So, how has 2022 been for you?
So, it’s about time to my biannual entry. Damn, when I said a few years ago I wanted to post more frequently this is NOT what I imagined. Posting once every 6-7 months is definitely not my ideal, but hey, I have been painting a lot lately, perhaps I can write about that in a […]
Making Sense of Things
I have to say it — 2021 has been one of my least favorite years ever. And I don’t want to appear bitchy or unappreciative, but I have had some rough years in my life, and this one is way ahead in my ranking right now. And guess what? It isn’t over yet. 28 more […]
What Doesn’t Add Up
I had an epistolary conversation with one of my fellow linguists who after a few years of collaboration I now consider my friend. We were discussing his father’s situation. Unfortunately, his dad has cancer in a very advanced stage and he is currently investing his time traveling, visiting relatives and old friends, sort of going […]
Spring!
Well, it’s Spring once again – it’s been Spring officially for some weeks now, but let’s be honest, it has felt like Spring for a couple of months already. That’s the life in my part of the world, being warm all the time. There are several things I feel compelled to do whenever the temperature […]
23 and Counting
I’ve been fat pretty much my whole adult life. I now feel confident I have adopted a true lifestyle change and that what I am doing on a daily basis is a long-term change and not only the most recent fad we are all following in the hopes of losing weight in a fast and […]
A More Affordable Version of the Vertical Garden
One my lovely readers said she had loved the previous post about the vertical garden, but told me it was not her best fit given the economic investment it represented. Sure, I had already mentioned this vegetable growing thing does not make any sort of sense money-wise – you are not going to be able […]
Vertical garden
This is the second post I promised I would publish because some people had already asked me about it, so here we go, and I hope you can still find it helpful. When I wrote about my sourdough I warned I was no expert at all and that it was my first time attempting any […]
Quarantined sourdough
A couple of weeks ago, I started annoying some of my friends and family members with this idea that I had about starting my own batch of sourdough. It started as a culinary challenge, and then little by little it became a part of a joke related to this apocalyptic scenario we are all living […]
Alfa’s Day at the Beach
This is an update regarding the February 10th post I published about the oil painting I was working on, and how I have tried to practice to improve my painting skills. Well, I finally finished my daughter’s picture. Painting Alfa was perhaps what worried me the most, and the funny thing is that once I […]
Life in Terms of Calories
Today I had to leave home early on a Saturday morning because during the week a stone was ejected by a moving vehicle against my windshield, and the insurance company was flexible enough to provide the service while my husband takes care of our children. To all single persons out there, the previous paragraph may […]
