friends in Oregon and Washington. I don't quite…
12-23-20 My Weekend
This past weekend I went to Shari's parents' house with her to bake cookies. They have a yearly tradition of baking a gigantic amount of cookies that they then make into platters and give out to friends, family, and coworkers. When Shari told me that they make between 100 and 200 dozen cookies in a…
12-14-20 Christmas and Thanksgiving
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…

The colder weather may finally be here. I know I said I was ready for it last month, but I'm maybe not quite as ready as I thought I was. With the colder weather comes a colder apartment, which means my fingers are cold and I don't love cold fingers. I have a rice sock…
8-12-20 Family dinner
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,…
8-2-20 Friends & Family
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…
7-29-20 Family time
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…
