3 out of 4 is not Optimal Guess what I woke up and did. Go on. Guess. You’ll never guess in a million years. Ok, well, you would probably guess it in that time if all you did was guess. But instead, I will tell you. I…

Third stop on the 50+1 Capitals Tour

More stickers! I was dreaming about putting out the recycling mixed with wanting to schedule press advisories. Fun stuff. I hadn’t put out the recycling last night for the potential of it getting all rained on. I…

Inching Closer in Leaps and Bounfs Starting to really get in travel mode. It’s been a while since I’ve done a major trip. I’ve been to Maine which isn’t that far. And I traveled to Colombia and Panama for a total of two weeks last y…

Coming down to the Wire I am beginning to feel the crunch coming. I will admit that most of the things I am doing are not crucial to my departure. They are, though, good for my peace of mind. Which, to me, is crucial. I h…

Stress is, er, Stressful I try not to stress over things. One of my philosophies is to feel the pain/stress/whatever fully, extremely, wildly and then let it go. Sometimes it takes a few tries at that to have things actual…

RIP Toaster Oven 🥲 Taped closed. Forever? Well, that was an unwelcome surprise. My trusty toaster oven’s door spring broke. The internet suggests it could be fixed if one had the right spring. It involves remov…

Melting Pot Friday! Updated Stickers Graphic Here’s a little something that I would like in Wordpress: When the tags dialogue box pops up, one ought to be able to scroll through one’s blog and see what all…

The US used to be described as a Melting Pot - gusssr.wordpress.com/2026/03/06/m...

ANd I hope it is done in NY and not at a Federal Level, so anyone convicted can't be pardoned by a president. Not a pardon I would grant as president of the US.

Sadly, they will probably disappear mysteriously. I hope not. I hope they testify in open court and that all those jokers get arrested and tried and jailed. But...this is dystopian america, so...

Can I Call My Car A Business Expense now? When I got up and out, the first place I went was Community Proud. They weren’t ready for me, so I came back home, got my laptop, and returned. That way I could do some work while waiting for…

One of those Weird Days I woke up around 8 as I often do. And soon thereafter a text from friend of a friend arrived asking me when I could meet her at our mutual friend’s house to let her in. I didn’t respond…

Write it Out! I am stuck. I am going to clean the fridge in hopes of getting a bit unstuck. That didn’t work. At least the fridge is sort of clean now. I threw away a few things. And set a few things to so…

Fuzzy Day A few seconds in the microwave made this super yummy last night! Got up this morning and my head felt a little fuzzy. So I went back to sleep. I eventually got the day started around 9 in the morni…

Sporadic Organizing is the Way I Roll Early start for me today. I got up before the alarm which makes me happy. I am not a big alarm fan. I had set two of them, one for 7:20 and one for 7:30. I needed to be out by 8 am so that I could …

Wow! I am so angry at Elon and all the jerks who voted for this administration!!!

Better than Yesterday! Maybe I was all out of kilter yesterday because I went to bed so late. I think I hit the hay at around 2:45 am. I probably need to keep moving my sleep schedule earlier. If I remember correctly, th…
