Productive
I’ve been productive in every aspect of my life for the past several days.

Letting go of control: dishwasher
Let me start by saying this:

Late afternoon walk
Yesterday my mom treated me to ice cream.

A tribute to blogger friendships
When I first started blogging, my now-16-year-old son was a baby. I’m on my third blog (and I have a fourth one in which I publish erotic fiction), so I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to WordPress. Ha.
So it won’t be anyone’s surprise that I have made a few friends along the way.

It never ends…
I’m staying at my mom’s for the duration of the deck construction back at my house. This time, I took the little troublemaker Beagle puppy and teen girl with me – there is no fence to contain Tucker while they’re building the deck, and the girl needed a change of scenery.
While at mom’s I’ve enjoyed an increase in productivity. I’ve been doing all the stuff I’ve been meaning to, and Getting. Things. Done.
And then, I got a text from home.

Sleeping arrangements, puppy drama and other mayhem
I’m trying to get my oompf back to write, come up with a subtitle for my second ebook, finish editing, and it’s not working.
So blogging it is. At least my fingers are typing.
I’m typing this at my mom’s house. I arrived here with girl and dog in tow shortly before lunch.
Summer so far: lifted restrictions, new hobbies and a little update
This is the first summer in which neither kid is playing baseball. They both started with t-ball at age 4… They are now 13 and a half and 16.
Because we are still in the slowly emerging opening up of lockdown (stage 2 with stage 3 happening in a week) not much activity is available for them. My son picked up golf and is looking for a part-time job, but my daughter is in that tricky age where she’s too young to get a job and there aren’t too many options available right now for volunteering and other things.
So summer so far is looking very similar to the last 16 months of lockdown… Kids staring at screens.

Silence, music and The Purge
What is this silence people speak of? What does it feel like?
There’s a lot of noise in my life and in my head.

A quick update and some questions for you
I have two half-posts ready for Tarot Tuesdays but they sound odd. They are not ready to publish. I may skip this week and get back to my scheduled Tuesday series next week.
I also have another post almost ready where I complain about a comment Penny made on The Big Bang Theory. It hit a nerve. Allow me to give you a glimpse: old people are ugly.
Ya… no. I’m not in the right mood to address this comment today. 😛
AND, I have a lovely photo post almost ready to publish describing my first venture out to lunch at an outdoor patio. That happened last week when I spent six days with mom in the suburbs. On a whim, we decided to go to the old part of town and have pizza. They renovated the entire downtown along the Lakeshore, and it was really cute to go wander around and find a place to have lunch after the excruciating 16+ months of being locked up like inmates.

Explaining the skunk drama
I had to sit out here and guard this from stinky puppy who still has a lingering skunk smell despite having had two baths and still isn’t allowed in the house:
