What's on your mind? (2024)

Finally opened the shipping box with Izzy’s ashes. What’s inside is a fancy shopping bad lined in bubble wrap with his box inside, and a tag. 50 years of saying goodbye to kitties - I have all the ashes; I’m going to have to create a bookshelf columbarium. This loss has been the worst. So quick, and he was so young. This coming week’s events are not going to help. And next week-end, against all better judgment, I’m bringing home a new baby brother for my ancient girl, who has survived 2 doting brothers. The baby I hope will cease being an annoyance very quickly snd become a snuggler to watch over her.

I am always perplexed as to how a clothes dryer can nest and twist sheets so tightly inside each other that it becomes a puzzle to untangle them.

That’s a distraction! Don’t fall for it! They do that so you won’t notice that they’ve eaten a sock or two.

Those oversized tennis ball-like things you can put in with them seem to help a bit.

I should give those a try. Today’s twist was honestly like trying the find the end of the clear packing tape after a good amount of it was already ripped away.

In a perfect world you could take your proposed new dryer on a test drive. We lucked out with our Asko “butterfly” action dryer. Yes, stuff looks like it has compressed into a football but immediately falls apart into unwrinkled items.

I play nyt games every morning and also utilize the cooking section. I hope the strike is resolved in short order.

As someone said, it’s like the entire nation is waiting for the results of a biopsy.

Thank you to the very discourteous soul sitting one person away from me, who coughed her way through the concert I attended the other night. I don’t think it is COVID, but I have the worse-est cold I’ve had in years. Perfect for hibernating today😵. I didn’t really want to leave the house today, anyway. (insert very bad word).

Or an STD test, as someone else said.

Biopsy’s worse… unless we’re talking syph.

Or AIDS.

There are treatments for that, tho.

Do you just want the last word? because that’s what it seems like.

My son’s office closed for the day. I wish I was off because I am extremely unfocused. Rehearsal tonight is going to be a complete waste of time tonight, I suspect.

Scheduled Power outage planned.

Hope that helps avoid fires. Stay safe. I thought at first it was a self imposed “power outage.”
