I meant to write about this a little while ago – I wanted to wait until I had the whole story, and then time just got away from me. Since we’ve been Gwen’s humans, every now and again, she pees on our bed. It is insanely frustrating, even more so when, for whatever reason, she… Continue reading To Gwen, or Not to Gwen
Here we are, another month in the year that no one asked for. (I know that sounds grim, but really, did you have global pandemic on your wish list? If you did, we need to talk.) I read fewer books this month, but more than made up for it in tv watching. I’m not sure… Continue reading Monthly Media Roundup – July 2020
This is a recipe that, admittedly, I haven’t made in a while. But it’s a much beloved recipe, for sure. The recipe is supposed to make a two layered cake, but honestly, I’m known to just make a 9×13 and then pile the peanut butter, bananas, and whipped cream right on top. It’s easier for… Continue reading Elvis Cake Recipe
My friend De got me a subscription to these Silk + Sonder planners, and I have fallen in love. They are gorgeous, and have monthly themes (July is Passion), and prompts, and a very nice balance of guided material and open space to play with. Plus, there’s a Facebook community to help generate ideas –… Continue reading Of Silk + Sonder
Give me a high five. No, really. I finished 8 books this month. One of them was an audio book – John Scalzi’s “Agent to the Stars”, and it’s read by Wil Wheaton. It’s a very good book. A really good blend of cheeky with just the right hits of seriousness. I wholeheartedly recommend it.… Continue reading Monthly Media Roundup – June 2020
The summary of this update is: I’ve been to the doctor twice now, run a bunch of tests, have some answers, but not the answers I was looking for, and am in a waiting pattern for medicine to kick in. Now, the longer version. For my first doctor visit, they took a bunch of blood… Continue reading PCOS Update
I got tired of experimenting with flowers on my island and coming up empty handed. Also, parts of my island were being overrun with flowers. So I made a little hybrid chart in my monthly planner. It’s not pretty, but feel free to steal it.
I’m just going to say up front that this post involves discussion of women’s health, including and especially menstrual cycles. If you’re uncomfortable with this topic, please feel free to skip this post. I know, if you’re a relative of mine, you’re wondering what the heck I’m doing talking about my period on the internet… Continue reading My PCOS Story
Ha, well, so much for writing more last month. Time these days just feels really weird, as if nothing is moving and then suddenly the month is over. Anyway, let’s get to it, shall we? As with last month, the movie theaters are still closed, so I have little new to report on that front.… Continue reading Monthly Media Roundup – May 2020
Let’s be honest here, this is a roundup of the meager amount of books I’ve read this month. I don’t know how this pandemic is treating you, but the days feel like they take forever, but simultaneously, I’m getting nothing done half the time. Time just is, and I’m just existing, but if I zoom… Continue reading Monthly Media Roundup – April 2020
