I didn’t write yesterday (probably could have in the morning), but by the end of the night, I was toast! So tired! Mom and I went to Disneyland(!) to celebrate my 48th birthday(!). We had a great day! I secured my annual pass holder card (new design!), and we were off to the traditional first…

11/17 recap
I missed posting yesterday because my day was full! I drove down to north San Diego (Poway) where I: had a big cinnamon roll and coffee went for a quick mile & a half walk on a path near a building where I used to work performed at a fun Lady Brain event had drinks…
Fall Back Eve
Hooray, two days in a row! We “fall back” time-wise tomorrow. No one really likes it to be dark at 5 pm, but that’s what’s going to happen! So yesterday, I updated you on my October and said that Mom & I were going to see Steve Poltz. We did, and it was fun! I…
November is here!
Wherein I attempt NaBloPoMo (national blog posting month) – posting every day in November. October went by without a check-in (sorry), but I’ll wrap up the month now. I’ll start with some stats: I worked at the bookstore 10 days (usually 4 or 4 1/2 hours each time). It’s not a lot, but honestly, I…
September check-in
Hi friends! It’s been over a month since I’ve posted so I thought I’d get you caught up on my happenings. I guess the main thing was that I started working at the Cypress College bookstore. I started on August 7 with three other people. They are all students at the college. We were trained…
August is upon us
Since the last time I wrote, I guess the thing that has changed or the thing that has become a thing is that I get up and go for a walk. My sister turned me on to an app called All Trails, and I have made good use of it. I think I mentioned last…
life so far + Escondido, Lady Brain Fest & Ugly Mug
Hi friends! I’ve almost been home now for as long as I was on the road. I’m in my 3rd week in my new (old) home in La Mirada CA. The first week was basically relaxing and recovering from my trip. It felt good and familiar to think of my mom’s house as the place…
Day 24 – Las Vegas to SoCal (aka home)
Sandy & I woke up around 7:30 am and putzed around a bit before getting ourselves sort of together, then we headed down to Starbucks around 9:30 am for some breakfast. I don’t think I mentioned this before but the Rio is currently hosting the World Series of Poker so the place is full of…
Day 23 – Las Vegas / Open Reading 3 – Winchester Cultural Arts Center
(writing this entry the morning of Sunday, June 23) I was up by 8 am and let Sandy sleep in. I read and logged my trip receipts (finally). We had already decided we wanted nothing to do with The Strip and weren’t interested in leaving the hotel except for the reading. So around 10:45 am…
Day 22 – Salt Lake to Las Vegas / Open Reading 2 – The Poet’s Corner at West Las Vegas Arts Center
(I wrote this entry last night (6/21) but due to Wi-Fi issues couldn’t post until today (6/22)) We couldn’t check in to our hotel in Las Vegas until 4 pm, so Sandy and I decided to leave her place between 10 and 11 am. This decision was good since we had been up late the…
