This was a tough year. Starting with recovering from Wrist Surgery, plenty of physical therapy, and end ending with the death of my beloved Tessa. My Instagram top 9 is filled with photos from her last few weeks, and many comments from friends and family morning her passing. Thank you.   Beyond that, my Instagram was filled with photos from my NYC trip, but it seems beyond a work trip to Seattle, my more interacted posts were from local activities: the Colorado Renaissance Fair, a Spa day at the St. Julien, and catching Beetlejuice in Denver (a few days after

Fall is almost upon us (although its 90 degrees in Colorado this week), and I'm reminicing on last year's October trip to Salem. I spent 2 days in early October in Salem, and everything I had heard about how busy and touristy Salem would be was true. But I went in knowing that there would be long lines and kitchy witchy stuff, so didn't mind. Day 2 The next day I checked out very early.

But I went in knowing that there would be long lines and kitchy witchy stuff, so didn't mind.

Pandemic Year 1: December 2020

My parents sent me a delicious box of oranges and so mostly sat around eating those and listening to audio books (Spellbreaker by Charlie N. Holmberg, and the Bobverse books by Dennise E. Taylor) or working on my Paint by Number or holiday craft kits.
