Today’s task is to return all junk mail to the sender. I am supposed to change my name to B. Smith from the Resources and Personnel Department instead of the return address. This was a very welcoming task. So, I started… First, I actually checked my mail, and lo and behold my box was full of junk. Exciting! This demanded…

The Summer started today at 78F after yesterday’s 63F. This tells me that this Summer as the last Summer would be super hot. This Saturday they expect 91F and Sunday 95F… I dread the day. However, my home is still cool as it is in the shade of trees so I might not even have to turn the air conditioning…

My computer is covered in wine stains and dog hair. I don’t know how it is still alive. Someone on Facebook said that what matters is how the computer feels inside. I don’t know how it feels inside. It does not talk to me. And if it would it would probably say that it is resentful. Just came back from…

Just started my mini-vacation. Just a week which is for the summer means mini. I still have 3.5 weeks to burn after that but because I am working around my co-workers’ schedule (no surprise there and I never receive a thank you for that) and the hiring committee I am on it would be difficult to take any time off…

This is especially good news because my bestie’s parents are coming from Kazakhstan. They are our Universal parents. Certainly mine. I don’t have parents anymore. My mom passed a…

Rainy-rainy Portland. Not much to do about wetness. We have been scheduling social events with my friends around the rain schedule. Works. Except it gets cold after 5 pm so we are all like cabbages with many many layers of clothing to keep us warm. Worth it though as I am starved for an adult human interaction after spending all…

There are only 3 days of 2020 left. Good riddance I say. However, despite being a horrific year for everyone I actually personally did not experience much hardship except for the fear of getting COVID. I am immunocompromised so that would be a piece of very bad news indeed. In many respects, COVID was made for me. I am a…

Winter is: rain and raincoat scarves and hats sweaters walking in a fog freshly baked bread hot borsch hot cocoa hot tea red wine and port cozy blankets hiking with no one on the trails iced ponds slowed time books for pleasure occasional snow naked trees muddy shoes hidden mice walking in the dark

It’s November — my least favorite part of Fall. The trees have lost almost all leaves and whatever is left on their branches turned into brownish dirty orange. I always get depressed in November and April as they are dirty transitions into a new season. November is full of dull colors and April of mud. I don’t have the motivation…
