Half lazy, half every other excuse

Yikes, I didn’t realize how long it had been since the last time I posted anything here. Well, I started this blog for one big reason: To improve my frazzled daisy self one petal at a time. Funny thing is, when one does something like that, one tends to not have time to write in

Freeeedommmmmmm, finnnaaallllyyyyyy!

Howdy, y’all! OK, so maybe that headline is a bit dramatic — or unreadable (translation: Freedom, finally). But for the first time in a year, I feel free. The self-isolation that started March 17, 2020, will finally be over starting April 7, 2021, as I have gotten the COVID-19 vaccination. I got the Pfizer one.

Marking one year

Hello! Today marks one year since I started isolating at home due to the coronavirus. I can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night, but I will never forget the week this all started. MARCHOne year ago, on March 16, I had an eye doctor appointment. I remember the news becoming more and more

I can’t believe it

Howdy! Well, I have some great news. Back in January, I signed up on a wait list in Virginia for the COVID-19 vaccine. It didn’t seem like I would ever get one. And it’s been very confusing as to how to get one. But last Saturday, I got a call from the local health department.

Sing it with me: Oh whoa whoa, I got those winter blues …

Hello! It’s still winter. And this has been quite a wintry winter. Last winter, it was really mild, and we didn’t have much snow at all. This year, though, it has snowed a million times, including last night. It’s still snowing today. Granted, we haven’t gotten a lot of accumulation (knock on wood), but the

Hodgepodge of randomness

Hello! A random slew of things have happened since the last time I’ve posted. First off, I did get good news. I went to my rheumatologist yesterday. If you recall, last summer I had some bad liver test results. Well, the last two sets of tests turned out fine. So, I’m staying on the same

2020 hindsight: Part two

Hello! I was going to make this hindsight summary just one post, but man, I really don’t know how to shut up. So many words! Hahahaha, so here’s part two. (Part one here) July: I set up my blog on June 30, but I really didn’t get into it until July. And I loved it.

2020 hindsight: Part one

Hello! I hope everyone had nice holiday. I sure did. I am looking forward to saying goodbye to 2020. I know that a new year won’t make everything magically OK, but it sure will be nice to kick 2020 to the curb. Personally, I have had a lot of ups and downs, so here it

Busy, busy, busy

Sorry it’s been a long while since I’ve posted, but I’ve been really busy. I had some overtime at work, so I was pretty tired last week and didn’t have the energy to even turn on the computer. I’m not complaining about the OT or the job, btw. Still love the job. I was also

Catching up

Hey, folks! It’s been a bit of a while since I’ve posted, but I’ve been super busy with the new job. I’ve also been getting used to the hours and my different days off. I am absolutely loving the job, though. I have been mostly training for two weeks, but I’ve been designing papers in
