Finally, a political figure is memed and parodied without any obvious malice. Do you remember “Flat Stanley”? Many years ago, a cousin made me aware of the exploits and travels of a fictional figure named Stanley, who had somehow become … compressed. Inspired by those stories, and now all the Facebook/internet memes of Bernie Sanders … Continue reading
Always watched: This lends new meaning to “home shopping”: I discovered four more pairs of pants or jeans that fit that I had forgotten I ever owned. I’m not sure that I put them at the back of the closet because they didn’t fit one day, or I simply didn’t have an occasion for them. … Continue reading
Yesterday I went through a bunch of clothes, and then took Mica for a car ride and dropped them off at the Thrift Store. I was not certain that our local church still took clothing, or if they again took clothing as they did before covid, but I found this out. I couldn’t face a … Continue reading
I think it’s Wednesday. Am watching Biden’s inauguration, the preamble at this point, so it must be Wed., January 20th. Sign of the times: I don’t even recognize half the playahs in their masks. Thank goodness for news coverage, even if it is “evil left wing mainstream wrong news”. 😉 My heart feels glad and … Continue reading
It used to be that I would simply know what day it was, then check my appointment book to see what what work there was. Usually, no matter how busy the Pet Hostel was, I didn’t forget the “lineup” for the day. Now that work is even more precious (sporadic) than ever, today I woke … Continue reading
Other than having some fun in the kitchen, I did almost nothing yesterday. Breakfast yesterday was just pedestrian ol’ french toast for Gary and fried eggs for me. For lunch, I retrieved the last chunk of roast brisket from the freezer and made Beef Barley Soup, of course in the InstantPot. Then I made moussaka … Continue reading
I have just had to reread several times the first few paragraphs of Rachel’s blog because we have one eye each on the news, and have revisited the confrontation I had with a client on Friday. I have got “behind” reading this diary of a beautiful young woman writer in New York and also haven’t … Continue reading
After yesterday’s challenges with the uh, outside world, I went to bed stewing, and slept in. Woke thinking nothing was too bad after all. I don’t need to be anywhere other than to pick up a frivolous item I spoke for in the Facebook Buy & Sell. Mica and I will enjoy the car ride. … Continue reading
Instead of deferring some work to tomorrow, I accepted a sort of walk-in today. My customer politely asked if I had time to groom her two dogs “today or tomorrow”, calling at lunchtime Friday. I tell everyone, “You can always ask …”, and the rare time that I have made anyone feel sheepish for last-minute … Continue reading
Can you believe that it’s Friday again? The weeks seem to vanish and the days swim together, even if, even though we are not busy and are living our lives in relative isolation. You would think that time would crawl, but I almost never feel bored; I told Chantal at the Dunster Store yesterday that … Continue reading
