So, my little “time away from work” was, by definition, “time away from work”, as I didn’t log into work on either Friday or Monday. Doesn’t mean that work issues weren’t living rent-free in my brain for at least three of the four days. Damn. I can’t catch a break, even when I schedule one. […]

I was hoping this was going to be a better week than the last, really I was. It rather wasn’t, especially Wednesday. A couple of weeks back, I misread a couple of cells on a spreadsheet cost estimate, leading to me entering the wrong number in another cell of another spreadsheet for a data call. […]

It was, as they say, a weekend. I accomplished some things that needed accomplished and got a little much-needed rest. Otherwise, highlights include filing the taxes and “winning” February Album Writing Month by posting my fourteenth song Sunday afternoon. That said, I was hardly the weekend focus, and that’s okay. The real focus around these […]

Another weekend, another ice storm in the forecast. Joy. Looking at the most recent maps, I’m hopeful that it won’t be terrible in this corner of the world, I’m also kind of bracing for the worst…again. Sure, we were only out 36 hours last weekend, though when reviewing history, two weeks out is not an […]

Well, this weekend was fun. The big 2021 ice storm started doing it’s thing around here on Friday morning, icing up the roads, the trees, the cars, the everything. None of us left the house Friday or Saturday, because the driveway was an ice rink, and we’re still on ‘Rona time anyway. We watched movies, […]

It’s Friday. About damned time. I’ll be honest, it’s been a heavy week. Accomplished quite a bit, and maybe drank a little too much, but all with an unmistakable air of frustration and bleh. Finally got the lawn guys mostly sorted, and my property is mostly clear of crap before the snowstorm. That effort was […]

H/T to friend Amber for this one Apart from the schizophrenic southern weather, this weekend wasn’t bad. Not saying it was particularly atypical; after all, our world is one where there isn’t a hell of a lot of novelty right now. I watched a couple of movies, finished a book and started another, made a […]

This week’s been a strange one. The weather’s been bizarre; swinging from three inches of snow to start the week to hitting damned near 70° yesterday afternoon (and making for a wonderful day to *finally* get out for a brisk three mile hike). It’s raining this morning, which I should have expected, since after some […]

By the time you’re reading this, there should be a small army of leaf blowers scraping autumn off of my property. I also have a couple of phone calls Friday morning, so that should make the work day interesting. It’s been, as they say, a week. I’ve been a little on edge emotionally, and again, […]

Woke up early this morning to see a light dusting of snow on the cars in the driveway. It’s pretty and all, but I fully expect it to be gone by noon. When it goes, I hope it takes the moisture with it, because if all goes well, tomorrow I’ve got the lawn/landscaping company coming […]
