Fascinated by technology since the Trash 80 came out. A grand lover…of coffee. My patron saint is Grumpy Cat, I live alone by choice, and I read way too much fanfiction. Cursed to live during interesting times.

The better soul of the house, and probably the smartest too. Definitely the cutest. She’s what gets me out of bed in the mornings and makes my life far more joyous every day than I deserve. ♥

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...

Last night I felt really terrible, and I don't know if it was junk food or over-heating or what but I woke up with a proto-migraine which was NOT fun. I did get Keely for a walk, although it was a shorter route through Los Robles, then came home, took some ibuprofen,...

The heat has been miserable — it was still a heat index of 110°F at 5:00 pm in the afternoon yesterday. Getting out early and late is critical, because Keely simply cannot take the heat + sun. Who can? It's not even August yet, which is mind-blowing. Also the storms...

As an interesting aside, it's fascinating to watch the inventory at my crappy local Circle K store from the start of the supply line issues to now. Of course in early days the paper products disappeared, such as toilet paper and paper plates, but there have been some...

My computer is running slowly this morning, I suspect due to a Windows update (whyyyyyyy) but that's par for the course, as I am running slowly as well. Mostly because I was up until near midnight with a friend, hanging out, talking about everything but especially...
6/14/2022 – Post-Bank Day (Tuesday)
Yesterday I spent most of the morning being scared of going to the bank. My "money issues" are pretty legendary for those close to me. My mother raised me to help her with hiding her shopaholic ways, which meant that we had double books; the ones Mother showed Poppa...

I'm always giving you shots across Lake Ella facing east, because they are honestly the most impressive view during dawn, as the sun crests over the trees and sets the clouds on fire. But the view facing west has it's own charms, as the warm morning light suffuses the...

I forgot my camera because I started my audio book before I left the house and got distracted (Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea by Charles Seife...for someone who finds math so perplexing and inscrutable, I sure do find it fascinating), so that's how my day's...

We were out the door around 5:45 am, but it was already 75°F and 85% humidity. So, you know: miserable! But the sun was not even cracking the horizon yet, small blessings! There were a few regulars out, but we were too early for the later ones. Also too early, I...

The attack bird was back! Or rather it was where it was and we scooted around the edges of it's territory as best we could, which we had to do since the stupid bird put its nest right along the only path back to my house. Stupid bird! A friend pointed me to a...
