Millipede(less) Monday and burnout

Well, all things must come to an end and there were no millepede sightings in my house last week, thus no Millipede Monday today. Here is a pretty little green lacewing I spotted on my deck railing, instead. In our house, we nicknamed these 'tinkerbelles' since they look like little fairy creatures. Delicate appearance aside,...

Synchronicity, again

I often have strange episodes of synchronicity in my life. Some of that, I am sure, is just the Aspie trait of pattern recognition causing me to connect details that are not anomalous but simply things that would go unnoticed by most people, so they seem significant even though they really aren't. Other times, though,...

I’m just going to keep rolling with millipede Monday, I guess…

... At least until I run out of millipede encounters.  This little guy was hanging out on a fake potted plant I have in my downstairs bathroom. Fake because our cats are jerks; one of them has since chewed on the 'leaves' of this plant, getting the last word (for now) in the ongoing human...

You know it’s been a wet summer when…

... You find a baby snail on the wall. The kitchen wall. Inside.  It was smaller than a green pea and almost transparent. And pretty adorable.

Still here…

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, but I had a hard week and struggled to get through it. There was a lot of catching up to do at work because I'd been off for week, and my body chose the wrong time to crash on me. It sucked because I pride myself...

Guess what day it is?

I’m pretty sure my Aspie superpower is inadvertently pissing off my partner

So yesterday, when we got up and were getting coffee and feeding the animals, my partner suggested that we could head out to a local park we like to go to, and stop on the way at the new breakfast restaurant we had been meaning to try while we were on vacation.  I was pretty...

I’m not sharing my coffee with you…

I was outside on the porch drinking coffee this morning and spotted this quirky looking little bug on my mug.  I gave it a little nudge with my finger and it sprang a good four feet through the air, startling me as much as I must have started the bug.  The bedroom painting odyssey continues......
