It was a week. Lots of work, lots of homework. Only one full week left of hell class and then the hell final. It’s going to be a busy week this week making sure I’ve got everything turned in and…

Urban Chipmunk

When I was a kid, I mostly listened to my dad’s music. ELO, Little River Band, Billy Joel, etc. But I did somehow get a record that was all mine, Urban Chipmunk by the Chipmunks. Being as young as I…

Week four of “hell class” in the books. Just three more full weeks and then the final. I’m about 15% confident I’ll even pass the class at this point, but we’ll see. I’m mostly just down because this week’s test…

The rest of the family flew out to California this week to finally have my mother-in-law’s memorial. We had a great one planned over New Years but a wildfire had different plans. So they spread her ashes in the San…

Week 2 of my horrible AIT 512 Algorithms and Data Structures class. There is so much work to do, it’s going to be tough to ensure I maintain self-care. 40+ hours of work per week, 25+ hours of school per…

This week had its ups and downs. On the bright side, Spring is coming! The temps keep bouncing up and down, but the plants are trying their best. There’s also a new Crumbl cookies near my office. That will be…

This week … I had a week break between classes, so I tried to relax a little each day after work (instead of doing homework) Our Rubi turned 3 years old I made Bangers and Mash for St. Patrick’s Day…

It was my “finals” week for my first class of the semester. Between studying for the final, finishing our eight week long project, one of our programs at work being extra demanding, and still being down a car while we…

The hits keep rolling in. We found out my cousin was killed in a car accident. It had been a few years since I’d seen him, but I am very close to his parents (my aunt and uncle). My heart…

The Real Reason To Go Electric

I got into a little back-and-forth with somebody on Facebook. I know, I know … never engage anybody about anything on Facebook. It’s like screaming at a wall. At any rate, this person posted some flippant comment about how it…

GRAAAAAGHH

a kid protesting against the war in ukraine

I’m so fricking impressed with the Ukrainian people. I feel for the Russians who don’t agree with their government’s actions but aren’t allowed to protest or speak out. I’m also impressed with those Russians who have risked imprisonment to protest…

Still a bit of rearranging happening around the house. We moved the office to the room where the library was (the extra bedroom). We bought a new daybed for the extra room and a TV stand that fits in the…

The bookshelves were finished last weekend and now the library is in the basement! Looks great. I finished reading “Binti” (the first one) by Nnedi Okorafor. Great story. High winds caused a tree branch to fall on my car. Still…

We’re re-arranging the house a bit. We’re moving the family room to the main level, then the library moves to the basement and the extra room becomes my office. We have a handyman installing some shelves in the basement and…

5/52

Starting to get a grasp on my task list at work. But it feels like for every one thing I cross off, three things get added. Light week of schoolwork though, fortunately. Unfortunately, that just means the professor has more…

4/52

Another busy week of work. The spring semester has kicked off and my information science class is going to be a decent amount of work. It’s been cold. It snowed a bit. It’s fox mating season, so the locals have…

It was a busy work week this week. Tons of meetings. I guess with the MLK Jr holiday and coming back from Christmas/New Years, a lot of people had to catch up on stuff. That worked out to less time…

2/52

Last time I shaved was the day before the fire in Colorado. So, I guess I’m growing out a beard. The girls are having a Jane Austen day and watching all the shows. I took the opportunity to knock some…

We’re home from our very eventful trip to Colorado for Christmas and New Years. If you haven’t been following, my brother-in-law’s house burned down in the Marshall Fire outside Boulder. We were staying with them. As horrible as the day…

This year, instead of a Project 365 in which I post a photo or photos every single day, I’m going to do a larger post or gallery every week. Some days I just don’t do anything and then I end…
