England #1: The second time’s a charm in The England Chronicles - September 2024
Not talking about the election. Not yet. I changed my FB profile and background pics to black, which says all I want to say right now. Much much more pleasant to write about the England trip! S...
…then come right back home again. Now that we are kind of back to normal in Post Helene world, it’s time to start making !!!England Entries!!! Cleanup seems to have gone very well here, altho...

I will be making a whole bunch of England entries soon – it was an amazing trip!!! Well, it was amazing after we…finally got there. Which involved quite a fraught situation. Everything not only ...
...at least it's been less than two years this time in shiny things
So there IS THAT! I am always planning to write more and get caught up with everyone, and I do not know what happens. This is a really good time to do it, though. At least to SAY I’m going to do ...
Yikes!!! in shiny things
Just....yikes. I have not made an entry in OVER TWO YEARS. Of course it’s not like I was making endless bunches of them before that, but still. I have forgotten how to do everything and just spen...

I keep trying to make an entry, especially after I got so fired up by writing more in the last few weeks than I have in the past year or so, but. I just stare at the blank page and then wander aw...

greetings from Bedlam in shiny things
It is just remarkably difficult getting used to being back on campus again after working remotely since March of 2020. The noise alone is driving me completely over the edge. ( And OMG, as I was ...
how can I possibly catch up? in shiny things
I can’t! But look at me, making two entries in five days! We’re back at work now, waaaaahhhh. It’s not unbearable, but I sure do hate having to get up an hour earlier than I did when working remo...
Edna? Edna who??? in shiny things
I cannot believe I haven’t made an entry in a year and three months. Now I don’t even know where to start!! Amusingly I am sitting in my office for the first time in… a year and four months. So, ...
social isolation survey in shiny things
Swiped from Search Results. Very timely. Well, it was timely when I started it on April 8. Okay, still timely since nothing at all has changed since April 8. Are you an Essential worker? I am no...
Life in Lockdown in shiny things
Well, we aren’t really locked down, although our state - NC- is under a 30-day Stay At Home order as of yesterday at 5:00. This means pretty much what we were already doing, although now gatherin...
At least it's an opportunity to do more writing... in shiny things
Yikes - this just shows how fragile our lifestyle is, I guess, and how quickly we can be catapulted into a bizarre new world of quarantines and social isolation and shortages and rationing etc et...
Yikes in shiny things
It’s got to be a new Prosebox Avoidance Record for me - I haven’t made an entry since October 20. Well, other than one with notes for things to make an entry about. Like “importance of having pho...
Current-ishes in shiny things
I’ve been trying to make an entry for AGES, to no avail - but it’s slow at work, and I’ve got time to do it, so no more avoiding. And as I have a total mishmash of topics, a Currents it is. Well,...
Why yes, I *have* just arrived from the 19th Century in shiny things
Well, maybe mid-20th century, since contact lenses became available to the masses in the 1950s-60s, although Wikipedia tells me that Leonardo da Vinci actually introduced the idea in 1508. His pr...
because apparently only a survey can bestir me... in survey time
… to make an entry. And this is a really really REALLY random survey. I have also cut out approximately 452,640 questions. You’re welcome! Do your jeans have rips, tears, and holes in them? No, a...
Phillip in shiny things
First, thanks for all the kind notes about my dad -it’s still hard to believe, and I keep thinking I need to call him. But three weeks ago we found ourselves with a happy addition to the family, ...
Sad news in shiny things
Ages ago I wrote about my dad having a mild stroke at the end of January, while simultaneously having the flu, then coming down with bronchitis on top of that and being in the Veteran’s Home for ...

Suddenly I have nothing pressing to do, and since I had to take lunch very very early this morning, this day seems endless, so… it’s Current Time! (It’s also DAYS later now, and only two “current...
Let's have early happy hour and a little whine! in shiny things
I am at work, but I am done. Done done done. Done with this day, done with this week, done with last week too. It has just been GRUELING. It’s early registration, so that’s to be expected, but, O...

Massive apologies for clogging up everyone’s Unread Bookmarks with 42,501 entries about a trip to England I took 9 1/2 years ago!!! I am lucky lucky lucky enough to have made three trips since th...
very random survey from marg in survey time
OMG I’m making more than one entry in a six month time frame! This is directly due to being in a massively slow period at work, which is quite unusual. Yes, I do realize work is not for writing/r...

It’s been a very stressful winter as far as our parents are concerned. Mine, Baker B’s, and Kim’s. Baker B’s mom fell for the twenty-zillionth time in mid-January, thought she was okay and wouldn...
Philly trip in shiny things
SO, I wrote this big long entry on Friday about my recent trip to Philadelphia for a work related conference, and by “wrote” I mean I rambled and digressed and went on ten gazillion tangents, as ...
