Snow Blows

Written February 20, 2021, when I tried to start a WordPress blog, but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated.

I live in San Antonio, Texas because of circumstances, not the weather. Still… I’m going to need this winter to get back to the normal 60s and 70s. 

The snow this past week was really pretty… the first night, when it was 10 degrees… not so nice the next night, when it was 9 degrees and the power went out. I never lost water, thankfully, but the power never came back on over the next four days. 

On Thursday, when the power came on for all but 4,000 homes, I was one of the 4,000. Never even got a text message saying something like "you’re not part of the rolling blackouts… something is actually broken in your neighborhood… maybe you should plan accordingly". Annoying… cold. 

We got relief at my sister’s house for a couple of nights. Power is back on, but AT&T is saying the outages damaged my router, so yay, no internet!! Kind of important for two reasons. 1. I’m working from home these days. 2. Can’t a girl get a freaking break!? My brain needs to veg. I want to take a nap and fall asleep watching Grand Designs. I am done cleaning and reading and knitting. Yes, knitting. I want streaming anything on any device bigger than my phone (First World problems)!

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
