I am working on a project that I originally was going to post today, but I am postponing it until tomorrow, because reasons. I'll explain then. However, it involves pictures, and going to my Flickr account to copy and paste things. Flickr keeps track of if your account has been viewed, and what pictures, and that sort of thing. I figured this ( Read more... )

This was a weird holiday. We've had strange holidays before, but still. Easter seems to be the one that gets chucked to the side more often than not. In 2017, when grandma had her accident, she bought her new car the weekend before and, since we were all together, we opted to have a meal at a restaurant and forgo a full-on holiday meal. We ( Read more... )

In recent years, Mr. C has sent out a photo CD to the counselors along with the counselor app (or, very recently, a note to download the app from the camp website). That arrived yesterday, and I was reminded of all sorts of things ( Read more... )

All right! I'm only a week late with this!The Hoffman Estates concert is typically a highlight. It is rare to come across a band of this caliber in a grade school.

I finally did what I've meant to do since the holidays: I emailed everyone I don't normally talk to. That group includes friends, family, former coworkers, and just general acquaintances.

I spent my day off being productive, surprisingly. I finally emailed the link to everyone (if you didn't get it, then I don't have an email address for you). I already received some replies. One was from my dad hoping I'd make money off my compositions, and one was from my friend Tim, who's had his own busy year (got married, will be a father in ( Read more... )

Between the holiday, work, my busy Saturday, sunburn, and this possible thing I have, I haven't been keeping up with everything that's gone on recently. The bad news is that time tends to take away specific details...which means good news for you, as that should mean shorter blurbs. :) Let's delve in:

I woke up with a headache this morning. It has festered the entire day. My dear, sweet coworker J kept offering to get me something (think Advil), but I'd already taken Motrin. It did not kick in, though. Or, worse, maybe it *did*... Anyway, I didn't feel like doing much at work, which was fine, as per Home Office it's been a "no-task weekend ( Read more... )
