There was an article in the newspaper my mom gets delivered that she cut out for me to read. Its title is: The dilemma of full bladders, closed restrooms. 😶 Continue reading “The lack of public restrooms during pandemics”
I said yes
To dog sitting. 😉
The numerical values of time, and what to do with it
I am not a numbers person. I have never been much of a math person. But today, I was inspired by some numbers.
The internet calculates things for us confused folk, hence, it was easy to lift the numerical values off the screen. All I have to do now is supplement them with my crafty words.
That is my jam, as you know. Words, not numbers.
So here goes. Continue reading “The numerical values of time, and what to do with it”
Masked shopping: a new experience and some reflection
Toronto began a mandatory face-covering (mask) by-law on July 7, 2020 for all indoor places. Here’s the pdf: BY-LAW 541-2020
Anyway, I hate masks in public if there is a chance of having to communicate with someone. But I wear my mask and have been even before it became a by-law because I don’t want your cooties on me. 🙄 AND, I don’t want to pass them on to someone who is compromised.
I got used to wearing the masks, but I rarely go out and when I do, it’s the same old places I’ve been to many times before. I know what to expect there.
But today, I went to a bulk food store and only because mom said you no longer have to have an employee with you to scoop your product. You can scoop your own product now, like before covid.
So I went. But I knew immediately that it wasn’t going to be easy.

The drama strikes again (but just for a little while)
Every single word I typed had me second guessing yesterday. It was so bad that both major WIPs I worked on I’ve left in draft form.
Nothing got sent. Nothing got finalized. Not even my flash fiction or contest pieces.
Nothing happened, and it took all day. Boo.
I am struggling.

Edging closer to the covid-abyss
Every night I look at the global covid maps. I want to see how other places are doing with reopening and easing of restrictions.
I leave America last. Sometimes I skip it all together. Sorry, it’s not you, dear readers, it’s your dear leader…😳 Continue reading “Edging closer to the covid-abyss”
Loosing it :)
I couldn’t find the pot holders today. Continue reading “Loosing it :)”
A nail, a hammer, and a bike ride
So. I have bad news about some pieces I submitted. But, that’s ok. I’m going to get myself a long nail and a hammer, so I can start a collection of rejections. Like Stephen King did. He mentioned this in his book On Writing.
So far, 2 of my stories I wrote recently were declined, the other 5 still being reviewed, and the rest ongoing.
Wonder what mom would think if I started hammering nails into walls in her house… 😵 Continue reading “A nail, a hammer, and a bike ride”
Online reviews: are they useful, and do you use them?
Yesterday when the menfolk came to visit us girls at my mom’s place, we got into a conversation about online reviews.
Do you read reviews? Continue reading “Online reviews: are they useful, and do you use them?”
Friday evening update: life and death and baseball
When they use words like ‘heat dome’ to describe the current weather you know tempers will flare out in public.
Good thing I don’t like the public. 😀 Continue reading “Friday evening update: life and death and baseball”
