Embracing Mistakes

March 30, 2018March 30, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

I forgot to post yesterday and I'm beating myself up about it, but I'm going to double up today and schedule something for the weekend to make up for it. So why did I forget? Yesterday I decided to barf out a bunch of sentences with no real thought of where to begin or where … Continue reading Embracing Mistakes

Bird Doula

March 28, 2018March 28, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

There's a peregrine nest on the top floor of a building in my city. The Audubon society set it up with a perch and some pea gravel and three live cameras. I check in on it every once in a while when I remember, and when ever we drive by the building I crane my … Continue reading Bird Doula

Aloof

March 27, 2018March 27, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

I have a bag of cat treats on the table in our kitchen. We don't have a cat. It's for the best, I'm pretty allergic to cats, but that doesn't stop me from wishing we had one. There are quite a few cats in the neighborhood who use our yard as a passageway to other … Continue reading Aloof

Technically Spring

March 26, 2018March 27, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

There's a date on the calendar that says it's spring and on that day I always think: Well, this doesn't really feel like spring at all. A few days pass and I notice green shoots where the tulips usually pop up and the squirrels are digging indiscriminately in the backyard, looking for specific nuts and … Continue reading Technically Spring

The Ghost of Alan Turing

March 23, 2018March 23, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

Years ago, my lovely and crafty electrical engineer husband made a neat-o wooden kitchen timer. One evening, as I sat alone in the house, the timer turned on by itself and began to say "hi". I convinced myself it was the ghost of Alan Turing, paying me a visit on the anniversary of his birth. … Continue reading The Ghost of Alan Turing

Two Dogs and a Cat

March 22, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

I like to wave at dogs. And cats, though I usually don't wave to the cats because they seem like they really don't care. To be fair, the dogs aren't that in to the waving either, but they bark and jump a lot more and that's the kind of feedback I guess I'm looking for. … Continue reading Two Dogs and a Cat

Twelve Years

March 21, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

Last night as I was trying to drift off to sleep, I realized I have known my husband for 12 years. I even went back to the email archives to pinpoint when we met and it was sometime in April of 2006. (And then I started re-reading emails from 12 years ago and my goodness, … Continue reading Twelve Years

Adapt or Perish

March 20, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

A few months into winter, when my feet only see the light of day while in the safety and comfort of a warm shower, I begin to wonder if I will ever be able to walk barefoot through the house without feeling miserably cold. Will it ever be nice enough to open the windows and … Continue reading Adapt or Perish

Ice is Nice (And So Are Birds)

March 19, 2018March 19, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

It's cold again. Which I don't, in theory, mind; I am definitely a cold weather person. The problem for me arises when the temperature doesn't stay cold enough. If it gets up into the 50s and 60s mid-winter, then I feel like I have to adapt to the cold all over again. I need it to … Continue reading Ice is Nice (And So Are Birds)

Change Everything, All At Once

March 16, 2018 ~ Logan ~ Leave a comment

I had breakfast with a friend yesterday, who I haven't seen in a few months and it was great to catch up. I mentioned I was doing something unadvisable. In an effort to make some necessary changes in my life, I have decided to change everything, all at once. I think generally the advice is … Continue reading Change Everything, All At Once
