2021-06-12 The Security Camera Saga: A Prequel 🎥
A prequel? Hmmmm… This is new. The briefest definition of “prequel” that I have found is a story or movie containing events that precede those of an existing work. And for sure I began writing this blog post several days ago with the intent to get into the weeds of the analysis I was doing…

2021-06-07 Reactive 🩸
“Reactive” is the result of the COVID antibody test performed by the Red Cross from my latest blood donation. It’s now standard for them to do the test on every donation. The explanation for my reactive result is that I have antibodies consistent with a person who has had the COVID vaccine, but did not…

2021-05-18 Music as Inspiration and Other Rando Crafty Thoughts…
I’ve had my new phone for over a week and finally.. FINALLY.. got my music library loaded.

2021-05-03 Thinking About What’s Got Me Down is Like Having Bronchitis
It may not be the same for everyone, but the struggle is real. It’s a popular saying for a reason. I’m constantly having internal conversations with myself that I can’t seem to quit having. There’s no resolution that I can see or feel and it puts my brain on spin cycle and it’s wearing me…

2021-04-30 When they Ask What Superpower You Want, Don’t Be Too Hasty
I daydream sometimes about what it would be like if I could control time. That’s not exactly right. It’s not a daydream of control. It’s not a daydream at all actually. It’s a longing for time to slow down enough for me to enjoy things at my own pace. My own pace is apparently slow..…

2021-04-01 Hello April! 🌷
Thank goodness that’s over! March… what an asshole!! And thank the Universe that the month didn’t go out like a lion and that our furry friend, Punxsutawney Phil, is wrong more than he is right. It IS Nebraska and there’s still a chance that Mother Nature will show some wrath, but my intuition doubts it.…
