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. ♥

We're well past spring into the dog days of summer, which will unfortunately last until mid/late October. However there are a few perks, mostly visual, as in this ornamental landscaping at an otherwise entirely bland office building on Thomasville Road: Keely and I...

Last night, I was distracted by watching traffic on 6th Avenue while Keely was sniffing around a bush. She bounced away and that's when I realized she had stepped in and stuck her snout into a fire ant colony. These things are the stuff of nightmares, and I was...

Today was thrown off because I managed to score a visit to my GP doctor for [redacted]. I'll explain in further posts I'm sure but for now just know that that nothing is wrong, and I'm healthy, this was more of a research/reference issue. Anyway, that means once I got...

I'm not sure why I'm excited that it's Thursday, but I guess maybe because it's not Monday? Ha! Elsa the Tropical Storm went over the state yesterday, but as I anticipated did not do much for us tucked up here in the panhandle. Most of the worst weather was on the...

Hurricane Day! ....or not quite, as Elsa quickly reverted to a tropical storm once it got close to the coast, and most of the bad weather is east of the eye, so in short we'll get some rain here in Tallahassee but nothing serious. Keely, nonetheless, is displeased...

I was in denial about it being a work day so we were not out the door until 6:30 am — summer is well in hand as dawn was nearly over, the sun occassionally breaking through the thick morning clouds over the tall pines. I miss winter so much! It was a dreary morning...

Holiday Monday! Which means the next four days at work will probably be stressful and busy, but for now I'm enjoying not having to log into work and pretend to care (I care! ...about some of it...sometimes... *grimaces*) Good news is that I saw actual ducklings! A new...

Today is "Independence Day", July 4th, in my country (USA). It is a holiday I was raised to be excited about, to be proud of, to enjoy without remorse. It's ironic because my parents, who were very liberal, taught me early about the darker side of colonialism in...
7/3/2021 – Blessing of the Bats
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that the flying things I often saw during dusk were bats. My brain would just see "dark flying thing" in the sky and label it "some kind of bird" and that was that. Eventually I stopped to watch them, I think...
7/1/2021 – Thursday
In an odd twist, I keep thinking today is Friday. It is not. It is Thursday! Which at least I remembered early enough to make it to the office on time! I was extremely tired last night, I think due to eating a large dinner late in the evening. It's weird but I'm just...
6/30/2021 – Wednesday
Writing this late as I slept in and then got busy at work once I got into the office. (We've been told that we must all start showing up full time at the office starting August 1st, which I have feelings about, but in the meantime, I have another month of hybrid...

There was a bit of a flash storm late yesterday, and we're still damp from it this morning because nothing every dries out completely in Florida. But, it was clear and only 72°F, so all in all it was very pleasant out. It was a doggy morning, too. My neighbor Larry is...
