Some days I wake up full of energy and jump right into things. This is not one of those mornings. Let’s just all go back to bed and sleep until Saturday. Nah, everything is good. I don’t have a lot going on at the moment, except for all the things that are going on. I’m… Continue reading February 21, 2023

My workplace is holding a breakfast event this morning, and I’m bringing the syrup! This last weekend was calm and I got a good walk in yesterday afternoon. Like everyone, I struggle with exercise, but if I keep the routine up, it goes fine. Soon I’ll be back to biking as well, and I’m already… Continue reading February 20, 2023

Snow day! And I’m actually getting one today, for the most part. I took today off because I have a dental appointment this afternoon, and I thought a ways back, why go to work at all on a day with an appointment, if you don’t have to? My decision seems to have paid off, as… Continue reading February 16, 2023

So much rain yesterday! It made transporting flowers kind of a pain, but it worked out fine. Better than fine, I’d say! That’s about the main thing I was up to yesterday. I found out that the new (and final) season of Star Trek: Picard is going to be released tomorrow, which is really exciting… Continue reading February 15, 2023

Been preoccupied with the best ways to spend my time lately. One will admit that is an important thing to consider, as it is possible to fritter one’s life away with trivialities. Having said that, I think I’ve been a bit too obsessive with this concern and need to back off a little. I don’t… Continue reading February 13, 2023

The snow missed us. I guessed right! Apparently, though, it is hitting the eastern part of Iowa. Sucks to be you, Cedar Rapids! Also I get to wear jeans today because of sports. My relationship to sports is not complicated, but bemusing around this time. I never got into team sports – with the slight… Continue reading February 9, 2023

Planning for a trip in May to New York! Hm, maybe shouldn’t seem so excited? I should keep it cool. Planning for a trip to New York…no big thing… I’ve been reading travel guides, and I’m a reasonably experienced urban traveler these days. There is much to see, and I have baked in enough time… Continue reading February 7, 2023

Glad the temperatures are coming back up. Yesterday I did a lot of driving around to enjoy it, sometimes with the windows down. Still too early to put the top down, maybe I’ll get a couple days next month if I’m lucky. I need to get a hitch for my car so I can take… Continue reading February 6, 2023

The cold fever appears to be about to break. Huzzah! I have an orientation towards novelty – a lot of my time, I have a desire to be doing new and different things. The trouble with getting older is that you start to run out of new things. I referred previously to my ‘looking vertically… Continue reading February 3, 2023

Thank goodness for books. What would I do during the winter if not for them. I listen to audiobooks, I read graphic novels, I read nonfiction, I go to the library. I have a magazine subscription. It’s all enjoyable. When spring arrives, I can bike to the library again. People used to worry that the… Continue reading February 2, 2023
