Adventures of a well-rounded geek
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…
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,…
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…
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…
Last week passed quickly and without much ado. I think perhaps I was recuperating from Brittany's birthday party last Sunday. And since interacting with humans in person these days is doubling exhausting than pre-covid times, that took me a week. 😉 Yesterday I got to see both Kayla and my family since it was a…
My company gave everyone a half day on Friday so we could all have self care time. It was a lovely surprise and I spent the time cleaning and journaling. That's kind of self-care, right? If my home is clean I feel a lot more at peace. Regardless what I did with the time, I…
I spent most of the day at Kaitlin's yesterday in celebration of Ollie turning two years old. This child has been in the world for two years, gosh. I sat and watched him and Emily play together and it was such a joy to see his enthusiasm and excitement while eating pretend food. He made…
