Adventures of a well-rounded geek
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,…
Sunday was a pretty great day for me. I made some cookie dough, took care of my plants, and then went to H Mart to grab ingredients for two new dishes Elisabeth and I are going to try over the next few days. My trip to H Mart was way less stressful than it was…
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…
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…
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…
This weekend's homemade breakfast was scones. We haven't been able to find self rising flour this past month so I made my own, which, for the most part, was successful. The scones rose quite beautifully but they weren't as sweet as I wanted them. I don't know if that was caused by my flour mixture…
Yesterday Elisabeth and I went to Kaitlin's for dinner and it was absolutely wonderful. My family fills me with such a feeling of love, it's great. Emmie had to go to the doctor and so she brought back medical masks, one for herself, one for me, and one for Elisabeth. She asked us to put…
My platelets are still normal! It's been a month since my last infusion and my platelets appear to be holding steady, I'm thrilled. I will have to continue getting my blood tested but the time in between tests will increase, so I go back in three weeks and six weeks and go from there. My…
Friday my initial intention was to write about my week. I had a really busy one and had no time to write so I wanted to share my happenings. But then The Good Place finale happened and my emotions dictated that I write a different kind of post instead, a more reflective one. #Noregrets. I…
It's basically impossible to describe how adorable and wonderful Emmie is. I've been told she's a lot like me and I tend to agree. She loves being outside, likes reading, sometimes she needs alone time and can easily play by herself, is intelligent, learns quickly, and is very capable. I'd like to think that describes…
