Someday I will be able to make a granny square, but it is not this day.

This is my bed now, Mom. You can find somewhere else to sleep.

Yes, I did it. No, I will not tell you which scraggly-assed horse is mine.

Month of Letters, Day 7 #LetterMo

As expected, my mother was very bothered that Bad Bunny performed entirely in Spanish. She thinks he should have done something in English. (Guess she missed Lady Gaga.)

THIS

Flipping back and forth between the Puppy Bowl and the Olympics. Someone please let me know when it’s Bad Bunny time.

It is below 30°F. The ground still has large patches of snow and ice. Someone in my subdivision is barbecuing. That is dedication.

I’m GenX. I also have hearing loss. I will not hear chunks of what you say. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO READ.

Welp, that got out of hand. **deletes post**

On the menu for tonight:

Man, I cannot math today. 🤦‍♀️ I can do items 4 and 5 while doing item 6!

Today’s to do list: ✅ Get tax paperwork in order 🔲 One load of laundry 🔲 Meal prep 🔲 Write to my pen pal in Sweden 🔲 Finish the blanket I’m crocheting 🔲 PUPPY BOWL 🐶 Thankfully, I can do items 3 and 4 while doing item 5.

Ozzie seems to have forgotten how beds work.

Clocking out for a tech sabbath. See you all in 24 hours!

Ozzie and I are thrilled to announce that we were finally able to walk the whole subdivision!

I just found out that my co-worker’s nephew is playing in the Super Bowl!!!

I hate this. Mass market paperbacks are my favorite reading format.

Month of Letters, Day 5 #LetterMo

Another day of aggravation, so I am escaping into a rewatch of Primeval. See y’all tomorrow!

Editor folks: Thoughts on the value of EFA and/or ACES membership?

A Month of Letters, Day 4 #LetterMo

I am. Every single day.

Down to his last penny, Jason “J.D.” Donovan makes a deal that saves his life but inadvertently puts his friends and family in danger. Can he save them without sacrificing himself? A horror novella in the tradition of “The Twilight Zone” and Stephen King www.ilenegoldman.com/books #Booksky 📚💙 🩸📚

Ozzie alternates between 1 and 2. (His job is telling me where to go.)

Someday I will finish work without needing to scrawl many pages of venting in my journal, but today is not that day.

Well, this sucks.

I loved this book. If you haven’t read it, check it out!

When the Christian Bible is used to justify government policy, the First Amendment freedom of religion is dead.

"We live on the street. We have our own rules, our own community. To most people, especially people like that rich bastard Kingston, that makes us criminals. Outlaws. It don't matter what the law books say." #BookSky 💙📚 📚💙 www.ilenegoldman.com/books

If you’re missing an 8 of spades from your card deck, I found it!

Introduce yourself with the name your parents ALMOST gave you. Hi, I’m Isaac. (My parents were expecting a boy.) The dog here is Alfie. He is available for adoption from @youngatheartpets.bsky.social in Woodstock, IL.

Give me an iconic #StarTrek image.

If you see this, post a character that starts with A.

If you’d like some happy snail mail, let me know! Just drop your address in my DMs. I promise I will lose it as soon as the mail is sent.

My 30 min meeting lasted almost 2 hours. If you need me, I will have my face buried in this cookie.

A Month of Letters, Day 1 #lettermo

Ozzie and I are thrilled to announce that we were able to walk around the entire block! We haven’t been able to do that for weeks. IT FELT SO GOOD!!!
