Has gotten crazy/lazy.  You know how I was all flylady back in September?  Well, not so much anymore.  I’m looking at crazy piles on the desk.  There’s a load of laundry that needs to be folded.  Grocery shopping is happening sporadically at best.  No one’s dead yet, so at least that’s good.  Here’s what happens [...]

And it’s only January.  This is not good.  I don’t really like the cold.  Snow is okay for a while, but hanging around for days on end, not so nice.  I can’t muster the energy to leave the house and then I start to go stir crazy.  It’s just not good.  I think it’s going [...]

Regular readers of this blog know that I’ve gradually retreated from the kind of gung-ho online enthusiasm I had previously engaged in.  I still find much of value online, but I find myself either easily overwhelmed in spaces like Twitter or Facebook, and now, Quora, or not stimulated enough by blogs and other longer form [...]

I’m not one to go shopping to make myself feel better.  In fact, I kind of hate shopping, especially now that I no longer have my 20-year-old body.  Actually, I hated shopping then, too.  But I really needed clothes.  Not that there’s anything wrong with wearing the same old thing over and over, but it [...]

Though there is plenty to do around here, I’m taking the day off.  I’m going to eat breakfast out, go shopping, and generally not do anything productive (mostly).  I realized yesterday that I’d mostly worked, in one way or another, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.  Sure there were breaks for lunch and [...]

I know the last couple of posts have been all “omg, I have so much stupid stuff to do I can’t see straight,” but I do actually think about other things outside my domestic sphere.  Here are some of them: The oil spill.  It’s just awful, and I think I’ve decided that the profit motive [...]

My typical approach to a week is to front-load it.  I do more from Monday-Wednesday than I do Thursday or Friday.  I used to lament the fact that I hit Monday with both feet running and that by Thursday, I was worn out.  But then, I thought, who cares.  I get the same amount done, [...]

I have an announcement.  I was going to wait until Monday, but what the heck.  What I’ve been busy with over the last few weeks has been interviewing.  Interviewing, preparing to interview, researching, etc.  I’ve accepted a position at a nearby Independent school for girls (my own FGS, if you will) as the Computer Science [...]

I prefer my days just to cruise along, with appropriate pauses for meals, but otherwise, a smooth ride of gliding from task to task.  But no.  Pretty consistently, especially as the school year winds down, there’s something going on every single day.  There are doctor appointments, concerts, stuff to buy for said concerts, practices, early [...]

Saturday was the end-of-year outdoor festival for Geeky Girl’s school, which I volunteered to help with as did Geeky Girl.  We were each assigned games to tend to, mine being an activity involving sugar.  Kids lined up to fill plastic tubes with multicolored sugar.  One girl, of about three, kept hovering around the table in [...]
