Halfway There!

I can't believe today is the first day of July. I can remember staring the year off with The Thirty Names of Night and then in June, I finished my seventy-second book. So what have I done in the past few months, besides play hooky from my blog? I started back at the office full-time …

Things They Don’t Tell You About Changing Your Name

I finally got my name legally changed this past week (I sent in my paperwork to the Social Security office on May 3rd and got my new SS card back on June 14th), and ever since then I just keep coming across new things that I have to change my name on. Changing your name …

Quarantine: Week Thirty-One

It's Week Thirty-One of working from home, and we got the news last week that we may be starting our return-to-office phases on November 1. You know, right as cases are beginning to skyrocket to their highest numbers since July. No big deal, right? People are just getting pandemic fatigue. Who cares if there's still …

Moody Monday

Today marks one week of working at home. One week of not going out anywhere (except a few nights to go out and pick up food from a local establishment). One week of my cat being incredibly confused as to why I'm still home. One week of me anxiously worrying about what is going to …

Wedding Wednesday: Uncertainty

Good morning everyone! The sun is finally shining in my city (it's been raining non-stop for the past few days, which makes my isolation at home even more lonely) and I've been working from home for the past few days. My city issued a Shelter-in-Place order last night, which really needs to be issued state-wide, …

To the Love of My Life…

So even though I wrote that whole post last week about how I'm going to start posting more often (trying to stick with my original "set" of posts that I was doing weekly), and then I went on vacation and that just kinda ruined everything. However, it was the most amazing vacation. We went back …

I Feel the Need to Apologize…

...even though I read a great blog post a couple months ago telling bloggers that they shouldn't feel ashamed/guilty that "real life" has gotten in the way of their blogging. (I can't remember where I read it now.) Because yes, while I absolutely love blogging (it's been almost two years now!), I still have a …

Kami-Con!

This post is several weeks late. I'm still not exactly sure what happened to my time last week (or this weekend), but it seems like I'm running out of time everywhere in my life. (Also, can we switch to a four-day work week? A two-day weekend is not enough time to recover.) Long story short, though, …

Meet Kiki!

Well, Internet, I went and did something on Friday that I have been wanting to do ever since I moved out on my own: I adopted my very own kitty! As backstory, this cat has been living on a friend's porch for several months. I saw her at our X-Wing Christmas party (Steven had to …

I’m Not Dead! (+ UPDATESSSS)

All right. I know I've been MIA for a few weeks now. (Except for that scheduled post from Wednesday, which honestly surprised me when I got a notification from WordPress that my scheduled post had been published. I'd forgotten all about it.) However, I'm back, and I've got a few exciting announcements! FIRST AND FOREMOST, I …
