Sunday Coffee – The Great Kitty Escape (and more)
It has been one crazy week! It started with a nightmare night where the cats apparently popped out a screen window and escaped. I doubt it was intentional – the window they went through is one where Jojo often hunts … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Chopping Down the Chinaberry Trees
Chopping down trees – this is a thing I do not like to do. Unless the tree is dangerous or dead, I’d rather keep them up no matter how annoying. At my pre-Boston house, we had two ash trees that … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Ghost Stories
Audible has started giving away two of its Original productions to members each month. This month, I picked a nonfiction listen for November, and a short ghost story for RIP. The audio was just over half an hour long, so … Continue reading

Sunday Coffee – Back to School!
This photo doesn’t begin to show just how happy I am for school to start again and my routine to go back to normal!!!!!!!! (Also, never mind my obvious fatigue. Insomnia sucks.) I wish I could say that I’m also … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – This Week in the Gignacery
Lots going on, thought I’d give snippet updates. 1 – Morrigan developed shin splints at the end of last week in marching band. They were so bad that he couldn’t even walk up the stairs alone. My aunt Mary, who’s … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Another House Update
When your house is ripped apart and coming back together slowly, your world eventually sharpens until that work, the last stages of it, becomes all you can do and think about. You just want it to be over and done … Continue reading
