LiveJournal just told me that my journal is 19 years old, yet the earliest entry was in 2001... silly thing

I just haven't really posted in a few years.

Still having overuse issues. Still gaming too much. Actually started a YouTube channel for Deep Rock Galactic, and that actually contributed to even more overuse issues. Lol.

Angie, the friend I visited around Christmas time went into hospice two weeks later, and died two weeks ago, peacefully dying after just a day or two's unresponsiveness. Her memorial service was yesterday. It was crowded, and filled with people who hadn't been to our church for a while, and it was so good to see everyone gathered in her name ( Read more... )

I haven't been, actually, though I've been trying. Just wasn't trying very hard when I had Ready Player One on my Kindle last night, and I was down to the last few chapters and had to Finish it, so I was up until 2 am reading. It was good, not great. Simple YA with straightforward villains. Little depth, but it didn't need it, and it'll probably ( Read more... )

It's only been a week.

( Eye improvements, knitting, a new keyboard, changing out the burrs of the butt grinder, building up my own weight set for the weight training program, and my first worn out pair of jeans! )

My hands have been a real mess this past week. It's been a combination of things, but I've really broken out the dictation software and found that I can make it do what I really wanted to do ( Read more... )

Jet's back in school on Wednesday, so things have gotten a bit crowded lately ( Read more... )

Had a pretty jam-packed science setup today, with an experiment where the kids got to figure out the setup and they got to figure out what prediction really means with some data to start with. It was really fun to introduce the concepts of why standard approaches are necessary and what kinds of things make them good.

It's been a very wet summer. Lots of rainstorms, thunderstorms, and a long wet spring that led into a very wet summer. It's actually been humid here! After commenting about condensation on drink glasses in Vermont, it was funny to get home and actually have condensation on our glasses here, which we never get ( Read more... )
