Keely vs. the fox: “OH WRETCHED VILLAINY IS AFOOT! WE MUST FIND THIS VILE FIEND!!!!”
12/4/2021 – foggy bottom Saturday
Keely and I both slept in until about 6:30 a.m., so the sun was trying to break through the fog by the time we got out the door. As you can see, the sun was not entirely successful. I love the bleakness of this shot, for reasons I probably don't want to explore at...
12/3/2021 – Friday, oh Friday
It's Friday, so for working stiff's like me it's the end of the workweek. I really wanted to stay in bed but I was awake at our regular hour so Keely and I headed out for our walk. ...in an unusual move, I wrote out this post then deleted most of it and started over....
12/2/2021 – Thursday
I almost wrote "Tuesday" instead of Thursday, so that's how today's going. Got to work to find out that our accessible conversion golfcarts had been attacked overnight, putting them out of service for who knows how long. The real issue though is the hate crime part,...
12/1/2021 – cue “December ALREADY?” freakout
Well, it's December. *looks around* I guess? I still sometimes feel like we are working through March 2020 2.0, while other times I feel like we're five years ahead in dystopia. Which I suppose we are, one way or another. And while I'm very much in a downer mood about...

I think the COVID19 booster vax side effects were still running me ragged yesterday, as by the time I got home from work I was flat exhausted. I mean to record another module for my online course, "Out from Fanfic," but instead ate half a dinner and then crashed into...

Each fitness studio has it’s own “vibe” that is only incidentally about fitness, I think. It’s ironic, then, that none of them are “about” fat people.
11/28/2021 – Sunday (revenge of the covid booster shot)
Yesterday afternoon was great, spent going to lunch with a friend and then perusing a used books store (danger! danger! ...yes I bought some books, I'm not a monster!). But then at about 2 p.m. I started feeling tired and getting a headache. I just felt so fuzzy...

It’s always struck me as a very odd restaurant, a relic of the cold war era or maybe the depressing beige 1970s.
11/26/2021 – Friday after U.S. Thanksgiving
This is late, and by late, I mean several months late. I quit writing Keely's Way in late July. I don't think it is a coincidence that I stopped updating this blog nearly at the same time Florida State employees were ordered back to the offices full time in what is...
7/26/2021 – Monday
I was asked recently if I'm okay, and the answer is: no. I'm not. I managed to struggle-bus through lockdown and "re-opening" but as we get ready to start the fall term at FSU I think everything is finally hitting me like a rockslide. Yes, I'm starting up therapy...
7/22/2021 – Thursday
Having a bad brain day, as the saying goes. A co-worker accurately labeled it "free floating dread". What do I fear? I have no idea, which is one of the less-fun aspects of anxiety. I'm not specifically scared of catching COVID19 (I'm vaxxed and cautious) or of...
