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. ♥
3/11/2022 – Friday
A bit of a miscalculation on my behalf this morning. It was raining hard when we got up, so I waited until there was a break in the downpour and took us out for a walk. I went to Los Robles, figuring if the rain started again it would be a quicker route back...
3/10/2022 – Thursday
Got an early start, slept better than the night before by far! Yesterday I did get some work done but not a lot, decided to take it easy and let my body recover. Which means I got out for a late walk with Keely last night, and came across what I call the Three Old...
3/9/2022 – Wednesday starting slow
I did something foolish yesterday evening, resulting in a very disrupted night due to GERD. *cries* As a result, after walking Keely, I crawled back into bed for a couple of hours of blissfully-pain-free rest. I loathe the lost time but on the other hand, the benefit...
3/8/2022 – Tuesday
Yesterday was, I think, a great Monday to start my new lifestyle. I got a lot of work done but ended my "workday" before 5:00pm, still felt rested, and spent the evening goofing off like...like...a normal person? Or something like that! Turns out that when you do not...
3/7/2022 – Monday!
I'm just now starting the process of "finding my groove" to my self-employed workday. When I trialed it over the 3-week winter vacation, I fell into a solid groove where my best working hours were from 10am-3pm, give or take, with a break for brunch. So, that's what...
3/6/2022 – Sunday
I actually sat down at my desk a little before 9:00 am, but mostly goofed off on social media for a bit before settling down to edit today's photo and write this post. It's now 10:30 am, so I suppose I'm still on track! We got out around 7:00 am for our walk, and it...
3/5/2022 – Saturday
As I write this, it is 10:30 am on Saturday, which makes no nevermind to me because I no longer exist according to a "work week." Every day can be a work day, or not! Of course, given that the countdown is on to me completely running out of money most days are going...
3/4/2022 – Friday, the aftermath
Leaving work yesterday was a low-key affair. At 4:30 pm, my friend KimMC was there to pick me up. I had only the small desk lamp and my shawl left to gather up, as I had slowly emptied my office of personal belongings over the previous days. I said goodbye to the two...
3/3/2022 – Goodbye, OAS
This is it. This is the last time I stand at this wretched bus stop out front the Tallahassee Senior Center to watch dawn pass me by: I'm feeling a bit shocky about it, but also? Very good. It's a risk but for many reasons it is a risk I am willing to take. It's not...
3/1/2022 – Tuesday (countdown continues!)
As I write this, my countdown widget tells me it is 1 day, 21 hours, and 13 minutes to the start of my last day here at the OAS. Whew. In other news, though, it is duckling season! I hope these early broods make it. I took this photo this morning, but the light was...
2/28/2022 – Monday (COUNTDOWN)
I think part of me is still in shock that I'm resigning from my job. Like. WHAT!?!?!?! 👀 Yet I am! And I think that, while it's been a long time coming, it's a decision that I could only make now. I finally have the pieces I need in place because I have been working...
2/27/2022 – Sunday
Another night of nightmares...stress about, well, everything manifesting in my dreams. Not too surprising, the world is on fire to hotter degrees than usual and "usual" was bad enough. But at least our morning walk was lovely. We got out around 7:30 am and the sun was...
