I've been having a lot of crazy dreams lately. For example, I dreamed that I had to drive across part of the country to get to Boats and Bluegrass (the music festival we go to each year in Winona) and then when we got there, there wasn't room for the camper (we don't have a … Continue reading August 18: dreams

August 17: whatever
Have I used that title before? I have been wondering with some of these because I think I have habits with words and so I kind of cycle through some of the same ideas. Especially when I don't have much motivation to write. Yesterday, I was motivated and thinking, but today I was just sort … Continue reading August 17: whatever
August 2: Unsolicited phone calls are terrible.
I usually don't answer the phone when I get a number that isn't in my contacts list. I hate talking on the phone and it's usually an unwanted marketing call or another robocall from St Paul Public Schools reminding me to update my kids' records online or telling me that "your child's lunch account is … Continue reading August 2: Unsolicited phone calls are terrible.
August 1: it’s gonna be a LONG night.
I am such a scatterbrained airhead today. I missed my turn for the doctor this morning and sort of got lost (I blame construction). I almost put the cereal away in the fridge. I started getting a sore throat and took a nap, which helped me pull it together for the afternoon/evening, but then I … Continue reading August 1: it’s gonna be a LONG night.
July 29: Justice in Minneapolis
The city of Minneapolis released body cam video from the officer shooting of Thurman Blevins. The videos, linked here, is obviously sensitive and not appropriate for younger eyes, but you should watch it. We should know what police are doing in the name of "public safety," even when it makes us uncomfortable. My first reaction … Continue reading July 29: Justice in Minneapolis
July 28: some fun questions
If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning medal for? Procrastinating and then turning out a good product anyway. Research. What is the most annoying habit that other people have? Chewing loudly. Also, whistling in small public areas, like a bathroom or changing room. … Continue reading July 28: some fun questions
July 21: Explaining extremism a little
I have always been fascinated with extremism, probably because I don't have a long enough attention span to get too extreme, although I'm not really sure. Maybe some of you think I'm extreme. But I've never really understood why anyone would be a member of a hate group or put that much time into actively … Continue reading July 21: Explaining extremism a little
July 18: flashbacks
I was absent-mindedly deleting old podcasts from my phone today, something I don't do very regularly, and I had NPR Politics podcasts from before the 2016 election. Podcasts from when we were so sure we would have our first woman President because who would vote for this asshole? A podcast from his attack on the … Continue reading July 18: flashbacks
July 16: So what happened today?
We had a busy day. I woke up at a normal hour, I did laundry, cooked and froze some corn, picked up our artwork from the fair, made lunch, brought Annika to camp, ran errands, picked Annika up, made dinner, watched movies and followed #primeday Twitter (which was way more fun than Prime Day participation), … Continue reading July 16: So what happened today?
July 8: Sleep cycle is ALL messed up
I have reverted to what is "normal" sleep for me, which apparently means going to bed at 1 am-ish and waking up around 11 am. I need more sleep than most people - I feel best if I've gotten at least ten hours a and I LOVE sleeping in. The problem is, life doesn't work … Continue reading July 8: Sleep cycle is ALL messed up
