I discovered over the last 7 days that sitting around relaxing moping isn't as fun as I thought it would be. A little bit of a** kicking to oust 2020 was what I really wanted to be doing. So I read books instead. Now I wonder how in the world people find a comfortable way… Continue reading Time to box up 2020 for good

Magnetic thoughts on togetherness align in our empty nest
When the planets aligned 400 years ago, did the people living then think, "What the h*ll is about to happen here? We're witnessing something that won't happen again for a really long time." But that was nothing like what we've got going on here in 2020. Not just planets aligning, but a pandemic dividing and… Continue reading Magnetic thoughts on togetherness align in our empty nest

A Birthday Interview with a Baby of the Baby-Boomers
With optimism, here's a slightly different type of post from the perspective of a formerly high-risk for viruses baby boomer who lived to be 56 today! I recently (just 10 minutes ago, while pouring my first cup of coffee) interviewed myself on my birthday (aka, today). I hadn't even been up 15 minutes and my… Continue reading A Birthday Interview with a Baby of the Baby-Boomers
Ringing in my 888th post with some purse talk
When it comes to shopping, what rings true for you in 2020? What rings true for you in 2022 would rhyme better than 2020, don't you agree? Silly me. Sigh, I don't know about you, but SOOOOOOO many things about shopping sound better than accepting much of what has transpired and happened to it in… Continue reading Ringing in my 888th post with some purse talk
