On April 16th I got my second COVID vaccine. I did not come down with a fever, chills, or headache. I did not go into anaphylactic shock. But holy cow am I am wiped out. I had not personally read about fatigue as a vaccine side effect before I got my shots, but now I’m reading that yes, it’s pretty… Read more »
Apparently I never actually hit “publish” on last weeks’ post. Good news is that it’s still timely, so it will be coming your way tomorrow, 2/22/21. Thanks!
Many moons ago when I started blogging I really didn’t know what I was getting in to. I didn’t ever think I would be going to conferences to learn how to blog better. I didn’t ever think I would be a member of a bloggers group. I didn’t ever think I would have social media accounts devoted to it. It… Read more »
I get a lot of (mostly) good natured grief over some of my entertainment choices. Specifically as of late, folks find it odd/ unusual/ crazy that I have become a fan of watching YouTube videos of birds. Most notably I am a fan of Mr Max TV- a moluccan cockatoo, and Einstein the Talking Texan Parrot- an African grey parrot,… Read more »
We made it! 2020 is in the rear view mirror and good riddance to bad rubbish. I’ve never been big on New Year’s resolutions. Most of them are doomed to fail because they are either too lofty – i.e. the couch potato resolving to go to the gym every day – or too vague – i.e. resolving to something like… Read more »
“Age is just a number” “You are only as old as you feel” “50 is the new 30” We’ve all heard things like this. We’ve probably said them ourselves, or had someone say them to us. I’ve heard them a lot lately, because by the time you read this I will have turned 49. And I have a lot a… Read more »
Recently I rediscovered how comforting it really is to disconnect from everything electronic and just get lost in a good old fashioned book. I own lots of books, and I continue to buy books. I just wasn’t reading any of them! Sure, e-books are convenient and often less expensive. And yes, they weight a lot less. But they just aren’t… Read more »
While it seems in some ways like 2020 will never end, we are just over a week away from Thanksgiving- traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season. I usually don’t have a ton of gifts purchased by this time, but I’ve picked up a few things. This year I don’t have a single thing bought. Even more worrisome, I… Read more »
So I did a thing last week. After long talks with my boss and my husband, I made the decision that it was time to go back to the office. NOTE- the photo for this blog post is NOT of my actual office. It comes from Unsplash, which is a great site for copyright free images and one I recommend!… Read more »
As I mentioned last week, my husband and I recently took a short trip to Portland. When I told people where we were going almost everyone had the same reaction “Are you sure you want to go there? Isn’t is dangerous?”. A couple folks were worried about travelling in general, but most people were only worried about us going… Read more »
