2020: the year that wasn’t

31 March 2020 by kristarella

I have been reflecting on 2019 and how it set me up for this year. 2019 was wonderful, and at times really difficult. Before 2019 I was not a goal-setter; I had this sense that setting goals was an exercise in futility because there is so much we can’t control that can derail those goals. […]

I have spoken about depression and anxiety before. I have made some significant strides lately in thinking more positively, and dealing with many of the symptoms I experience, but occasionally things are overwhelming and I just have no idea what to do about it. I know others can feel the same way; it’s why “mindfulness” […]

Farewell to 2018

3 January 2019 by kristarella Leave a Comment

We attended a couple of birthday parties for friends’ children in January. February was a very routine month, which included working […]

Using photo location data

13 October 2018 by kristarella Leave a Comment

I have just updated Exifography to version 1.3.1. The changes in the plugin are relatively small, but one thing it does enable is to fetch geo data from images in a variety of formats. In the future this should make it easier to build add-on plugins, such as a map-based directory of photos. For now […]

Highlights of 2017

1 January 2018 by kristarella Leave a Comment

I spent some of my holiday time preparing my bullet journal for 2018 and thought I would make a final spread in my 2017 journal looking back on the year. My depression and anxiety were a bit worse overall this year compared to last, but in spite of that it was a good year. This […]

Took a little break to walk around the block tonig Took a little break to walk around the block tonight and these things caught my eye: crepe myrtle flowers, callistemon and bee (nice to see a bunch of bees around!), lily pily, and vine tracks on a fence.

Built the Lego Succulents this week. I like the li Built the Lego Succulents this week. I like the little blurbs they write about each plant, like how the moon cactus (tall one at the back) needs to be grafted onto another to grow because of its red chlorophyll. I wasn’t keen on the suggested arrangement with the small ones around the outside because I’ll have this on a shelf, so I rearranged them, but I feel like something needs to go in the front left 🤔 We shall see!#lego #legobotanicalcollection #legosucculents
Work in progress: micro Hogwarts! It started with Work in progress: micro Hogwarts! It started with the Build Your Own Hogwarts bag, and I decided I wanted to try to do all or most of Hogwarts! I don’t have enough pieces though (I’ve already run out of roof tiles), I will keep working on the tan structures while I decide whether to get more of the same bags, or order sand green pieces separately.
