Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ireland! Oh, wow, Nora, that would be awesome! All your reasons for moving there make total sense. Me, I loved Ireland so much, if I hadn't already bought a house here and I didn't have three neurotic cats, I'd have moved to Dublin already. Even if not forever, I'd happily spend at least a year there.

I'd like a magical PC app that lets me make bullet-like lists and reminds me to act on list items; take pills; and get up and move around. It should also give me virtual rewards for doing these things.

I need and want this. A true virtual personal assistant.

Have you looked at Choremonster? It is meant to make your kids do chores, and has rewards, but I am not sure if you can set it to poke you.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wow Nora! That sounds amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a service you can continue providing us, Nora, living in a fun to visit destination!

For real, though!

I got my front yard from embarrassing to merely crappy, so that's something. And in the process of looking for a spray bottle to put vinegar in, I found my grandmother's ammonia, so that's what I put on the hammock.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got my front yard from embarrassing to merely crappy

That's what I did last week! So I'm assuming I can ignore it this week without actually looking too hard at it.

Hahahaha, right?

That's what I'll do for the next....month, probably.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I walked around our new bathroom, sticking tape on areas that need touch up. and that's about it. They are coming tomorrow to put the shower door in and touch up and then we are done! We put storage up where we used to have a big poster, so we now only have one place for a picture in the room. This is what we got: [link]

If I ever came over, I'd probably spend too much time in the bathroom reading all the dictionary definitions!

Totally! And if I decide I want to relocate to Dublin in a couple of years, there'd be Buffistas there.

Okay. I have 5 bags and 1 box of books that I've culled. I probably should cull more. In fact, there are at least 4 books I took out of the "get rid of pile" that I will put back in, because I'm not going to read them. This means I get to flop and watch a movie for a couple of hours before packing my suitcase.
