So, I was laid up with a cold for five days last week, which meant I got through a lot of knitting, three seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and a whole bunch of tinkering around on my laptop. The results: a series of maps and rough mileage estimate for my cross-country digital nomading over the past year. Y’all. I clocked a lot of miles. Continue reading “Mapping My Adventures”
These awesome, power-packed breakfast muffins are made with almond flour/meal, oats, carrots, and zucchini — which means they’re gluten-free and healthy-ish without tasting like it. I’ve been making them for years, and instead of sharing the recipe piecemeal, it’s high time I posted it here. (I’ve put it off in part because, well, they’re a little homely).

I’ve been itinerant (i.e. a digital nomad) for eleven and a half months now, or 348 days, to be precise (but who’s counting?). And, honestly, I’m kind of over it. I was kind of over it at the seven month mark, which is one of the various reasons I haven’t written much the past few months… tired and grumpy posting just didn’t seem terribly appealing to anyone. Not that it’s all been tired and grumpy! It’s also been awesome and super busy. Continue reading “Digital Nomad Series: Home is Where Your Stuff Is… Unpacked”

But, this is by far the best homemade chocolate cream pie ever. All the people I’ve fed it to agree. Continue reading “The Best Dark Chocolate Cream Pie”
Y’all, with a name like Skedaddle, I obviously had to run this race. Continue reading “Sioux Falls Skedaddle Half Marathon: Race Review”
I spent the day yesterday hiking around Barro Colorado — the Smithsonian Institute’s research island in the middle of the Panama Canal. This was my first rain forest experience, and I’m both glad I went and much more aware of how totally un-equipped I am for tropical living. Continue reading “Digital Nomad Series: The Jungle Is (Mostly) Designed to Kill You”
I’m writing this from a hammock on the front porch of a beach house off the Pacific coast of Panama. (Sorry, not sorry for all the prepositional phrases there). The rain has been softly falling for a while now, and that has (thankfully) cooled things off enough to make dusk an enjoyable time to be outside. Ten days ago, I was relaxing on a very different front porch in La Crosse, Wisconsin and had no idea that I’d be here. Continue reading “Digital Nomad Series: A Peaceful Few Days in Panama”
