Oh, Mother

I spent more than half a year without my mom.
It's been half a year since the last time I spoke to her, saw her, hugged her, touched her.
I still unconsciously expect a text from her to come anytime now.

Early blooming, more concerning?

The cherry blossoms in Washington DC are almost at their peak. Earlier than expected! That means it's springtime, right?

Today's high is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit, but just a few days ago I swear the high only reached 40-something degrees. And that’s still in Fahrenheit.

The "bipolar" weather these days is just one of the effects of climate change and global warming.

When everyone else stays indoors... #Snowmaggedon

I started to crave a cheesy, chicken quesadilla. And I figured I could use several cheesy, chicken quesadilla meals when I'm subsequently stuck at home during the looming #snowpocalypse2016.

So an hour before the said snowmaggedon was supposed to hit, I walked to my neighborhood grocery store for my emergency sustenance: quesadilla ingredients. Cilantro included.
