Hello friends! I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but decided yesterday that I'd take the entire week off instead untz untz untz. It's weird that I feel a little guilty about this. I keep coming up with justifications internally (I've only had two days off since the New Year! I'm burned out!… Continue reading A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That

Staycation 2020
STAYCATION, ALL I EVER WANTED STAYCATION, HAD TO GET AWAY Morning friends! Somehow, we are now officially halfway through this dumpster fire of a year. But onto more positive topics - it is the first day of my staycation! I definitely limped to the finish line on this one. I love my job but finding… Continue reading Staycation 2020
FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Happy Monday, friends! How have you been? Things are good here. I thought I had this quarantine life figured out, but June was a little tough! I think I finally realized things won't be back to normal soon, even though it appears to be an American past time to pretend that the virus doesn't exist.… Continue reading FO – Seaside Bunting, and Other Odds and Ends
Fulfillment with the Familiar
Happy Sunday, friends! I'm relaxing after a busy week at work (which extended a bit into Saturday, as well). Yesterday we took the pup on another hiking trip. It was a new park and we basically had it all to ourselves. It was beautiful! The weather was sunny and in the 80s, and I was… Continue reading Fulfillment with the Familiar

A Chapter Closes
Happy New Year, friends! It's hard to believe that it's 2020 already, much less the start of a new decade! Will you walk down memory lane with me for a bit, as I think about this past decade? By January 2010, I'd been in Austin for just two years but it didn't feel like home… Continue reading A Chapter Closes
Snow Wimp
So, yesterday it snowed. I begrudgingly watched it outside my window, cursing nature for not sticking with my selfish schedule. I had my performance review Monday; how could I drive in the snow? I didn't think about it much before falling asleep, because I knew it would stress me out too much. I sent my… Continue reading Snow Wimp
‘Tis the Season
Happy Thanksgiving friends! This month has flown away from me and I can hardly believe it. Work has been very busy and stressful. Lots of deliverables, lots of those ~hard-earned~ lessons about project management as I continue working through this steep learning curve. Can't I just skip the part where I make mistakes so I… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season

The days are getting… Continue reading Nesting Season Commences
