Books I read in 2021
I have been meaning to write up the books I read this year...but I'm horrifically lazy about describing books, so I've been putting it off. So, now I'm taking the opportunity for a year-end book list, with minimal commentary.
Shadow and Bone, Leigh Bardugo
Siege and Storm, Leigh Bardugo
These are the first two books of the Grishaverse. I found this ( Read more... ) -
Chicken Quesadillas
OK, so. I love quesadillas! I've been eating a lot of frozen burritos and chimichangas on my new watching-the-carbs-for-diabetes-control eating plan because convenience! Also, one frozen breakfast burrito or chicken chimichanga clocks in at just about my carbohydrate target range for a meal (30-40 g). But I need to watch my sodium, too, so I want ( Read more... ) -
How is it October?
Hello. Here's an update on my life; you're welcome.
I concluded my work-from-home stint in late July when the city called us all back to our workplaces and created a new (provisional) alternative work arrangements policy.

Even one big life thing makes a post
Hello, internet friends. I know, I know: I don't write, I don't call...I only show up to talk about me at points of crisis or excitement. I swear I think anout you all the time. I'm pretty good about reading my LJ and DW flists. Less so tumblr, although sometimes I trip and fall onto somebody's tumblr and then log in to add them there and take five ( Read more... ) -
I have a new bathroom!!! \o/
Everything short of the bathtub is newer and nicer. A taller toilet with two flush settings, new sink and vanity, new medicine cabinet, new wood laminate floor. The clean lines and modern design make a very small room feel much more spacious, and I look forward to fitting it out with some new bathroom storage pieces and other accessories ( Read more... ) -
I just want my life back...
Oh, joy! I came down with a stomach bug on Thursday night/Friday morning, so I grabbed a very comfy stay at an AirBNB with a private bedroom and bathroom. It was less than 5 miles from where I live, so my commute to work was much the same as usual during that time. A handyman is scheduled to come over on Tuesday morning to fix up the bathroom, ( Read more... )
