  • Is It Monday Yet?

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy Three] As terribly excited as I am to start strength training and such on Monday at 0500 I am also absolutely NOT wanting to start strength training on Monday at 0500.

  • The Ten Day Work Trip

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy] I finally packed. The day of the flight. And I made the flight. And flying domestically within the United States is every bit as scary as I thought it’d be – no vaccine verification, no COVID test verification, just wear a mask, pack into the overbooked plane and hope you…

  • Have You Packed Yet?

    It’s fascinating to me how when I’m procrastinating doing one thing, I will do SO MANY OTHER THINGS. That I have been procrastinating.

  • Because You Mentioned It Enough…

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Fifty Nine] I’m listening, I’m just sometimes s l o w. I’ve switched the subtitle to remove ‘Dutch Lockdown’ because not only am I not living in the Netherlands anymore, but … there’s no lockdown either. The depressing part is that COVID is now a permanent part of our lives so…

  • I Exist!

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Fifty Four] It’s not a song or anything, I’m just saying I’m not a bot. I’m here. Just still… settling in and figuring things out. Like daily routines for example… I rip myself out of bed at seven twenty in order to get kids dressed but I forgot to…

  • Caught Up On August!

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Twenty Nine] It’s been an incredibly intense week with a really rough cold or a light flu – so harsh, I went and got a COVID test [totally negative] that took literally two hours standing in line even though I had an appointment to get it. *headdesk* The buggy…

  • What Is This Magic?!?

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Five Hundred Eighteen] Apparently complaining about JetPack and / or WordPress means that things will magically be fix in the night? Maybe? But, yegads, I’ve got days and days and days of posts to catch up on, eh? #PleaseHold
