My husband frequently (and rightfully) reminds me that I too often expect others to go through the same logical process I do in addressing certain situations. Make no mistake – I often make decisions without logic or reason. But for important decisions – such as for whom to vote – I study the issues carefully. …
Shortly before 2:00 p.m. yesterday, one of our great employees at our little country-convenience store let us know that she’d tested positive for COVID-19. She only works for us a day and a half per week, as she has another full-time position, but she’s extremely valued. She reports that she’s feeling okay, although has a …

I’m weary of the memeification of false facts. Memes seem to have taken over Facebook, and to a lesser extent, Twitter. Over the past week, I’ve responded to memes purporting to state “facts” which aren’t true.

Mid-week it started gnawing at me whether the appointment really was Friday (remember, I got the appointment when still in the hospital, on a mixture of percocet & morphine). Glad about the gnaw.

Diane called this morning to say thata. She’s really, probably, surely 99% certain that they will release her today, and,b. She really hopes they do, as she had a rotten night’s sleep.
