When I flipped open my laptop, nothing happened: the screen was black
I thought, "Oh no, not again!"
I really don't want to have to buy a new one. So I pushed buttons and flipped toggles and nothing. Then I...

Got up at 7 to pee, then just stood there in the washroom with that little loading symbol spinning in my brain, and spinning, and spinning, so I went back to bed to reboot...
It's 4°C/40°F and mostly cloudy, though the sun is...

How did we wake up to our worst nightmare?
I don't believe it.
Someone please tell me it's April Fool's Day.

...to be this early in the day. I've been up for hours and it's only 10am.
Did you have a good sleep? Or are you as messed up about time as I am? Heck, I keep thinking it's yesterday (Saturday) because I didn't do my usual...

This morning, Nov. 2 at 7:10am, I heard my first Christmas commercial... and it was repeated about 20 minutes later... and this is on a radio station that plays only 4 minutes of commercial an hour.
Went to Dollarama tonight and...

Six what?
Six trick or treaters last night... Mario and Spiderman, Wednesday Adams, and three young teens not sure what they were.
There doesn't seem to be very many kids in my area, even though the elementary school isn't too far...

There seems to be a psychedelic light show going on in front of my right eye. It's like a kaleidascope but only white, no colors. And now that I've told you about it, it seems to be slowing down and fading.
I think I'll go lie...

The green string beans are still producing. I picked 23 of 'em but only 2 yellow wax beans. Guess I'm gonna have beans for dinner today. And some pasta. Maybe I'll dump a can of tomato soup on everything and pretend it's a gourmet...

I couldn't sleep last night (restless legs) so I got up and made a pot of soup using the last of my beans, and tomatoes (still have some to use up) and a potato and some carrots from my garden. By the time I finished putting it...

As I was putting out the recycling this morningI looked up to the end of the street and saw the most beautiful sunrise... all rosy pinks and purples, stratus clouds at the bottom and fluffy cumulus higher up. That's where the...

Yes, it's a day that doesn't mean too much anymore to a lot of people who don't have family around them. When my mother was alive, my sibs and inlaws would get together for turkey, usually on the Sunday instead of the designated...

But every so often I try to repost something that has already been posted, and I get yelled at by their artificial intentions* and they won't let me post it. I'm getting tired of this. I'm going to try to share a screenshot of it...

About 10 pm last nigjt, I heard a strange noise. Well not so strange, I thought it was a big ol' jetliner doing a flypast. But it kept going. So I went over to the heat vent, and sure enough, the furnace had kicked on. First time...

I was waiting for it to get a bit warmer today before going out and doing more yard work...
It went up from 14°C to 16°C (still not warm enough for my liking) and the sun was shining on the area in which I wanted to work. So about...

Apparently, the position of your arm when having your blood pressure taken can give different readings. The study tested three positions: arm resting on the table, arm resting in one's lap, and arm dangling down (which gave the...

The 'poop rule' to decluttering?
Basically, you ask yourself "If this had poop on it, would I wash it or throw it away?"
I guess it depends on what it is and how many dirty diapers you've washed in your life and how OCD you are.

As I woke up this morning (sleeping on my side) I saw... a face in profile. It was my pink sheet scrunched up in such a way as it looked like someone with a big nose and fat lip. Even a bit of the cover was peeking up in the area...

You know you have one, or even a pack of 'em, but can you find it (them) when you want? Not on your life. But you keep looking where you've looked before until after half an hour you've reconciled yourself to having to go out and...

It rained today...
Boy! Did it rain! Thunder and lightning and sheets of rain, so dark I lit a candle. The rain was hitting the shed roof so hard that it (the rain) bounced back up two feet.
And then, just after four, someone...
