Currently (March 2026 Edition)

Reading:

I was finally starting to read again, and then Scotty downloaded Viticulture and Everdell (two digital board games), and I started using every spare minute to feed my gaming addiction instead of my reading addiction. So I’ve been reading the third book in the housemaid series for almost a month now!

Wearing: black stretchy pants and a Yellowstone hoodie (which I will soon have to remove because it’s too warm for hoodies).

Eating: Chicken Pesto Tortellini Soup

Watching: 

Right now my favorite shows are Shrinking and The Pitt, but I cannot recommend them because they are both very much not PG. 

I was a diehard Scrubs fan back in its prime, so I am obligated to watch the reboot. They have released two episodes so far (I’ve watched them both twice because I watched them at work and felt like I was cheating on Scotty, so I rewatched them with him later). 

I don’t know if the series will do well or not, but I will say that I wept for the first five minutes of the first episode because I felt like I was meeting up with old friends after years of separation. 

(Random fact: Scrubs and Shrinking are from the same creator - Bill Lawrence - and the shows have many overlapping cast members and cameos. This is something I have to geek over in silence because being a fan of a TV show can sometimes be very lonely. I realize there’s an entire fandom online I could participate in, but that’s not the same as interacting with a real human and sharing a common interest).

Last week while I was sick I rewatched Tess of the D’Ubervilles and Wuthering Heights. 

Angel and Heathcliff make me so angry!

Hoping: that everything I currently have saturated in stain remover will come out of the laundry with success (working with grass stains and pork grease).

Happy about: finding a loophole to make it possible to post photos from my phone. I have to use a different browser, and there are some inconveniences to that, but it works!

Update: Never mind. It worked for a few photos, and now it’s not working anymore.

Singing: “Lucky” by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz.

Worried about: Mexico, Iran, the entire world being ran by perverts, technology, AI, my children, everyone’s mental and physical health, how we will take care of our eight aging parents, medical bills, the weird sounds our pipes make when we flush the toilet, a million Church things, and my high blood pressure that won’t go down even though I’m on the highest allowable dose of two different BP meds. 

Buying: butter from Sam's Club because it's unusually cheap right now. 

Annoyed by: loud cars.

Playing: the newest expansion of Wingspan.

Baking: Tres Leches for Game Night (I started this post on Friday. Right now it’s Saturday. But I probably won’t finish and post it until Monday, so the concept of “currently” spans across many days and is usually a lie by the time my post is actually published).

Grateful for: all of my working limbs.
