  • IWSG December 2023

    The last IWSG of 2023. Where did the year go? A lot of things got done this year, but there’s still a lot more to do (way more to do than was completed). Some things just didn’t go according to plan… *coughcoughyoutube bingeing still a problemcoughcough* So I guess we’ll just have to start again,…

  • IWSG July 2023

  • The Slow Descent Into Anxiety-Riddled Madness

    Note: This is kinda long and not very positive. There was a Momma Blue Jay with her juveniles in my backyard the other day. I’m guessing their nest was in one of the yews nearby. Three juvies, only half blue; they could kinda fly, but not really yet (we discovered that when the dog started…
