It’s finally starting to feel like winter here in the Chicago area; we’re getting those inevitably bitter cold winds and I have a great view outside my window of the prettiest snow falling over the Berwyn bungalows. Cats are curled up and sleeping on the backs of chairs (or, if you’re Genghis, inside someone’s jacket…

Only a few days remain in the year 2014, and I’m still a little shocked that it’s nearly over. This year seemed to fly by, a year of big changes and big accomplishments, a nice little set-up for a (hopefully!) equally big year to follow. I’ve realized the value of dropping needless stress from my…

I know it’s a day late, but I hope everyone had a truly Happy Christmas! Mine was pretty darn good; I didn’t get a chance to get home to spend it with my family, but I spent it with my boyfriend’s family, which is practically my family now, too. As much as I love the…

I have participated in NaNoWriMo every year since I think 2005, for back when I was in college. I think? I’m pretty sure I started in college, but it’s hard to believe that it’s been around that long…and that I have consistently failed it for nearly a decade now. This year (as with every year,…

It’s been another strange week, folk. There was all sorts of shenanigans for Halloween, of course, but, prior to that, despite all the stuff I wanted to get done, my time was crippled as I went into battle with a little bit of malware that wound up on my computer due to my desperate attempts…
