Making the best of neccessity is an art, not a craft, and takes attitude.

A mid-twenties guy behind me in line in the grocery store adressed me as 'Miss' when asking a question today.
I stayed polite. But I'm about 30 years older than anyone normally called that. 'Ma'am' maybe? I do answer to 'Excuse me?' too.
Still sniggering slightly
In a weak moment I promised cinnamon rolls for the monsters' school classes.
Better make more coffee, I'll be stuck here all afternoon https://octodon.social/media/hb5uxWz3ZRdkCrVO9SU
I just got a new stereo in my Jeep, in case you hear a doppler shifted Jimi Hendrix go screaming past.
I always think swans are graceful. Then I see one flying in for a landing. https://octodon.social/media/GY8Fu3vSQCqrUuppwT8
I am an #atheist. I have been for most of my adult life. I grew up in the church, the son of a pastor.
When tragedies strike, I'm critical of the people who will say "OH NO! #thoughtsandprayers"! and then do jack shit else.
As @Stonekettle has repeatedly said: IF you want a better country, be a better citizen.
That's my mantra now. I want our country to be better. I want our world to be better. Now is the time. Now is the place. It's time to talk #guncontrol.
Ok, some people collect weird stuff, like antique pipes, vintage cars and stray cats. I just have books & art magnetism, no idea how it works.
Anyway, today I spotted 3 new pieces of my beloved china, in a new pattern too. And here I was pacing myself, lusting after early medieval glass reproductions for next year.
My daughter was robbed/mobbed when switching buses after school. She's fine, but madder than an affronted beehive. Didn't yell at her, just made sure she learned from it.
Alredy braved ikea, an attempted brake-in, getting soaked in 50F rain&wind gardening and feeling like crap warmed over before this.
Postponed 2 phone calls that will cause The Gnashing of Teeth until tomorrow

I am really trying to understand. Help me out here. How will dedicating a golf trophy help the people of Puerto Rico?
You know, doesn't it seem like the disaster in Puerto Rico would be the perfect opportunity for this so-called president to make at least part of America "great again?"
New infrastructure. Efficient, robust, sustainable energy grid, transportation, and communications systems. Etc.
Done right, Puerto Rico could not only recover, but become a model for the world.
Got distracted by reading. The yello turned into strawberry sauce (still yummy) and the potatoes are better described as "glop."
Poetry was good btw.
Bought a couple of unknown poetry books for the shelf. Does that count as mentally daring?
Autumn is the season for crafts in this house, just like spring calls for fixing and workouts. Just the flow of the seasons.
Sewing, planning a quilt, tried watercolours first time since forever, building a chest of drawers and an artsy bookshelf. Monthly concerts and a weekly night class.
Work pays bills. Creativity makes you stay alive.
Random waterfall in the hopes that it makes someone smile. Because who doesn't love a nice waterfall? https://octodon.social/media/bqZegz4d8mrM7IBcs5s
Going to bribe the monsters w fullscale brunch tomorrow, including fresh homemade scones and choice of omelettes.
Of course, that will make them suspect I intend put them to work on the chores they skipped today.
Child labor ftw!
Found my red glasses right away so ended up digging.
And planting.
And dragging rocks and sacks of fertilizer.
About halfway through my lower back founded a workers' collective and started picketing me, with bullhorns & vuvuzelas.
I struck a deal: easy chores the rest of the day and a long hot soak, and we'll finish tomorrow.
Having tea and reading about prehistoric warfare I can hear the back muscles grumble faintly.
trump, puerto rico Show more
Victim blaming 101, Puerto Rico isn't doing enough for itself. This after claiming "WE" can't help because "THEY" are too hard to get to since they are surrounded by lots of water,
Feeding the garden birdies. 10 kilo suet&insect pellets with another bag stored on the porch.
It's because there's a very beautiful and hungry hawk living in the park one street over, and it needs the drive in restaurant. https://octodon.social/media/pinX6Tydg1f87073iug
