Might this be a solution
I live alone. I have no family close by - a cousin I like in CA, but that’s basically it. I have a few friends - two in NYC, two in CA. I know that in my early 60’s I am probably strong for my ...
If I stay - movie review
I almost never do this: SPOILER ALERTS. Young first love, young first heartbreak. This movie is a TEAR JERKER. Just warning you. He - graduating high school, becoming a professional rock guitar...
another day, another sunburn
Not quite... But yes, the sun is BRIGHT and hot. I am still not adjusted to how long it will take to get to a certain place. Either I'm VERY early, or feeling as if the time will pass before I ...
bright sunny day in Southern CA
First activity - go to the pool. But where are the bathing suits? I found ONE. There had been at least 1/2 dozen. Where are they??? I haven't a clue. At least the one fit... tight, but fit....

A New York kind of day
I stayed home for most of the morning, then went to the post office to mail out a package. I am clearing my extras and sending them on to teachers in need. I went down to the 42nd Street area to...
weird dream
Y'know how nap dreams can be much weirder than night sleep dreams? I just dreamt that I married someone that I do NOT have that type of relationship with. He even came and cleaned up my apartmen...
sending it OUT
According to a teacher's post on facebook, she has NOTHING to start the year with... AND she'd never taught that grade level. She's just coming back from sick leave. So, I'll go to the Post Offi...
YAY Elevator!
I am not getting old, but I am getting older. I have various health issues - minor for sure, but they interfere with walking down and up five flights of stairs carrying bundles. I've been deali...
Macrame?
I have cards of various colors of rattail (that silky string) and another kind of thick string. I also have two rolls of rattail - dark blue, unopened; hot pink, opened.
need beads?
I am figuring after years of not beading, I no longer need to keep my stash of beads and supplies. I have a few each of light ceramic beads: red/pink tones, black and white, purple tones, blue/g...
Watch this space
I am on a serious clear it out, send it away mood/mode. I am offering to all and sundry the items I no longer want/need. They are varied for sure. I'll be posting mostly teaching material, but...
Food: supermarket or restaurant?
I waver between the two. Supermarket is MUCH less expensive. Restaurant(s), a greater selection. Though there's quite a selection at the market also. I go to the market and find NOTHING I am ...
It's time
Every summer I let my fingernails grow... and grow. They are much longer in extension than the nail area that's ON my finger. Some are an inch long! I lifted something up today and one bent ...
So many boxes!
I am sending out my no longer needed teaching material. It started as a posting - who wants stickers?? Got about a dozen takers. Then the discussion: what do you teach? What could you possib...
CVS
I've been told that their regular prices, on a non-sale day, are higher than other stores like them. But then I only go when I have a discount coupon - anywhere from 20% to 30% off everything th...
one small corner - part two
I have a lot of shoes. They're in a cabinet in the bedroom, AND in the two pier cabinets along the sides of the bedwall. And on top of the headboard... and in various other places. I decided t...
clearing out
Earlier today, I posted on a teacher site on facebook, that I had stickers and other material to get rid of... OMG!! I've spent the day packing up sticker, worksheets, workbooks, etc. I sent ou...
One small section
I have lived in this apartment longer than anywhere else in my life - over 25 years! It's a large apartment - my bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom, what was the pets' room until VERY recently, ...
The fluffy movie
The comic, Gabriel Iglesias, had one of his shows filmed and made into a movie. I like his humor - finding what's funny in life - and his ability to mimic sounds, accents, voices. Basically thi...
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
I am one of the rare people who never watched the series the first time it was made. I'd seen pieces here and there, but never in its entirety. So, the ideas are new to me. I saw the first in ...
dilemma
I often eat the same foods at home - over and over. I have a few choices, but basically it's the same. And as many people go to the full closet and say 'there's nothing to wear', I can go to a ...
my comfort zone
Basically it's HOME. Although I live in NYC, and am aware of all the cultural activities, I love being home. I read, I play on the computer... repeat. I love being out, but it's the GETTING ou...
Of Mice and Men
On Broadway with James Franco and Chris O'Dowd. If you know the story, watching the play is like watching the Titanic... you KNOW the ending. Clearly there were people in the audience who did N...
movie buddy
I have a friend I go to the movies with - a movie buddy. Sometimes we go to a museum also, but usually it's just movie and dinner. We've been friends over 10 years now. For one reason or anoth...
