Happy Holidays

Hello, everyone. I hope your holiday season is going well.

Last Weeks of Summer

I can't believe there are only few weeks left of what has to have been the weirdest summer in years. Though time is flying by and I haven't had the chance to swim or go to a beach (not risking it), I have definitely been able to enjoy the outdoors this summer. I've done lots … Continue reading Last Weeks of Summer →

Overdue Post

Hello, everyone! It has been way too long since I've written. Things have been kind of crazy, as I'm sure they are for most people lately.

I've also spent a lot of time walking around talking to my plants, but I'm sure I'm not the only one! The best part is that the last week has been pretty mild … Continue reading A Week of Cooking and Talking to My Plants →

A Week at Home

Since I wrote last week, I've been working from home, and things have calmed down a bit. While coronavirus communication is still at the forefront, I am able to work on some of the things I used to work on daily, like news stories and press releases. Various departments at my university are working hard … Continue reading A Week at Home →
