So yeah yeah it’s Saturday not Friday but on Thursday this happened: Last night I was burning up with a fever. So much so that I sick-bought a watercolor palette from a TikTok video and wasn’t very aware of it…
Show us your books, November 2021
Book roundup time! Another 2-book month but by the next books roundup, my exam will be behind me! Hooray! And then it’ll be silly holiday books for the rest of the year. I sure miss pleasure reading. The Night the…
What I’m Listening to: Pentatonix (again)
I listen to Pentatonix all year, but I’m always a fan of their holiday music. Wait don’t go! This is snowy and wintery but it’s not Christmassy! Watch it! Love it! Seriously though, when Scott comes in with the Italian…
Friday 5: November Rain
Happy Friday! My mother-in-law is finally here! She arrived Wednesday night (WM flew out Wednesday morning and came back with her Wednesday night) and we’re all kind of figuring out the new normal. So many new normals. Murphy is having…
October 2021 Extras
Boo, hiss, here comes November. Second-worst month of the year. Dead, wet leaves. Cold, damp air. People throwing hissy fits if you Holiday it up too early. Here are some thoughts and photos from October that were a little thin…
Friday 5: Yuputka!
Happy Friday! Lots of sighs of relief this week as some medical tests came back good for me and for others and we can slightly unclench and return to just a normal pandemic-level clenching. I’ve been clenched since September 2019….

Friday 5: Pew Slag
Happy, er, Saturday. I was very sleepy last night, even missed movie night which was Encino Man – a movie that I put on the list! In Bummer, dude. This week’s Friday 5 is PEW SLAG. What recently made you…
A trip to Philadelphia and three great things about working from home
Last Monday I went into the office to have my laptop looked at. It turns out all she needed as a blowout (as do I) but I thought going into Philly would be a fun diversion from the usual stay…
What I’m Watching: Moriah Elizabeth
She paints, she bakes, she fixes broken squishies. She’s Moriah Elizabeth and I love both her amazing talent and her self-deprecating humor. She uploads a 15-20 minute video every Friday. Filed under: I-could-be-your-Mom-but-I-love-your-Youtube-content
Friday 5: We learned more from a three-minute record, baby
Happy Friday, friends! I had a very good adulting week, including having an electrician in to upgrade some old outlets. That will likely be the beginning of a very beautiful and expensive friendship, because if there is any one thing…
About this space travel thing…
Or: My complicated feelings about space. Not social distancing space… outer space. I love space, I love astronauts, I love rockets. One of the coolest things I ever watched was a nighttime space shuttle launch when I was visiting with…
