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.  ♥

12/14/2021 – Tuesday (let the week begin!)

Today I am trying something different. I have noticed over the past few years that I don't really "wake up" mentally until about 10 am. This is usually at least 4 to 5 hours after I officially get out of bed, which seems excessive so I've always convinced myself that...

12/12/2021 – Sunday

It was a slow, dreary, damp morning for a walk. Keely took me up around the senior center then over to Duval St. and up to the Publix plaza. In an odd choice (for her), Keely decided to go along the sidewalk up high along the back of the plaza. It's separated from a...

12/11/2021 – Saturday at End Times Country Buffet

It is Saturday which means FINALS WEEK IS DONE! *flops over* It was not actually as stressful for me as my colleagues such as AnnC, who is the testing center sacrifice supervisor or CarlaL who had to hold down the front desk. Wave after wave of students crashed on our...

12/7/2021- Tuesday? where did monday go?

Careful observers of this blog will realize that there was no post yesterday. It was the first day of finals week, which is always a little unchained with schedules being upended and offices like mine being farmed out as impromptu testing rooms, but yesterday lived up...

12/4/2021 – foggy bottom Saturday

Keely and I both slept in until about 6:30 a.m., so the sun was trying to break through the fog by the time we got out the door. As you can see, the sun was not entirely successful. I love the bleakness of this shot, for reasons I probably don't want to explore at...

12/3/2021 – Friday, oh Friday

It's Friday, so for working stiff's like me it's the end of the workweek. I really wanted to stay in bed but I was awake at our regular hour so Keely and I headed out for our walk. ...in an unusual move, I wrote out this post then deleted most of it and started over....

12/2/2021 – Thursday

I almost wrote "Tuesday" instead of Thursday, so that's how today's going. Got to work to find out that our accessible conversion golfcarts had been attacked overnight, putting them out of service for who knows how long. The real issue though is the hate crime part,...

12/1/2021 – cue “December ALREADY?” freakout

Well, it's December. *looks around* I guess? I still sometimes feel like we are working through March 2020 2.0, while other times I feel like we're five years ahead in dystopia. Which I suppose we are, one way or another. And while I'm very much in a downer mood about...

11/30/2021 – Tuesday

I think the COVID19 booster vax side effects were still running me ragged yesterday, as by the time I got home from work I was flat exhausted. I mean to record another module for my online course, "Out from Fanfic," but instead ate half a dinner and then crashed into...

11/28/2021 – Sunday (revenge of the covid booster shot)

Yesterday afternoon was great, spent going to lunch with a friend and then perusing a used books store (danger! danger! ...yes I bought some books, I'm not a monster!). But then at about 2 p.m. I started feeling tired and getting a headache. I just felt so fuzzy...
