this image is what I need, not how I’m feeling For the first week back to the grind after a holiday break that wasn’t particularly awesome, thanks to all kinds of external factors, it was, at best, not ideal, and otherwise, kind of a shit show. Work, frankly, sucked, mostly because a few external entities […]
Unlike my senator and fellow Replacements fan Tim Kaine, the snow here in VA had rather little impact for me. Sure, my office location was technically closed Monday and Tuesday, though since telework means snow days really aren’t a thing anymore, I just worked through it from my desk at home, barely noticing a difference. […]
The New Year’s celebration, was, for me, pretty much non-existent. On December 31, the most exciting thing I did was buy tires and manage stress. I air-fried some brussells sprouts and broccoli, and went to bed before 9pm. So, so exciting. For New Years’ Day, I did the thing I try to do every year […]
As per usual, I’m closing the year out by breaking down my experience into quantifiable elements, because I tend to count things, and it feeds my OCD tendencies. Also, as crappy as the year might feel overall, looking at things from a numbers perspective helps to highlight things that weren’t necessarily so objectively awful, which […]
Yep, Amy and Emily singing Joni captures holiday depression pretty damned well. Gonna be totally honest, I’m not at all feeling the holiday season this year. We’re damned near into the third year of this pandemic, mostly because selfish assholes gonna asshole, I lost a dear, dear friend a week ago whose passing I’m still […]
Yesterday morning, not long after my usual end-of-week song list post celebrating the beginning of my holiday break, we learned that our dear friend, KT Hicks, passed away after more than a year of struggling to overcome the aftereffects of a stroke. She and her family have been part of our lives for what seems […]
So, today’s my last day of work in 2021. The last couple of weeks have been busy with lining everything up for a two week break, but yesterday afternoon I successfully pushed the last bit of virtual paper off my virtual desk that needed pushed, and I’m looking forward to today largely being an exercise […]
As I type this, I’m a little more than twelve hours out from getting my booster shot. Moderna this time, as, while it doesn’t really matter with the mRNA varieties, there’s some evidence that that the Pfizer-Moderna combo provides a bit more protection, and I figured I’d cover all the bases. In terms of side […]
While I was taking my leave of the online world this weekend, another ‘rona variant arrived on the scene, designated Omicron (o), which a much scarier sounding greek letter than Delta (δ), even if we don’t know much of anything about it and it’s actual impact just yet. As for what I’m doing about it, […]
