It's a fight between typing "6/1/2022" and "7/1/2020" and nothing is right. I need more caffeine! We did not get out of the house until 6:45 am, but that's down to Keely. My alarm went off at 5:30 am as usual and she usually stumbles into my room after that to pester...
As always, Thursday is a slow start. I think it's because I work very hard on Wednesdays when I go with my friend Gina to the co-working event at Domi Station — it's not even about being at an erstwhile "office," it's that we spend a lot of time talking about our...
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... That was stuck on a lamp post at Lake Ella, for context. It's been a tough week...year? Decade? Dunno. It's not just politics; it's climate change, it's pandemic, it's friends who have suffered tragic losses across the board along with...
The State of Things pushed me into a depressed fugue state for most of the weekend, so no updates to this blog happened. All that did happen were far too many glasses of vodka...bad life choices but also, valid IMHO. Anyway, here was a brilliant cloud from this...

It's getting to a be an old meme by now but YIKES is it hot out. It was already over 80°F at 6:30 am — in fact it was still 86°F at 10:30 pm last night! My apartment is in full-cave mode, with all the blinds closed and curtains drawn. The reflective window film I put...
Today is brought to you by the letter "H": heat, humidity, and hell: Yes, that's right, it felt like 92°F at 8:30 am. Although to be fair, the humidity is unusually low: 65%. Which is one reason the temp is forecast to go to 104°F, which means the heat index will be...
Finally feeling back up to normal! Two days hiding in the dark with fans blowing on me and sleeping a lot worked a charm. *resigned sigh* Definitely not COVID (yay!) and mostly likely mild heat stroke (booooo!), so that means I need to be careful this summer. At least...
Feeling much better today, no headache looming. Took naps off and on all day yesterday which helped a lot. I'm still feeling tired today but not lethargic, so I'm counting it as a win! Doubt I'll be too productive today, but eh, not gonna stress over it. This morning...
