Let’s play…

You may have to think for a moment but it (probably) won’t hurt.

Here’s what makes me see red –

I’m cooking, carefully following a recipe and laying out all my ingredients… only to discover that the 12 ounce can/bag/box of whatever I need is now 10 ounces due to shrinkflation and I need to make another run to the grocery store to pick up another full can/bag/box of whatever it is I need to get that missing 2 ounces.

Grrr.

Pay more/get less drives me insane. Add the damn .40 cents to the price and give me a full portion of the product so I don’t have to buy 2 and end up wasting most of the second.

.

.

😡

Okay, that’s my kitchen rager. How about you?

What makes you crazy in the kitchen.

You know you want to.

I have to admit I expected better of myself.

Our house is filled with quirky, bizarre, WTH is that? items.

They clutter our basement, our garage, our barn, our sheds and two embarrassing (close them quickly!) closets.

But when I pulled out the actual junk drawer in the kitchen for inspection?

.

.

It was disappointingly run of the mill.

.

.

A CO2 canister size list, some cut flower life extending powder, a water pistol, a dice game, a Marine Corps challenge coin, a spare hummingbird feeder cover, a feline medicine syringe and a wine cork.

Nothing bizarre. Nothing quirky.

How boring.

🥺

Your turn…

Dazzle me with your weird drawer contents.

Another first for me.

I started playing Wordle when it first came out in ‘21 … and then stopped.

But I added the NYT app to my phone a few months ago and have picked it back up as a daily habit.

I’m good, and have a 100% solve rate… but I’ve never solved it in just one guess.

Until this morning.

Because it’s better than eating kale.

Here are mine.

While reading The Life Impossible, which is set in Ibiza Spain, I read a chapter about a massive nightclub called Ku… think Studio 54 on steroids. It said Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé filmed the video for Barcelona there so I had to check veracity.

.

.

It’s true.

.

.

Poor Freddie, gone too soon.

Next was a search about the benefits of glucosamine chondroitin.

.

.

I’ve tried everything else for my knee pain, I figure it can’t hurt.

Search #3 was for the Say Hey kid.

.

.

Being a baseball (and baseball history) lover, I just watched an HBO documentary on this amazing athlete and needed a few more facts.

Lifetime batting average? 302.

❤️

Your turn.

Last three searches… go!

Because you’re already here. What else is there to do….

My twenties were awesome.

My thirties rocked.

My forties were blissfully happy.

Things started to go downhill physically in my fifties when I went from a perfectly healthy woman who had never been in the hospital (and still had all her original parts, including tonsils, appendix and wisdom teeth) to a menopausal shell of my former self, drenched in hot flash sweat with achy joints, a bum knee, 35 extra pounds and bunions.

So yeah.

Any age before 50 is alright with me.

How about you?

What age do you want to stay…

Because your brain needs a work out every now and then.

I figure I would have lasted about an hour and a half, and only if I didn’t leave the cave.

I’m a lot of things, but a survivalist isn’t one of them.

I don’t camp. ( nowhere to plug in my blow dryer )

I can’t make fire. ( without a lighter )

I don’t fish and I don’t hunt. ( unless it’s down a grocery aisle )

Hell, I can’t even tell a good mushroom from a poisonous one. ( though in the late 70’s I discovered a different kind of good ‘shroom 😉 )

Yup, an hour and a half sounds about right.

How about you?

What’s your prehistoric survival time limit…

No snarky comments necessary, I’m aware humans and dinosaurs didn’t co exist.

Or did they…?

.

Because it will make me happy, and I know you live for that.

My morning starts like this:

Up between 5:00 and 5:30am.

Feed cat. Feed birds. Feed woodchuck.

Cup of tea.

Quick check of online news, email and social media.

Then, my new obsession. The New York Times game app.

.

.

I used to do Wordle when it first came out, but not with any regularity. But since I discovered the free app?

.

.

These brain teasers are how I start my day.

(Except for the Sudoku. I’ve always hated math.)

More games are available if you purchase the full version, but these are enough for me.

So…

How do you start your day?
