photo credit: @markusspiske via Unsplash I am currently lacking a bit of my blogging mojo (can you tell?) and I am employing some help from friends in the form of stealing post ideas (this time again from my friend Elisabeth). You might be familiar with her regular posts of recent demerits and gold stars — so…
TRAVELING | overseas to see my family. Always juggling two passports, which, however, makes the immigration process in each country such a breeze. FEELING | emotionally jetlagged since I arrived late Sunday night. It’s always a harsh transition going between here and there (who can relate?) and I am not quite ready to get back to the…
SPENDING | 5 more days in the desert for fieldwork. It was a little bit more relaxed than last time (shorter work days), we had hot spring-fed pools at the hotel, and I saw a (full) rainbow. BUYING | more goodies at Aldi. On my way home from fieldwork, I once again stopped at an Aldi…
SPENDING | 7 days in the desert for fieldwork. I got to drive a big 4WD truck, see the desert sunrise quite a few times, and “babysit” the GPS receiver for hours on end. It was a good week and I am looking forward to another field trip in March, but it also reminded me…
FEELING | a little bit scattered this month with my aunt’s passing, the severe storms that we had here in California at the beginning of the year, and a quickly escalating work to-do list. The new year has just started, but I feel like time is passing me by right now. How are we already all…
TRYING | a new recipe for detox lentil soup. So good. It has lentils, potatoes, butternut squash, and kale and it’s thick and creamy. I love it. Hi, have we met? I am San and I am a soup lover. HAVING FUN | with all the holiday challenges that my Streakers Group has been putting…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2022 photo credit: @markusspiske via Unsplash I am shamelessly stealing this post idea from my friend Elisabeth (but with proper credit!). A few months ago, she introduced this new blog format of sharing recent demerits and gold stars based on a segment…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2022 WORKING ON | a 30-day yoga streak for November. As I mentioned in my post about my current morning routine, I’ve been doing yoga every day (from at least 10-minute up to 45-minute sessions) and it’s been so nice. I hope…
FEELING | much better after my bout with Covid last week. Thanks to everyone who’s checked in with me. I’ve heard from so many different people now about their experiences with Covid and my take-away is that every case is different and people experienced a huge variety of symptoms, both in variety and intensity. While…
FEELING | rather shocked that it’s already the end of September. I cannot believe how fast this year has been going by. I know I am probably not the only one, but tell me, are you all ready for Halloween already? I am certainly not. WORKING ON | a data publication. It’s kinda exciting because…
