Random Quote
All of us, we make mistakes. And at times we are lost. And as we get older, we learn we don’t always have control of things — not even a president does. But we do have control over how we respond to the world. We do have control over how we treat one another.

Day 175: Chores Never End
Every day I do dishes and laundry. If I didn’t, dirty dishes and clothes would pile up all over the place, and we’d have nothing to eat off of and nothing to wear. But, as anyone who has to maintain … Continue reading
Day 174: Should I Wear Shoes?
I always page through old magazines before I recycle them. I look for interesting articles that I may have missed, as well as themes and quotes to use for work. As I was looking though the May/June issue of Rhode … Continue reading
Day 172: Swearing
Sometimes when I’m surprised or angry, I say “Fuggernuts!” or “Furganots!” in place of the usual vulgarities. I don’t know where these words came from, but I’ve noticed that I’m using them more often lately. There’s a lot to swear … Continue reading
Day 163: Random Sunday Thoughts
My husband accidentally melted rubber (from a spatula) onto our waffle iron a few weeks ago, and we haven’t had Sunday waffles since. Instead, we’ve had Sunday pancakes. This change is fine by me. It might be possible to remove … Continue reading

I am reading The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell. I’m about a fifth of the way through, and so far it’s good, but it’s not suiting my mood. Consequently I’m not sure what to do with it. If I stop … Continue reading
Time to Go to Bed
When you see the phrase “respiratory therapist” and read it as “conspiracy theorist,” it’s time to go to bed.
Day 116: This Post’s For You
I’m supposed to write a post for every day, but sometimes I get lazy and fall behind, and sometimes I might even get a little cranky and question the whole point of it. So I remind myself that the point … Continue reading

Day 115: Acorn Memories
My short-term memory is shot. It’s gotten so bad that I cannot remember which lap I’m on as I’m walking my daily 16 (or more) laps. Not that accuracy is critical, but I strive to walk at least my daily … Continue reading
Day 114: So Long
My hair is longer now than it has been in more than a decade. I had already postponed getting a haircut several times before the pandemic hit, so my hair was longer than it ought to have been. Now it … Continue reading
