New York 2016: Thoughts From a Sleepy Head

If people say about their feet "My dogs are barking", I have to wonder what to call my shins and my ankles and my whole body. Everything barks and it's saying "you will need to book time with Yameen when you get back home." I have scribbles in my journal about my day, including  seeing … Continue reading New York 2016: Thoughts From a Sleepy Head

Midweek Geekiness: Technical Support

*Sigh* I never get tired of that picture: The computer at the learning commons help desk, the technical department I work at twice a week, switched out their towers.

Midweek Geekiness: Richard Armitage and the Testing of my Patience

I had an interesting day yesterday. I took my mom to her follow-up appointment at her doctor's office. My car bit the biscuit, so to speak, in 2009. I occasionally borrow the car, and Monday I took the car home as I will drive my mom to her appointment the next day. I noticed this … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: Richard Armitage and the Testing of my Patience
