New York State Fair 2023
My daughter and I went to the New York State Fair, since we live in the city where it’s held each year. Its not the sort of thing I would personally travel to see, but they do have tons of unusual food options and cute animals on exhibit so it’s…

An Apartment of Smoke and Fire
There was a fire in my apartment building, the neighbors below me burned their kitchen and so the entire building was filled with smoke. I ignored the sweet scent at first, it was a summer evening, I had the windowns open and sometimes smell things people on the street below…

Barbie Movie
Last week my daughter got tickets for us on the movie theater app, to go see the new Barbie movie (I’ve never written an introduction or described my family here yet but FYI my child is almost 23 years old, so please don’t imagine I have a young child). It…

Facing Unpleasant Consequences

Tragic Jock NPC in Animal Crossing
Trigger warning, I am writing about the topic body image, weight loss and fitness, also bullying. The video game Animal Crossing New Horizons that I’ve been playing for about 6 months did not come with such a warning! It’s a cute dollhouse kind of game where your neighbors in the…

New York Spring
It was 80°F last week, that’s about 27°C. Today it’s cold enough I got snowed upon for a few minutes, while I went for a walk around the park. My daughter had checked the weather forecast before we headed out, hoping to avoid exactly such a surprise! Spring time is…

Darned Pink Socks
I repaired my favorite knit socks a few times because they are so cute and perfect but I’m giving up on them now. The design came from my brain, no pattern at all, they were a custom fit and I loved them. I knit them myself with much attention to…
