An End, A Beginning

JessLeave a comment

At the end of last winter I bought myself cross country skiing gear. I had a hysterectomy between Yule and New Years in 2024/2025, so there wasn't any point in getting geared up during the season, but I wanted to be ready for this winter. This winter has been a little wild with house renovations… Continue reading An End, A Beginning

A Time for Rest

It's dark in Minnesota most of the time* these days. The sun comes up after 7:30am and sets by 4:30pm as we roll toward the winter solstice this weekend. Today is weirdly warm: everything is melting and rainy out, which seems odd and ominous. Not because of global warming, necessarily, although that's an overriding issue,… Continue reading A Time for Rest

This isn't porn, if that's what you searched for to get this blog post. Five years ago I finished radiation, which marked me as clear of breast cancer active treatment. It would've been an exciting day had I not been exhausted: I probably napped. You can read about it in the Thus Ends Frankenboob blog… Continue reading Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

The Yeeting of 2024 and Round 2

Jess1 Comment

In the scheme of all my life, the last couple of months will be little more than a blip of unpleasant time in an otherwise pretty decent year. I had to wait until I was off the heavy pain meds to write this update: apologies for the delay. So, for those who need a recap:… Continue reading The Yeeting of 2024 and Round 2

Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.

Jess2 Comments

A week ago, SK and I took the horde to Disney World as a way to honor his mom and make memories. It was amazing and exhausting. First time flights were had, boundaries were stretched, new foods tried, rides were ridden, shops were shopped, and ultimately feet were tired out. I averaged twelve thousand steps… Continue reading Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.

I spent last week commuting to the office every day because the work-folk from Europe were in town. It was a very fun, very productive, very long week. My commute is nearly an hour one way when there's no traffic, so on average it was 2.5-3 hours in the car every day. Also, let's be… Continue reading Choose Your fAngus

SEPTEMBER!! The mad dash in sweltering heat of summer is over, finally. I know lots of peeps love summer, and I do love the lush overgrown-ness of all the green and the buzzing insects and dark woods, but I wilt in the heat. Give me crispy leaves and frost, please. The horde is taking this… Continue reading IT’S FINALLY HERE! I mean…OH HEY kids go back to school.

This is not a real post because school hasn't ended and things have been just this side of insanely busy for the last howevermany weeks (good Goddess how is it JUNE already? I still have a zillion unintended snapdragons to plant!) and I have three reviews to write. Yes, the run on sentence reflects what's… Continue reading Every Title I’ve Tried for this is Filthy.

Happy Valentine's Day to me, from SK. Contrary to rumors started by my new reading glasses stand, I am still here. I started the new job this week on Wednesday, which turned out to be a massively positive move. I was stressed about the change (because even good change is stressful and requires rejiggering of… Continue reading Not a Master Task Juggler

My writing and resting sabbatical is about to move into the final quarter, and it's been quite the ride so far. I've written a few short stories (most are in the process of submission, which really just means throwing them at various markets until the magic moment when the topic fits what the editors are… Continue reading Bits and Bobs
