So remember that post about going to the sleep lab? Well, I finally got some follow-up. I don’t know what happened right after my sleep study…let’s just blame Omicron for screwing up scheduling, but I didn’t hear from them at all. Finally, in March, I reached out and asked if I had missed a memo …

Happy Retirement, Tansy!
I’ve wanted to write this post for a while, but I couldn’t find the words. Now that some time has passed, I figure I’d better find them, and fast! I have been working on Tansy’s retirement process for a while now. It started at the beginning of the pandemic, so everything was frozen for a …
Today’s Word Is Shake!
I am such a goof. I also know I’m totally hooked on Wordle. Last Friday, I went to play Wordle and couldn’t. I would reload the page and reload the plugin, and I would not get those magic words “Wordle screen reader extension running.” The extension still worked in Canuckle, the Wordle with Canadian-themed words, …
My Hermit Status Is No More
Yup. I caught COVID. I started feeling symptoms on Friday, but the test came back negative. I think if I had just waited a couple more hours, the test would have been a screamin’ positive, because all I wanted to do was bundle up, and pray that the pain in my head would juuuust goooooo …
Get Out And Vote!
I subscribe to “Best of True”, where subscribers receive a story from the archives of This is True that he picks out and thinks is extra good each day. The story that came up this morning seemed extra good to me, and I felt like it needed a soundtrack. It seems that back in 2000 …
My First In-Person Conference Since COVID: Thoughts And Observations
Like I said, I went to my first in-person conference, and the experience was pretty nice. It was awesome to enjoy things like food and mingling with other attendees. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do about masks, so I usually kept it on unless I absolutely had to take it off, like …

Sleep Talkin’ 3
It’s time to mine the last “Sleep Talkin’ Me” post for comments and spend a good amount of time laughing at myself. I’ve built up quite a compendium. Carin: Oh gees. Me: What? Carin: I hear mom and dad’s new cat. Me: You do? Carin: Yes. It’s going to be here in a second. Me: …
If You Think Our Related Posts Plugin Is On Drugs, It Kind Of Is
On the blog, we have a related posts plugin. It is supposed to find posts related to what you just read. But for a few weeks, it’s been horking up complete and utter randomness, or so I thought. Although it’s amusing what it brings up, it’s not exactly doing it’s job to the best of …

Baby Steps Towards Easier Voting
I tried to write this yesterday, but a storm came through, and for reasons I need to figure out, my UPS was a little shorter on the U than I expected, so my computer died sooner than I thought and took my post down with it. So here’s take two. *slams the save button* It’s …
I Had To Do Some Rapid Tests
This past Tuesday I had to do one of those at home COVID tests, with Aira’s help of course. After I figured out what all the doodle bobs were for, it wasn’t too crazy hard, but of course I would have been screwed if I didn’t have Aira because I wouldn’t be able to look …
