Snail Mail
“Something Good” Sunday This week has been a mixed bag of things happening and emotions being felt. A recurring dream I had made me question past events in my life and made me a little antsy to hurry up and get to my next therapy appointment. Despite that dream, for most of the week, I… →

Golden Girls Summer
Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot was saved on July 3, 2021. The summer after Covid. I saved it because that year, my online knitting group returned to holding our annual summer knitting “camp”. We couldn’t have it during 2020 because of Covid and the shutdown. But we came back with a vengeance the next year.… →

“Let Your Freak Flag Fly”
Describe something you learned in high school. What I learned in high school?! Oh boy. I feel a whirlwind of snarky comments coming on with this one. High school was not a good experience for me.

Bring Back Snail Mail!
Today has been marked on my calendar for a while. It is none other than the day that the Betty White stamps are available. I hustled to the post office and bought a conservative three sheets of them. Apparently someone who came in earlier than me bought five sheets. Please observe this selfie of me… →
