"Darn, my hand slipped and I ordered three more books." -An Autobiography 📚💙

Now would be a very good time to watch this film. For the sake of history. For the sake of now. #NurembergFilm www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvAy...

For #showmeyourknits this week, show me your greens week, I’m posting the Eat Your Greens socks by Knit One, Purr Two. #knitting

I slept for 12 hours straight last night and I feel vaguely human again. #sleep

Okay, how did I go all day with this sock situation and not notice? #socks #converse #stressed

Venting: I am drowning in meetings. Tomorrow, I have meetings from 08:30 until 17:00. I had a half hour break midday. Someone just scheduled another meeting for that free half hour. #meetings

Very frightening for healthcare

I'm reading a romance w/ two male main characters. It's told in first person w/ alternating chapters in each character's voice. I'm having the hardest time keeping each straight (so to speak). #reading #books

I really wish that we’d just go to the metric system already. Just had a moment of disconnect when I saw the temperature on my work computer pop up as 40 degrees and my initial reaction was, “holy shit, it’s hot out there”. #celsius #farenheit #temperature

Spoilers for The Long Game. Things that I hope they include in S.2 of #HeatedRivalry -Anya -Hayden's twins officiating Shane & Ilya's wedding -Troy and Harris -Shane choosing Ilya in the commissioner's office -Ilya in his gladiator's costume -The trophy room scene

The time change caught up to me and I didn’t make it to work until 7:30. I don’t have set hours but I feel off getting here so late. Plus side-it was light out during my drive and I saw that the willow trees are turning green. #timechange #spring

Some spring flowers and buds from this afternoon. Daffodils, crocus, redbud, and tulips peeking up. Yes, the beds are in bad shape 😞

Rewatched Billy Elliot this morning. Just love this movie - hard to believe it's been more than 25 yrs. #movies www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeXq...

I love my husband and love spending time with him. I wish that he didn’t insist on standing in front of the sink when I’m trying to cook, though.

Work is ramping up and getting more stressful as we get closer to the June live date for the new hospital computer system. Busy, busy day - running from one thing to another, meetings for a solid six hrs. Realized at: 15:30 that I hadn't peed since 05:00. RAN to the restroom.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

Now the woman sitting directly behind me is using her outside voice on speakerphone, bringing one more voice into a room already filled with sound.

I’m in introvert hell. Another week of being in a small room with 30 people all talking at once as we test the new computer system.

Have been watching more #hockey than usual this year now I have a bee in my bonnet about going to a #capitals game. It’s only a couple of hours away.

In spite of the frigid winter, the daffodils are up. #spring

Sudden death in the Women’s Gold Medal Hockey game. Great game! Go US women! #hockey #olympics

Just finished my grey sparkle sweater for Maker Mark’s “Sparkalong” KAL. #knitting

For #showmeyourknits this week, I’m posting my “perfect pink” pink sweater and, because I only break them out once a year, my Valentine’s Day Converse. Thus was my OOTD Friday. #knitting

I appreciate a well-run business/medical office. This derm office is not it. There has been a problem at every appointment. Today-an appointment that they requested to remove the margins of an atypical mole. Took a PTO day to fit it in. Paid copay. Wrong appointment type, wait until April now.

Getting close!!! #baseball

BREAKING: Pam Bondi appears to have just committed a federal crime by lying under oath. Ted lieu just caught her in a lie and called for her resignation live on TV.

What does the Staunton city sheriff do? The city sheriff's car has been snowed in since last week's storm at the end of our street. Hasn't been dug out, still snow/ice on top of the car. Seems as if it's not necessary?

Recovering from a long, busy work week by watching LOTR and the lighting of the beacons just played. I just love this scene. www.youtube.com/results?sear...

An infant in New Mexico has just died from listeria. Public health officials think it is because the mother drank raw milk during pregnancy. I can imagine this family’s pain. Please, please don’t drink raw milk. It is of no benefit whatsoever.

We are now facing the largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States over a quarter-century ago. The science is clear: vaccines are the best way to protect against measles. The NIH Director admits it. Why won’t RFK, Jr.?

Pileated Woodpecker February 2, 2026. It usually shows up here in February or March.

I paid $200 to get the cars dug out from the snow. Today, the city came through again and filled the spot for my car. There is literally no place for me to park on our street. So far, no luck finding someone to dig us out again.

On my way home from work, I saw a number of people trying to dig out from inches of ice. One was using an axe, one a pick. A truck with a plow was skating over the top of the ice. Not an easy storm to recover from. #snow #fern

We get you. We really do.

It’s just too cold. I’m not used to this anymore. #weather

Found someone to dig our cars out but he got stuck getting up the hill. I’m not sorry. If the hills are that bad, I don’t want to go out. #fern #snow

Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!

Seems appropriate today when the world has gone bat-shit crazy. 🧶 #knit #knitsky

Too dark to see what it looks like beyond the front porch light. #snow #fern

Well, the snow has started. The deck is covered - hope it blows out to the Atlantic quickly! #snow #fern

#knitting progress on my sparkle v-neck for the #sparkalong KAL. About 10” to go on the body.

Can confirm the increased numbers of winter viruses. I hope you stay negative and your hubs recovers quickly.

Started work at 0630 this morning. I logged onto my first teams meeting at 0900. Went from teams meeting to teams meeting without break until 1659. My brain hurts. #work #teams

I realized today that I kiss the dogs more often than I kiss my husband. To be fair, hubs doesn’t rest his chin on my knee every time I move to stand up. #dogs

A line from the late, great series Battlestar Galactica.

Patriots win!!!

Holy shit, what a catch! Crap, under review.

I love watching a snowy Patriots game! #football #patriots

If you’re like me and have a republican congressman today is the day you tell him how you feel. I am sure mine is tired of hearing from me. Here are some perfect words for them.
