I went to the premiere of a musical event that was inspired by The Lord of the Rings, poet John Keats, and the band Yes. It was as delightfully weird as you’d expect.

Cheers!

Burns Night began with an attitude adjustment hour. I’m doing Dry January, so my Scotch was apple juice. Burns would not approve.

tomorrow is sunday which is a big day for relaxation.

Dog gone it!

I’m kicking off 2026 with pizza for breakfast. Start as you mean to go on.

I think Ian McEwan will forgive my delay in finishing his book.

I’m supposed to be finishing a library book that’s due tomorrow. Instead, I’m watching different bands sing “Throw Your Arms Around Me” on YouTube.

I had never seen it before. We laughed so much!

And no holes!

The thrift store’s clothes were all 50% off today. I bought a cashmere sweater for $3. Happy Black Friday to me!

That looks good! My son says he’s bringing Spotted Cow from Madison. 🐮

Your cats would love me! 😻

The couple who bought this house had us over to watch The Money Pit. Ha! It’s a gorgeous house, and it was fun to explore.

I'm running for precinct committeeperson, so I had to get a bunch of signatures from my neighbors. It was surprisingly hard since most people don't answer their door. I noticed houses with cat food on the porch were the best.

An elaborate fireplace decorated with hand-painted birds.

Our old homes group met at an Eastlake style home from 1883. Isn’t this fireplace beautiful!

Come on then, and remove him.

Nap goals. #SeaLionSunday

Shutdown: The Musical

I’m staying in a hotel in San Diego. There are three TVs in the breakfast room, and they are all off. That’s how bad the news is!

Ha! I think he deserves his own Netflix series.

I met a political candidate with an unusual set of skills. He was a trained assassin in the military, and now he’s a substitute teacher, a pastor, a leader in his NAACP chapter, and an actor.

I'm in a local group for old house fans, and our president is buying this beauty today. I'm so glad because that means I will get to see the improvements! www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

I’m a giver.

*gives you grief*

Bought prewashed mushrooms that claim to be "fresh and clean." I think that's the same slogan my toilet paper brand uses.

Whenever I'm feeling down, I try to remember that Elvis Presley has only been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame one more time than I have.

Sometimes scammers flirt with me on Find a Grave, which is definitely not a dating site. Today I received an especially flattering message: “I must confess your profile picture is beautiful despite it being old …”

The delivery guy leaned it against her garage door. It was almost as big as the garage! 😀

I wore my fall bathrobe this morning! 🤗
