I’ve stopped worrying about the stupid phone typos. If I have time to correct it, I do. Otherwise, I just leave it.

I’m the same way with IMs at work. I despise them. People have learned that with me, they’re only for brief communications, not lengthy discussions. When someone tries to do a long, detailed conversation on the “chat” feature, I ask them to either send me an e-mail or call me, depending on the complexity. I tell them “Enough with the tiny typing.” 🤪

No problem. I’m glad you found the mirror! I’m sure I’d have one if I wore anything other than lipstick. It’s hard to put on makeup using the bathroom mirror even if the lighting is okay, especially if it means leaning over the sink.

Our service went very well. It’s “Children’s Day” in Mexico, so we did some songs for children, and all the children got a gift from the congregation.

Now we’re having a thunderstorm.

Exactly. I agree 100%.

But here, we’re kinda “we all do it on our phones, so...”

This is family, and probably the only thread where no one cares and the points don’t mean a thing!

Years ago, I wore less makeup, even with the scars, but these days, with the loss of collagen, the scars are more evident, so makeup it is. And as I have understated so many times, I’d like to shoot the architect who designed these buildings. The bathroom is a joke.

Next Sunday being Mother’s Day, I think they’re going to have the kids sing to us. I always enjoy that, because no matter how many of these I’ve been to, in how many different places, there is always that one little boy, standing right up to the railing in his Sunday Best, singing at the top of his lungs and animating every syllable. Sometimes it’s a girl who garners the attention, but it’s usually the boys. So I look forward to it every year.

You’re probably having that storm we had yesterday. Today was gorgeous, and tomorrow will start the rain for another week. *sigh*

The laundry is sorted, so I may or may not be ready to go out early tomorrow morning. Last week, I left my coin purse in the laundry room. Unngh...

It was a brief storm. It’s not unusual for these systems to brush by us.

Frank and Kathleen have Wilderness Survival Day Camp tomorrow. They need to make lunches!

And again:

Next random puzzle.

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

Second guess, got the whole word, yet again.

I’m definitely totally in The Zone!

Our storm yesterday was all of 35 minutes, but between the buildup and the actual sound and light show, it took almost an hour to get by us. Distant thunder for 10 minutes, and then the wind, then show time! Fierce for 35 minutes, then gone in a flash. But boy, was it ever WET in that 35 minutes!

I may make a chicken sandwich tomorrow. Just because it sounds good. But one sandwich is about all one can get out of a little flat can. And the price keeps going up.

Good Evening!

Hoping it was a good weekend for all...

I also wondered if this was an incorrect spelling...

My Walmart has chicken breasts for $1.99/lb. You can freeze them and cook one at a time to make stuff.

I usually have to toss the chicken pieces because of freezer burn. So I buy canned chicken and that way, there’s less waste. (I’m ashamed to even admit the freezer burn thing.)

OK. Off to strip the bed and then I’m outta here for a while!

Cat-ching some sunny Zs!

Good morning. I hope you slept well.

The laundry is mostly done, but the important thing is that I’m out of the laundry room. However, the cost of the laundry has gone up since last week, by 25¢ a machine. Usually, it’s just the washers that go up, but the next increase includes the dryers. Here, it’s all of them. Can’t win for losing.

At least I didn’t leave anything behind this time — except money.

Not bad, thanks. No incidents with Jake! I’m glad you succeeded with the laundry!

Frank and Kathleen have Wilderness Survival Day Camp today. Mapquest says the location is about an hour away, but we’ll leave with plenty of time for bad traffic and getting lost!

I hope it’s a good day for both of them and that you bring a good book! Or something to write a letter with!

Right now, I’m trying to decide if I want a nap or not. I was having such a nice dream when the alarm rang, I really didn’t want to get out of bed. (Now of course, I’m starving!)

When I was rummaging in the closet a few weeks ago, I ran across my bunny slippers. I washed them this morning. They look almost brand new, and I can’t help but cheer up when I see the cute little bunny faces. The world needs more bunny slippers!

I have both a book and more birthday cards. It depends on whether I’m needed to help out, though.

Good morning. Happy Monday.

We seem to have survived the weekend. Not that it was all that difficult this time.

The weekend had lots of this kind of thing:
