People don't read.

The manager of my condo sent me a notice to proofread before she sent it to all the owners. I wrote back - I think it would be clearer if you phrased it like this... Yes, she sent out the email blast with my correction, including, I think it would be clearer if you phrased it like this. Sigh.

I reassured her that no one reads the management emails anyway.

My sister came to look after mom so I ran away from home for a week.

Trudy, if you get another chance to escape this summer, come to Otter Lake!

Oh man, people not reading emails makes me crazy—especially with all the “this meeting could’ve been an email” nonsense—sure, if you actually read and responded to your emails it could!!

Trudy that sounds like a great vacation!

I am stumped by where I ended up in wordle right now. I have a few letters but can’t even figure out a word to guess, with them where they are. I expect it’ll be obvious once I figure it out but eesh. And spelling bee has too many possible words today. I’ve guessed a bunch and am still only at “nice”!

Today I hit a "there's only one posible word left at guess 3 and still needed to guess 5, so. Spelling Bee I am only at Good

I am boggled at thinking of 4 12-year olds together at a beach house. The potential for mischief and shenanigans seems high!

I did fine on all the puzzles, except for Connections, which was impossible for my brain.

We rarely have all at once, but the current available kid count is a 15 year old girl, four 12 year old boys, two 10 year old girls, individual boys of 10, 7 and 4 (those last two are ND - but increasingly verbal!) and a 5 year old girl.

Its... merry.

They're remarkably good kids - plenty of mischief and shenanigans but nothing ever dangerous.

Soj ddike a fab vacation, Trudy. So glad you could do it.

The biggest source of aggravation for JZ at her job, especially since she had to send out very detailed and concise emails in advance of the case conference (covering all the upcoming surgeries that week) and invariably she'd get replies back asking about things which she had clearly addressed in the email.

Which made her do the Charlie Brown "Aughhh!"

I read that combining blueberries (antioxidants) and walnuts (omega 3) had positive synergistic benefits (good for your brain), and combining oats and Greek yogurt also provided extra benefits, so I put it all together into my daily mug of oat bran.

Fighting biological entropy with nutritional strategies!

I don't want to live forever, but I want to be as functional as possible during my allotted span.

My Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon Pilates kicked my ass and everything is sore.

people not reading emails

I found that two things made this even worse. 1) People using their phones for email tended to skip a lot of text. 2) People who only read the subject lines, and not the bodies of the email.

Soooo many times I was tempted to reply, "You have demonstrated failure of reading comprehension. Try again."
