I burned my hand this weekend. Just a moment of distraction while I was pulling dinner out of the oven and brushed the back of my right hand against the edge of the inside of the oven (not the heating elements, just the edge near the door). Photo taken Mon morning I yelped and rushed… Continue reading Burned Hand
SCOTUS Update
UGH. So the Supreme Court put out decisions a while back and I am too exhausted to read them. Reading SCOTUS opinions takes a lot of brain power and I have been trying for weeks to read the ones I care about. And I just can't. It isn't something I can stop and start and… Continue reading SCOTUS Update
Review: Tea Recommendations
I don't drink coffee. My caffeine of choice is tea. A friend recently posted on Facebook about "not being a coffee snob" and I commented that I totally will claim my tea-snobbery. I am a tea snob. THEN another friend private messaged me and said they are trying to cut back on sodas, what tea… Continue reading Review: Tea Recommendations
No update. have a cat.
Genkii keeps me company while I work from home. Sorry I'm not posting more. Right now I am prioritizing my family's physical and mental health. My mental health is DEFINITELY part of the hurdle to blogging. Some days it's all I can do to keep up with the toddler and eat.
Politics: Prescriptions
Further fallout of my Mad March of 2020 is my medication regime has taken a significant uptick. I've been on birth control again for a minute for exactly what the name implies. Until this month that's been basically my only medication since I gave birth. Then my body and brain decided they hate me. So… Continue reading Politics: Prescriptions

Well I just gave away the gist of my review - I like my Rocketbook. I happen to like it a lot. I use it a… Continue reading Review: Rocketbook
Life Events: ER and COVID-19
Let me start with this: I am OK. Saturday morning I was ok. Got up, played with Remy. Did a bit of picking up to vacuum the living room. At 11 I took Remy upstairs to cuddle with daddy while I made a cup of tea and used my inhaler. I felt my asthma flaring… Continue reading Life Events: ER and COVID-19
Current Events: Coronovirus
I wasn't going to add to the noise around this, but then the other day someone posted "ok everyone, this isn't the bubonic plague." The historian came out. So many ways I wanted to respond: Yes, please don't kill cats. Rats are the ones most likely causing the spread of the plague.True. The bubonic plague… Continue reading Current Events: Coronovirus
Writing: Auditory reading
Over Christmas time I re-listened to Going Postal and Making Money (Terry Pratchett). One of the reasons I love the audiobooks for Pratchett is his play on words. Pratchett doesn't just use the English language. Pratchett abuses it in the best of ways, and his reader does a brilliant job capturing that. I also recently re-read… Continue reading Writing: Auditory reading
Review: Qualityland
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51pVDZTQzwL.SX329_BO1,204,203,200.jpg https://www.amazon.com/Qualityland-Marc-Uwe-Kling/dp/1538732963 Qualityland was originally published in German, but the English edition came out in January 2020. And I picked it up as an audiobook for my commute. My initial impression is dammmn. It is definitely a book addressing issues of the day. Some of the references are already dated or will be within just a… Continue reading Review: Qualityland
