Things I learned today… My soul rejoices when I walk into the salon, and I happen to have been scheduled on the same day as this certain little, old lady with her friend. She has ZERO filter and is a riot, and the friend tries but can’t reason with her. They are hilarious. Discrimination againstContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 22, 2021”

Things I learned today… The taste of your usual sushi roll depends on the maker that day. I am amused (and aware!) when a doctor mentions medications and immunizations IMMEDIATELY without one, single mention of maintaining one’s physical, mental, and emotional health, eating habits, sleeping habits, exercise habits, and the ability to boost our maintainContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, July 21, 2021”

Things I learned today… Brady told me she doesn’t like puns. How do you not like a good pun? I haven’t done anything wrong. I wrestle with this periodically, believe it or not, about the least little things. I take responsibility for things I shouldn’t, or I blame myself for things. If a person getsContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, July 20, 2021”

Things I learned today… I really enjoyed my morning. I planned it…and it worked. Now here’s hoping I’m not miserably sleepy tomorrow and can do it again. I started a new book…All The Light We Cannot See. So far, beautiful. We can spot a good mama when she walks through the studio door, and itContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Monday, July 19, 2021”

Things I learned today… We will go to great lengths to avoid trying to cross back over the bridge at Memphis. We were in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, then Mississippi today. I love the Mississippi River, and we got to cross it at Cairo and Caruthersville. South Central Illinois is not particularly scenic. Just cornfields. IContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Sunday, July 18, 2021”

Things I learned today… Everybody should have the opportunity to go different places, see things, and get on with new people. I took a nap today! A nap! Unpopular Opinion: Calling a pet a “fur baby” just sounds…I don’t know… some kind of way. I cringe every time. Fur. Baby. (*blech*) Went to a majorContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, July 17, 2021”

Things I learned today…(midnight edition) Even when I feel like staying home…go! We left the house on an absolute whim, and now I’m in a suite in St. Louis overlooking the plaza and Busch Stadium. What an experience! The fuss over the “throwed rolls” at Lambert’s in Sikeston, Missouri, is legit. Best rolls ever. WhyContinue reading “This I Learned Today / Friday,  July 16, 2021”

Things I learned today… I didn’t have a day today, today had me. The Queen Mother of Migraines decided to visit at 5:39 am. I finally had the wherewithal to open my eyes at 10:45 am, after much gnashing of teeth, 2 rounds of medicine, and many struggles. I think everybody should get therapy. WeContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 15, 2021”
