I should be reading during this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
I've been thinking recently about doing a lot of stuff that involves finishing things I started but haven't finished, i.e. W.I.P.'s, organizing my large collection of photos and albums into something that makes sense, clearing out the basement, etc., etc ( Read more... ) -
traveling during the pandemic is not all fun and games
We considered ourselves to be fairly lucky so far during this epidemic. My husband and I are both retired, on pensions, and are not at all concerned about being in self-isolation for the duration. Our grandson/ward Sean, who lives with us, is taking it in stride. He's 17 but a fairly quiet kid. He's not into girls or romance yet (thank goodness ( Read more... ) -

this & that
I don't know why I always promise to be on LJ more often when I should know by now that it's pretty much impossible to pin down any time.

UPDATE
A quick update on things.
I've been busy for a number of reasons. Mostly, it's worrying about and taking care of my husband, who is clearly having cognitive problems and may be in the early stages of dementia. It's been really up & down with him and uses up most of my time.
Another thing is that my daughter has sold her house and will be moving ( Read more... ) -
B2MEM cards
I haven't gotten anything near ready to post yet, but I did come up with two story ideas right off the bat. I collected quite a few prompts which I'm listing here so I can keep them organized in case I want to write about anything else. I don't think I'd be anywhere near achieving Bingo yet in any case ( Read more... )
