Bummer about the hot water. Shannon openly hates Jake!

We had a really good time.

I have an hour before I have to think about getting ready for church, but it was cold enough in here this morning to need the space heater again.

Anyway, it’s Sunday and time for an uplifting talk. Then I’ll feel very good! ;o]

I had a shower when we got home yesterday, but I could have another.

The shower was hot enough to last long enough to get me started, even though it was almost an hour late. I guess it doesn’t mean much in the Sunday scheme of things, since we don’t usually leave until five minutes before the first meeting starts, and the chapel is 10 minutes away.

I’ll start to get ready in a few minutes. My back hurts so much here that I have to do stuff in stages. The decent lighting in the bathroom is so far away from the toilet that I can’t put my makeup on without flexing my knees against the vanity for support so I can see what I’m doing. Unngh.

But it’s OK! I’m alive! ;o]

Can you get a self-lit makeup mirror? I think they make battery-powered ones that will stick on your bathroom mirror.

Third try, two letters in the wrong positions. Nailed it on the fourth try.

I’ll check. I’m sure Amazon has one, but pay day is still a few days off, and a mirror will have to go in the “Want” column instead of the “Need” column.

Like I say, I’ll check! I’d rather do the makeup sitting down, as I did for years. My makeup vanity finally gave up the ghost (one of my smarter purchases when we lived in Germany) and I’ve been standing ever since. I don’t like it!

Excellent!

I didn’t sleep well last night, so today’s effort wasn’t entirely unexpected. Tomorrow’s will be better!

Walmart has several, priced $40 or less.

This is more in line with what I had. Wooden case, tilt mirror (large) and makeup drawer. I probably paid less than four Marks for it (about a dollar, then) and it lasted a good many years.

But this is about the closest thing I could find that meets all the needs.

Don’t feel bad at all! It’s a misspelled word, in my opinion. I only got it because I was chasing out letters. I didn’t think this would solve it. I don’t van wondered if it would let me put it in.

Weird day. Next random game, one correct letter in the correct place tries 1, 2 and 3, same letter, same place. Then totally nailed the whole word on try 4.

My ride was here before I could even respond to your response, so I apologize for that. Most Sundays they’re another 15 minutes out before I get the text that says they’re on the way.

I didn’t want to go to begin with, didn’t like being there, and didn’t get to leave when I wanted to. Other than that, it was a great service!

The salad I bought at Walmart yesterday wasn’t worth the money. The lettuce was brown, so I’m glad I listened to “the voice” that said to pick up a bag of lettuce along with an avocado and a couple of tomatoes.

To quote a dear friend, why does everything have to be so hard?

It WAS misspelled, but I’ve run across it several times lately, so I’m thinking folks are just plain “ignernt pukes.”

You did a good job, though, even for all that! (Or is it “van” for all that?) ;o])

Good job! But you had Tyson, who-isn’t-allowed-on-furniture, to help you.

I’ve had days like that, but my spectacular winning streak of 19 has been put on the back burner. I wonder how long it will take me to get another 19 in a row?

Tyson who thought he was tricking me out of my bed at 3:30 this morning.

Anyway I’m in the zone today. First try, two letters, one in the correct place. Second try, entire word.

Next random puzzle.

One correct letter in the correct place on the first guess.

Second guess, got the whole word.

I’m definitely in The Zone.
