Adventures of a well-rounded geek
I spent the weekend at my family's again because life is short and vaccines are here. Plus, it was Easter and I remember feeling so sad that I couldn't be with my family last Easter. Not this year! We made breakfast burritos for breakfast on Saturday and then Kaitlin and the family came over and…
This weekend was packed with happenings. Saturday I got my hair cut, dropped off stuff for the thrift store, and went on a walk at Bible Park with Shari. The day turned out to be sunnier and slightly warmer than I had anticipated so I picked up sushi for me and Shari and instead of…
Instead of visiting my family in Colorado Springs this weekend like I had planned, because a good portion of snow was predicted, I stayed at home. I had taken a half day on Friday so I could spend more time with my family but since I didn't visit them, I used that time instead to…
I discovered who my meetup Secret Santa is! On Friday, those of us who participated in the Secret Santa hopped on a video call and opened the gifts we had secretly given one another. I had given my match, Mel, a kind of comfort gift box - fuzzy socks, lotion, soap, and a list of…
This weekend was, overall, really fantastic. I didn't have any social obligations so Saturday morning I took my time. I painted my nails and I finally sewed my very own mask. Look at that cute heart mask. I ended up breaking my sewing machine needle while I was sewing this because I had so much…

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…
Last night I was in the baking mood so I made snickerdoodle cookies. They did not turn out soft and puffy like the recipe said but the taste was delicious and the recipe is promising. It was also just fun to make them and to be happy throughout the process. Elisabeth and I danced to…
The past few evenings have been filled with friends and relaxation. I video chatted with my family Wednesday night and it did wonders on my mental health. Yay! I showed off my paintings and we played an online game that Kevin had found. I can't remember the name of it but know that it's similar…
On Friday I allowed myself to wear exercise leggings. I wanted something comfortable and figured I've been doing fairly well staying put together so I could let loose a bit this one Friday. I was comfortable, yes, but by the end of the day I changed into jeans because I felt too messy. My brain…
Friday after work, Elisabeth and I drove to Fire on the Mountain restaurant and picked up our dinner. It was the first time I had driven in weeks and it felt really good, surprisingly. There were way more people on the highway than I thought should have been out and that was frustrating. But, I…
