Got it back just in time to roll over five (virtual) barrels: Overall, the ownership experience with my Scion iM has been a pleasure; it’s a great car, fun and comfortable to drive. Just sporty enough in appearance and drive feel to engage me without being ridiculously powerful and consumptive (note the average MPG figure […]

Don’t Panic. (and happy birthday to me).

…among other things, I went to a Pokemon Go! raid this weekend. What that means is that a huge number of players of this game get together in a Pokestop heavy public area and wander around catching monsters, sharing intel, and generally bringing the social part of this game that overlays the real world to […]

It was a bit of a struggle to get here, I must say. This week’s been rough. Found myself in a bit of a down cycle on the depression continuum the last couple of days. I think I might see the way out of it, but it’s been a hard road the last 48 hours […]

I took yesterday off, to take care of some appointments. I got one in, and lots of drama. The chiropractor experience was magical. My back and shoulders have never felt better. The man is magic.

Yesterday, I finally dropped my car off at the body shop to have the storm damage fixed. As part of the deal, my insurance company is covering a rental car while the professionals replace parts and match paint and all that stuff they’re good at on my 2016 Scion iM. I left the shop yesterday […]

My weekend. I actually got lots of useful little projects done like pruning the wardrobe, replacing the broken handle hardware on my dresser, and doing a good deep cleaning of the fish tank. The big donation bag of clothes got me thinking of downsizing in other ways, so I spent some time looking up potential […]

Being Friday, I shall continue my tradition of posting a random list of tunes pulled off of an interest streaming service, and offering up a short summary of my week. The tunes’ll come eventually, I promise. As for the week, it’s been less than optimal. First of all, the kitten (who’s really past two years […]
