'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
attack that lawn before it gets too hot.
That is excellent advice.
I have never traveled for business. When I interviewed for my current job I was told occasional travel was a requirement, but there hasn't been any budget for it since then. And I haven't stayed in a hotel in my leisure time in quite a while (excepting Amsterdam where, if memory serves, we got free wifi and breakfast)
Suzi, I've been seeing your downed branch pictures. Wacky.
Hey, Becky! I'm pretty sure I've seen you delurk in the past! Happy redelurking day!
I seem to be the only one in the neighborhood losing branches. I also have one of two crabapple trees on my street. I didn't know they were such delicate trees.
OK! Fit my stuff, including computer, into my tiny roller bag, so I just need that and a regular purse, which is a good thing for a two-day trip. AND sorted through my sock drawer AND wiped down the sink.
There is something weirdly satisfying about wiping down an empty kitchen sink.
Happy birthday, Sheryl!
Dana, I hope you can get some relief for the migraine. I can't imagine two weeks of even bearable-level pain.
The "sparking joy" is supposed to be about things, yes; but I prefer William Blake's rule to Marie Kondo's.
If you want a golden rule that will fit everybody, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
So much this. I mean, my toaster doesn't "spark joy" but I certainly like what it does for me.
I did my taxes for the first time all by myself! And it was not that hard! I'm more than a little ashamed this is the first time, but now I'm a pro, I guess.
This was actually the bathroom, although I did the kitchen this morning! I love doing the bathroom sink because it looks so clean after.
My son is 9 and goes to the bathroom by himself in public, but it hasn't been a super long time - 2 years, max. He's rather shy and does not like to go places by himself in general, though.
I have flowers! I may have overbought. And didn't get dirt, which might have been an error. We will see.
Sara, you have just reminded me that if I'm not going to get a pedicure I should really hit the farmers market. Except I'm trying not to walk much (the 7 mile run yesterday was fine on my muscles, not so fine on what I'm thinking is tendinitis in one foot??). Pedicure is a drive, farmers market is a walk. Hmm.
