If it fits, I… ride!

The clock is ticking down. Tick tock. I have spent the last few days packing stuff, squashing stuff, and figuring out how to make things fit. The long work is over, except for a few things that are still in use, and cannot be packed. Believe it or not, this is eleven days of clothes….

Mayday!

First, sorry about the Patreon lock. I was testing it and the damn thing worked only half way (it did not unlock as scheduled.) There’s a limited amount of stuff I’ll be sticking behind the paywall, and much of it won’t be *that* important. Second, we’re a week out from the longest ride I’ve ever…

The Big Inhale.

I’m completely in the throes of prepping for a big ride.  It has kind of sucked the air out of the room, due to complexity and the enormity of the ride. The official* ride length is 3500 miles all said and done, but it absolutely fails to account for five days in New Mexico which…

Welcome to April. It’s been busy.

Nineteen days since the last post.  I feel like I have been swimming a never-ending relay.  Getting my head above water just long enough to get a gulp of air and pile into the next stroke. What’s been going on?  Well, there’s final exams, which are today (and thankfully half done.  The Dean’s list is…

Three weeks slipped by awful fast.

It’s been a busy-ish three weeks. School is clipping along, hurtling towards final exams. The velocity of stuff has been eating at my energy reserves pretty hard. Even on my short days I feel exhausted after school, which is making it hard to focus on what needs to be done. The classes are going well….

MMMMMMMimosa!

I’ve been trying to write this for three days. It’s like the cursed post of interruptions. (I was just interrupted again to explain homework for the Blueprints class. I guess I’m a font of knowledge or something.). There’s a level of frustration that comes with not getting thoughts out of my head, compounded by the…

Another Week Closer to Spring.

Holy Crap. Monday after DST changeover is the worst for me.  I generally have a hard time getting to sleep on Sunday night after it and getting up early and headed to class makes me feel like I am swimming through concrete. There is not enough caffeine. Last week was Spring Break, though it really…

Some Balance to the Week

I realized when talking with R yesterday that my Monday post overlooked some of the positives of the previous time. I shouldn’t let those moments fall by the wayside when stuff gets rough, and finding the joy is important. I went to a LARP event for Waypoint, a regional LARP that uses multiple worlds as…

The Most Monday Monday.

Today was a Monday amongst Mondays. I don’t even have words to describe it without probably having the Internet police come ask me to stop the stream of swearing. If this Monday were a person, it would be Donald Trump. (He’s a train wreck and IDGAF what you think.) The Morning started with leaving for…
