and spring is officially right around the corner. The nagging remnants of superstition are begging me not to say this, but it looks as if we (where I live, at least) have made it through the winter with relative ease (knock on wood). There had been some chatter about a potential upcoming snow dump Monday or Tuesday, but I’m looking at the forecast right now and it is showing negligible snow...
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Work has picked up, which is a good thing overall; but it’s also making it harder to find time for writing, which is a bad thing. This morning is the first morning in a short while that there isn’t any work available immediately after logging in, so I’m taking the opportunity to get in a little wordwork. Spellcheck does not like the word...
Hand-picked brands and retailers that I use when shopping for myself, my family, and my friends. Thanks in advance for your support! 💜
It’s been just over a week since my last blog post. I’ve been struggling with some stuff and kind of falling into a bit of a depressive pit. Not at all unusual for this time of year, though the winter has been especially mild this season, so perhaps the weather of the season isn’t as responsible as I once thought it was. There have been several absolutely gorgeous days–warm (60s Fahrenheit) and...
I meant to be. Really, I did. But then I thought Eh, how about reading just a little? Big mistake. Huge. I was only planning on a chapter or two. Instead, I finished the book. And it didn’t stop there. After I closed my Kindle and snuggled down to actually go to sleep, my brain suddenly kicked into high gear. I guess I could have shrugged it off and forced myself to sleep. Hooked myself up with...
It’s Sunday morning. My coffee is lukewarm. It’s cool outside, but not cold. Warm enough that my senior dog opts to plop down in the corner of the deck, rest her nose on the bottom railing, and stare off into the distance. I’m not sure what she can see. She will be 15 this summer. Her eyes are hazed over. When she was a bit younger, this was the spot from which she’d wait...
I really dislike annual physical appointments. So much so, that this time I put it off an extra two months. I also kept “forgetting” that I needed to get my fasting bloodwork done. Driving to the lab first thing in the morning without even a sip of coffee is nightmare level for me. Coffee is one of the very first things I do in the morning to get my eyes open and my brain working...
What’s your favorite candy? Today’s daily prompt brought to us via the Jetpack mobile app and this morning’s inability to think of anything. 😳 A nagging part of my brain really wants me to respond to this prompt with what it perceives as the socially acceptable response from a woman: Candy? Oh, no no no no. I only eat candy on special occasions and during catastrophic life...
Last night, basically on a whim of “Okay, that’s it, I’ve had enough!” I cleared off the entire top of my desk, dropped all the clutter and junk it’s accumulated into a cardboard box, took down six million (slight exaggeration here) mini Post-it notes, unplugged all the cords and wires, and piled all my computer components and accessories on the bed. Then I just...
Spent some time poking around in the mobile app recently. I made the switch from the WordPress app to the Jetpack app, though I really don’t see any functional differences and am not sure I get the point of there being two separate apps. But the WordPress app kept prompting me to switch. I have to say, that I find the WordPress app icon much more pleasing to look at than the Jetpack...
Oh, no! Biographical info? Uhhh... gimme a few minutes to think on it...
