Hello! How are things today? It’s sunny and 8 degrees here. No real heat coming our way anytime soon, but sun is better than rain.
The eyes are coming along nicely. I can read most things without difficulty, and the computer letters aren’t dancing which is good since I have a book deadline this weekend and haven’t finished the edits. Interesting sidebar. There are way more stars visible to me in the sky the last couple of nights. I can see some of the familiar constellations, which is an unexpected bonus. I’m anxious to see how well I’ll see when we go whale-watching in June.
Today’s letter is T. There are many words that start with T. Someone’s already posted on tattoos, a practice I will never understand. Three of my five grandchildren have them, not that I had any say in the matter. To me it’s quite simple.
Other T words include trust and truth, although it seems hard to find much of either of those. I try to have faith that everything with work out as it should in the end, but the painful truth of it is that I’m not as confident about that as I once was. I trust our Prime-Minister, who is level-headed and doesn’t act like a spoiled brat, but I don’t trust the toddler with the nuclear codes and his entourage of sycophants who, like him, do not understand that you can’t discount something by more than 100 percent.
With no other option, I have to believe and trust the timing.
Timing is everything, and lately I feel as if my own timing is out of sync, not by choice, but by everything happening around me. Some things happen when you least expect them–like my cataract surgery. I certainly didn’t expect to have the surgery within two weeks of having my exam with the surgeon, although I’m thrilled with my progress so far.
But other things have happened that seem to steal time from me–or maybe, it’s just that I’m moving slower than I used to, thinking slower than I used to, and responding to change slower than I used to. I need to remember to take care of myself.
Finally, because laughter is as important as music, let me share the most terrifying moment of all.

Love your cartoons, not sure that’s quitev the right word for the flushing crisis.
Left a holiday cottage early last year. Major bathroom refurb too, proudly featured in website photos.

I feel the same way as you about tattoos! If they weren’t permanent and if it didn’t hurt to get one, things might be different.

Temporary tattoos are okay as are henna ones since they aren’t permanent, but even without the pain and the cost and the danger of getting sick, I still wouldn’t consider it.

Had the toilet flushing problem as a guest in a house in England. I searched desperately for a water container, took the flowers out of a vase and used it with several refills to do the deed. Replaced flowers and breathed a sigh of relief. I think I got away with it!

LOL Love it. Very creative solution to a nasty problem.

I loved this post and I have been noticing the constellations, more than normal when we do our morning walks…maybe it’s because of all the “satellites” that are up there…just can’t be sure. Last week we were lucky enough to see Falcon 9 from SpaceX (even got a picture…I may blog about it later). The bumper sticker meme made me grin. There was a time when you would drive up Mount Washington in New Hampshire and while you were in the gift shop someone would put a bumper sticker on your car that said, “this car drove Mount Washington”…(they stopped that back in the 80’s I believe.). I also love the “‘I don’t trust the toddler with the nuclear codes and his entourage of sycophants who, like him, do not understand that you can’t discount something by more than 100 percent.” I couldn’t agree with you more. And yes I would agree that the toilet not flushing would cause a little concern. Jim Croce is awesome
