I have a strange life. Not literally, in a lot of ways it's very traditional. I'm cisgendered, white, hetersexually-married with the classic "house in the suburbs" (including a white picket fence actually) with a very corporate "normal" full-time job. And yet, I don't feel like I'm normal. I sometimes feel like at any moment I will… Continue reading Musings: Perception

Life: Health & Breathing
You know what is worse than having an asthma attack? Having an asthma attack for no apparent reason. So much in life is like that - as long as we understand the cause & effect of our actions somehow when "bad things" happen it's more acceptable to the brain. Like, if I go to a… Continue reading Life: Health & Breathing
Live Events: Injury
I sprained my thumb. It sounds so small, it seems so small - until I try to use my hand too much. And I do keep using it too much. So I hurt my thumb, I spend a day basically watching tv/movies & reading ('cause one-handed gaming is hard). I go to work that week. By… Continue reading Live Events: Injury
Life Events: Silence of 2017
I need to apologize for the silence of my blog. I could blame that life got in the way (it kind of did). I could blame my big book-organizing project (it kinda did). I could blame my day job (which is exhausting right now). But really, I just don't know what to write about. I… Continue reading Life Events: Silence of 2017
Manners: Blessings
Today is Easter. A notable Christian holiday. The important Christian holiday. I will hear a lot of "Hallelujah" and "blessings" today - both digitally on Facebook and from live people. I don't talk a lot about my faith. It is highly personal to me. I also have studied history - and I love church history.… Continue reading Manners: Blessings
Life Memories: Paper Anniversary
Last spring I ran away with the man I'm in love with and got married. God that is still a lot of a fun to say. This year, I took the week of our anniversary as vacation. It was very good, especially because I can't remember the last time I took a full week of… Continue reading Life Memories: Paper Anniversary
Musing: Books & Time
I have recently (in the past year or so) been able to really deepen my ties into some good sources for books. I tweaked my Goodreads notifications and now get daily deal emails that regularly tease me with books I want to read. My husband has found some truly treasure-worthy book stores in our area and supports… Continue reading Musing: Books & Time
Memories: Elevator Experience
I had the best experience in an elevator I can remember. It started as I approached my work building from the outside. There was someone a bit behind me (I could see the shadow on the sidewalk) and a man walking towards me. I reached the door first - barely. So I held the door. The man… Continue reading Memories: Elevator Experience

The cases I am "watching" for the Jan 2017 session.
Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Today is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek's premier on TV. I think it is a perfect day for some self-reflection and future-focused thought. Who do I want to be in 50 years? Or 500 (I mean, obviously, who do I want to be remembered as in 500 years since there is no current method confirmed… Continue reading Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
