Rarely updated entries on my life. Currently Reading . . . The 2016 Hugo nominations. Are in. I don’t have the time or eloquence to say all the things that could be said about them. I am glad that my first year to vote in the Hugos was back in 2014, prior to the successful rabid puppy hijackings. I think fondly of the quality of most of those nominations. The one exception for me is the current novel nominations which I’m pretty happy with this year. And The Fifth Season. But I have enjoyed all of Butche...

Rarely updated entries on my life. Currently Reading . . . Continuing to work was definitely the right decision. I’m sure my postpartum depression would have been even worse if I hadn’t been able to mentally escape at work. As soon as I realized there was uncertainty about my job I started looking for interesting jobs I could do from San Francisco. I knew I was too specialized but I hadn’t done anything about it because I was secretly hoping to be able to keep my job forever while wandering the...My last...

Rarely updated entries on my life. Currently Reading . . . Pre-pregnant I usually went to bed around 9:30. In the first trimester, I took a nap right after supper and then would wake up just enough to toddle up to bed. Now I’m splitting the difference and, when work doesn’t interfere, have been going to bed around 8pm. However, I’m still finding some time to read. By Beth Cato – Octavia Leander is a very gifted medician. After the exhaustion of healing wounded soldiers, Octavia is ready to sett...Was a l...

Rarely updated entries on my life. Currently Reading . . . Category Archives: Parks and Playgrounds. Tantra Park, Boulder, CO. Was the first park we visited last Sunday. Based on the map I knew the park was tucked away behind the houses but the park sprawls in an odd shape and I wasn’t sure where the playground structure was located. I looked at the satellite image and misidentified a catch basin as the likely spot. According to Boulder Families. The hill can get quite packed. This site. After meandering...

Rarely updated entries on my life. Currently Reading . . . When this year started we expected that our major event of the year would be Julian’s birth. That did indeed happen. However, a bit more has also happened. By October Jaeger had progressed to an on-site interview with Google. He survived the interview only to hear they wanted another follow-up interview but could do this one in Boulder. Well, that’s pretty much all the facts. As to how I feel, the answer is complicated. Unfortunately, Julian stil...

Rarely updated entries on my life. Currently Reading . . . My recovery after the c-section continued to go well. By that evening I had stood up for a couple of minutes. BCH has a nurse practitioner onsite from Children’s Hospital that rotate in 24 hr shifts. This changed everything. All of a sudden we were moved from our standard recovery room to a “special care nursery” suite. The move was surreal. I had researched BCH’s NICU prior to picking the hospital because I half exp...And an adjacent room for th...
