Vacation Thoughts XIV

I guess you can draw your own conclusions a to the cause. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found online. Some […]

Vacation Thoughts XIII

It is a little late for me to think this, and when I was younger it would never have occurred to me. Still, there are the days when I wish i could be a carefree teenager again. The feeling gets overwhelming on February 30 each year. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to […]

Wrong Season Flashback

For our Flashback Friday we go back to August 9, 2018. I noticed this year that Halloween displays now start in July. There’s a message there somewhere. It is August. I am sure of that because I read it on the calendar. Though my first visit of the year to a Canadian grocery store had […]

Vacation Thoughts XII

I have one on my office floor as I type this. It has been there all week. I have no use for it, but it is a good box, and who knows what the future holds? I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a […]

Vacation Thoughts XI

I’m tempted to do this – but all my passwords are different. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found online. Some […]

So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found online. Some days it will be something […]

I realize the science doesn’t back that up, but do you care? I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found online. Some […]

Vacation Thoughts VIII

It’s such a tempting rabbit hole to fall down. Usually I manage not to get drawn in, but once or twice over the past couple of decades I’ve gotten pulled in and tried to educate some rather ignorant people. I’ve learned it can’t be done – people choose to believe what they like and don’t […]

Vacation Thoughts VII

I never did like the blood donor questionnaire. It never made sense to me that I had to answer the same questions over and over several times a year. I have a donor card, I am in your system, obviously you have taken my blood before. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to […]

Beach Flashback

On Fridays this year I am reposting material from the same date in years past. This one comes from August 2, 2015. My vacation routine is unchanged – this is still the way I spend my days when on vacation. I don’t have anywhere near as much time to read for pleasure as I would like […]
