Back in LA. Looks like I left London at the right time, as the temp started dropping and a new variant wanting some attention. I lived in the Midwest for over 20 years, and 4 years in LA has made me forget what life in negative temps is like. 😂 That damp wet cold that showed up in London when I was leaving had me acting a straight fool. You would think I never experienced walking to the train with prickly cold cheeks as the wind made me cry.

I do feel a little less anxious about my dad’s estate. There’s still a long road ahead, as there’s still a lot of unfinished business, but it’s nice to get a little more clarity and closure on the house sitch.

It’ll be 1 year since he died in a couple of weeks, and it’s been hard that it’s taken this long to sort some of these things out. I have an amazing support network and I just have to trust that everything will work out like it needs to.

Planning some lessons for my classes that I have to teach tonight, after not having taught in almost 6 weeks. 🙃

This Flowanastasia and Nymfo hitting a little too on the nose for me today. 😂

Also really vibin’ to this Break remix.

I survived summer classes.  Woot.  It was touch and go there for a while.. 😉  There’s 3 weeks before fall semester starts and I’m relishing in that little time to enjoy my summer holidays.  Like I’ve said before, any day where I don’t have to think about whether or not I did my homework or read the numerous pages in my textbook is a lovely one.

In dnb land I’ve become a robot.  LOL.  I was reading so much and doing so much work for school that I would just have a line of mixes that I was playing to keep me sane.  I’m so glad that the days of not being able to find dnb mixes to listen to are over cuz the past couple of weeks would have been pretty rough!  Big ups all the other bloggers out there that help us dnb maniacs find mixes and tunes to download and listen to. ❤

I’m happy to report that there is a wicked dnb event tonight which coincides perfectly with the start of my summer holiday.  Yes!  Tonight I will be enjoying cocktails with my besties and listening to dnb very loudly.  If you live in Chicago, you should be doing the same.  No cover, Caculon, Stunna, Submorphics, Radiata, Midway, Dr. Groo and MC Question Mark.  Can’t really beat that folks.

Today has been pretty awesome.  I had the day off work so I just came to my brother’s aka “my library” and studied, listened to Bassdrive, talked in BD Chat for a wee bit, ate whatever I wanted and lounged.  All in all a pretty good day if you ask me. 🙂

Green Bean Casserole Kiki

/ Kiki / Leave a comment

That’s my speciality.  I make a mean green bean casserole.  I have my own recipe but the main ingredients are still there.  I just add a few odds and ends to yum it up. 🙂

It’s been great being home.  My sister is here who I never get to see which is awesome.  Our house is chockablock full of peeps and that’s how I like it.

I hope all of you U.S. peeps enjoy your Turkey day.

Toodles.

Disoriented Kiki

Everything’s a blur these days.  I thought it was the 17th all day yesterday and then realised I was 3 days behind.  I’m super busy but it’s a good busy.  I had no transition.  I went from not working for a year to working 5 days a week.  I’m very much relishing in my days off and attempting to catch up on sleep.

Kiki Roker

Al Roker is a weatherman right?  I swear you would think I’m a meteorologist since all I do is talk about the weather these days but seriously it’s gorgeous out.  I just came in from frolicking around outside…  okay I wasn’t frolicking but I feel like it paints a sunnier picture of how lovely it is outside if I say frolicking.  Bear with me people, the weather is a huge focus for an unemployed person like myself who spends a majority of her time inside her apartment. 😉

Last night was fun.  I miss not being able to go out and hear dnb regularly.  We have really awesome local dnb djs here in Chicago.  Love it. ❤
