Yet More Snow

Kitty woke me up around 7 AM, demanding cuddles and skritches. Much purring. A few minutes later, we heard a loud WHOOOSH. Melting snow sliding off the sloped part of the roof of the tiny house. I took this as a good sign. However, it’s still snowing this morning. Nothing like the previous storm, where […]

Science Rant

(NOTE: I tried to write a different blog post. This one has been bubbling up for a while now. I try not to rant on my blog. I believe this is only the second time I’ve ever done it. So you have been warned.)   For the last ten days I’ve been taking an online

Being Stuck…

One of the things that I’ve come to realize over the last couple of days is that I HATE being snowbound. Seriously. I need to feel as though I could leave some place at anytime, even if I don’t want to. I got out this morning and walked around the property for a while. Boy,

Still Recovering

I first got sick on Christmas Day last month. At this point, I’d consider myself well, however, I’m still building back my strength. Yesterday, I went to the library for the afternoon to work. (We don’t have great internet out here on the property so I frequently go into town, to the library or to

When I was work ing on the tiny house, back in 2017, I had to drive a lot. Or at least a lot for me. The trip from the property to the house I had in Seattle was between 40-50 miles one way, depending on the route I would take. (Frequently, the longer route would
