It’s the perfect day to find an abandoned cottage in the Scottish Highlands and go off the grid for a few years.

Delivery people really appreciate this! I had one or two people who used to deliver my groceries who expressed appreciation every time and one said my God you’re the only person I’ve seen do this.

Me: I'm hungry. Did I eat my morning round of chocolate almonds, or did I just have a cookie? Me: Surely I ate the almonds. I'm pretty sure I remember that. :::looks around, realizes the bag of almonds is missing from the office because I took it elsewhere and didn't return it::: Me: Okay, then.

So tired, and Mom has been on my last nerve for a lot of the weekend. I can't decide if I'm just worn out or if she's genuinely being more difficult to deal with. 😔

I'm seeing reports of an estimated 11M people out in the streets today. It's historically true that when 3.5% of the population peacefully mobilizes against a tyrannical govt (consistently), the govt can't stay up. 3.5% of the US current population is 11.97M. We gotta keep it up!

I got some news this morning and I think my brain has melted down a little. (To be clear, it seems like good news... just news that comes with lots of change and decisions.)

Friends, did you know that the pneumonia vaccine is now recommended for adults 50 & older? I didn't, but my doctor did. (My left arm isn't thanking me at the moment, but I'm sure my body will appreciate the extra defense.) If you meet the updated criteria, go get vaxxed now!

Made a little more progress today on cleaning out some of the old paperwork in my office. I shredded some and filled up a 5-ream paper box with stuff to shred as I have time. Plus I put together some pocket folders of papers that can be safely discarded next year. Every bit counts, right?

JFC, is it that people *can't* learn, or they *won't* learn? (Honestly, I'm pretty sure I know the answer. :::deep sigh:::)
