I am on a deadline and trying to wrap up work early today, so let’s get right into it! Quote of the week:“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The — Read More
Weekly Roundup: February 10, 2023
Hello, hello, hello, is there anybody in there? I have “Comfortably Numb” in my head. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then we can just move right along. I’ve been loopy coming out of this ear + sinus infection that I can now add to the list of winter viruses that have rocked — Read More
Weekly Roundup: February 3, 2023
We made it to February! As a meme on Instagram said, “January was a long year.” It feels like the holidays were three months ago, doesn’t it? February is a short month and then we’ll be heading into Spring. I am excited to leave winter, and its viruses, behind (I have another cold. It’s neverending). — Read More
Weekly Roundup: January 27, 2023
Well, I succumbed to the stomach virus of last week, but am now healthy again—as I tell my daughter, “the body is amazing!” It’s been a heavy week with so much violence in the news. I am constantly wrestling with how much to shield myself from headlines. It feels like avoiding reality, and maybe it — Read More
Weekly Roundup: January 20, 2023
Well, I jinxed myself (again) last week by declaring it all quiet on the winter virus front. A plague has descended. I have been spared (so far), but my daughter has been sicker than I’ve ever seen her with this brutal stomach virus. It should pass soon. Here’s hoping for a healthy and happy weekend—for — Read More
Weekly Roundup: January 13, 2022
I just realized it’s Friday the 13th. There are only two Friday the 13ths this year—the next one is October 13, right in the middle of spooky season. I’m not a terribly superstitious person so this date doesn’t mean much to me, but it’s still fun to acknowledge it. Okay, on to the roundup! Quote — Read More
Weekly Roundup: January 6, 2023
Did I just type “2022” instead of “2023”? Yes, yes I did. I thought I was ready to leave 2022 behind, but apparently my subconscious is not so sure. In any case, I hope you’re having a great start to 2023. Mine has been a bit blah as I’m recovering from the holiday frenzy and — Read More
Books I read in 2022
Another year of reading in the books (ha)! You know how I say that reading is a stress reliever for me? Well, the fact that I read 136 books this year goes to show that I’ve had a stressful year. Usually, I barely break 100. I’ve picked some favorites, and included the full list of — Read More
Weekly Roundup: December 30, 2022
Here we are at the end of 2022! It’s been a rough year for me personally and I am ready for January 1. Here’s the last roundup of the year. See you in 2023! Quote of the week:“I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is — Read More
Weekly Roundup: December 23, 2022
Christmas Eve Eve — we’re almost there! I’m wrapping up some work, along with doing some literal wrapping (of gifts), and then going into holiday-break mode (which is more relaxing in my head than it will be in reality). I hope you and yours enjoy the next week, spending it in ways that give you — Read More
