It's been a long time since I've made a late-night post, a mental "Night Walk". But I woke up just before 1 AM, it's 2 AM (at the start of this), and I can't fall back asleep.

Is It Already February?!?
School I've restarted my Capstone class but decided to not do Code Louisville, this semester. The workload would have been too much. This is my 2nd chance at the Capstone, as I screwed up the deadlines of the last attempt. Wish me luck! Health I am approaching my 12-year anniversary of my heart valve surgery! … Continue reading Is It Already February?!?
Welcome to 2022!
It's a new year! It's now up to me to see how the early weeks of 2022 go. One thing I'm going to do differently, compared to past years: I'm not making Resolutions, "Wish Lists", or anything similar, other than a Reading Challenge for Goodreads (I want to read/listen to more than 20 books in … Continue reading Welcome to 2022!

Short Circuits: Summertime
Random thoughts, observations, and updates on a Friday afternoon. I FINALLY feel like I'm getting back to a 'comfortable routine', after months of spinning my wheels! I cleaned my bathroom, cleaned the hall, cleaned the stove top, and swept the living room, things that I had put off for months due to mental and physical … Continue reading Short Circuits: Summertime
COVID-19: ‘Safe at 3rd!’
It is May 1st and I am fully vaccinated from Covid-19! I got my 2nd shot on April 7th. I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have those shots out of the way!
