It snowed in Eastern NM.

All this time I've been worried about the Midwest, and in Eastern NM, it snoooows.

That probably shouldn't have made me giggle as much as it did, but it did.

Last night, I went to sleep at a fairly early time for me, which was about 2 in the morning. Given that normally I work and play games through the night and end up in bed closer to 9 am, this was the equivalent of going to bed at, y'know, eight in the evening. But I had a Project meeting this morning, and since there's this trip coming up, I wanted ( Read more... )

I keep staring at this blank box and going, "Uh...what do I put here again ( Read more... )

Because soon, soon, I will fly away on the wings of an Ezio, off to overwinter in a place of actual winter (though it has been cold here! and there was SNOW on Sunday, at least in some parts of the city). There's an anniversary and three holidays jammed into a fairly small space, though, so it just makes sense. Plus my sister is cooking. I'm not ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again, the time where I uproot my household and go to visit family (and in this case, more than just family, but that...I'm going to make sure happens first). And as usual, I'm careening into the day where a family member shows up to escort me with minimal preparations done. Mostly because of being a wee bit under the weather ( Read more... )

Hello from Indiana! My sister is cooking Turkey Day this year, so I managed to finagle my way back to the state for family Fun Timez. This turned out to be fortuitous, as I could use some time out of the state right now, woo. It's just for the week, but any brain reset would be good right now. And playing monkey for a family occasion, I can do that ( Read more... )

I am back from IN, all. I spent almost six weeks there, but as of last week, I finally managed to get my ass back to ABQ. (And then did some grown-up things and chilled out. A lot. I love my family but oh, solitude...) Thanks to Twitter, I realized that I came back basically in time for the semester to start. Which means my summer is pretty much ( Read more... )

Gettin' things done today. Early tomorrow morning (pre-sunrise sort of early) my sister and I take off back for ABQ in The Rental. Two cats, many bags, 2300 miles, GO ( Read more... )
