Last week I wrote about how I tend to be pretty lucky, particularly when it comes to losing things. While I was writing, I remembered a moment from high school when I didn’t think I was so lucky, even though I really was… “Bye! I’ll be back on time!” I called out, as I dashed […]
My husband always says I’m a very lucky person. Not just because I married him (pause for chuckle), but when things go awry for me, they somehow always work out in the end. Of course, that’s not completely true, but it happens often enough that I think he might be right. Now, I’m not talking […]
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how much I missed seeing people in person. (People in person…that has a fun ring to it.) Then a couple of days ago, I was on a Zoom meeting and, well, it turns out I miss seeing people online! To be fair, it’s not the online part […]
I have a little confession. I was starting to like meeting on Zoom and working from home. Or so I thought. Here’s what I liked, sometimes loved: not commuting to and from work (if you’re from Southern California, you know what a big deal this is); not having to pack materials to take to school […]
This is a late post. Like really late. Like it’s about July 4th late. But it’s still July and it’s a free country right? Actually, that’s the question I’m pondering, what does it mean when we say it’s a free country? What is freedom anyway? This year my family and I spent Independence Day in […]
After California lifted so many of the COVID rules on June 15, I’ve sloooooowly started to feel safer and safer going places without a mask. But now with news continuing about the Delta variant, I’ve started wearing my mask regularly again. I had dinner with a doctor friend who told me not to be complacent […]
Ever since I was 16 years old, I’ve had a at least a part-time job. I’ve never not worked. When my peers were taking trips to sunny beaches, I was picking up extra shifts. Although I’ve continued to be employed, the pandemic changed the pace of my work schedule. Suddenly I had time when I […]
Last Saturday I attended my oldest step-son’s commencement ceremony…sort of. Because of social distancing guidelines here in Los Angeles county, students were only given two tickets to commencement. Unfortunately, there were three of us that wanted to attend–my husband, my other step-son, and me. I knew it was important for my younger step-son to be […]
This morning I woke up extra early; I was going to do something I haven’t done since March 2020! I already had my outfit ready to go. I checked the directions the night before so I’d know where I was going. I nervously got ready with lots of questions and wonderings running through my mind: […]
I was inspired by this blog post by Nawal Qarooni Casiano to write some equations today. (If you haven’t already read this post, go there first!) Here are some drafts in no particular order:music + movement = joy mid-afternoon nap + dog at feet = bliss clouds + Saturday = lazy day flowers + nose […]
