Frozen

Today, we cleaned. Everything. Six straight hours of cleaning. It also snowed briefly for multiple times, all of which stuck to the sidewalks, plants, lawns, roads, etc. because it’s been so bloody cold lately, the chances of it melting are obscenely small.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas…

Woke up, got dressed, ran around to the JCC’s Chanukah Pajama Jam festival to help set up a booth. The highlight?

Work was strange; inconsistently busy and alternately quiet, everyone was pretty much on edge. It was just unfortunate. Meanwhile, it was raining like none other – lakes [...]

Equilibrium

Today is the Autumnal Equinox – precisely twelve hours* separates sunrise and sunset, officially marking the end of summer. I’m not really sure what to say about that. Got up early, had a doctor’s appointment, came home and taped off my French doors to paint, rearranged my furniture, went to the obligatory work meeting, came [...]

REUNITED

> After a summer-long hiatus, the bestie is BACK – in black (well, ginger, really) I love this girl and it doesn’t matter that summer is almost over and my Knight is halfway around the world because she is BACK. On a related note, the other bestie leaves in like three days and I’m beside [...]
