7 year old grandson spent forever at his school's Grandparents' Day/Book Fair adding things up and trying to keep his purchases under $20. Then grandma spoiled it all by buying him the extra book he had his eye on but couldn't afford. Hey, that's what grandmas are for. 😇

I have to do both grocery shopping AND laundry today, like some kind of indentured servant.

Mad at my "smart" thermostat. Listen, Nest. If I wanted somebody to sneakily turn the temperature down a couple of degrees to help me save energy, I'd get married.

I'm going to give up soda. I'm giving it up kicking and screaming, but I'm giving it up.

Thanks for letting us know. I had breakfast in some Godforsaken restaurant in the Fr. Lauderdale airport. Not ideal but, like all travelers, I was desperate.

I don't think you people realize how hard it is for me to have to put up with me every single day.

Many years ago they had lay people helping with this (I know, I know) and I was a teacher and they asked me to do it. After saying that prayer about 10 times I was so over it, but the line went on and on. I don't know how you guys do it.

A friend at Mass told me she thought my latest book was the best of the three. Always nice to start the day with an ego boost. 😊

I see all these teenaged boys wearing sweat pants and sweatshirts to Mass, but when I show up in my pajamas everybody gets all judgy.

Pick up the nearest book, turn to page 42, and post the second sentence.
"It saddened him and he suddenly felt protective of Luke, the boy everybody expected to be the instigator."

I've been binge watching The Pitt (late to the party) and now I'm all caught up and that is very sad.

Cheer up. In 35 or 40 more years you won't have to serve anymore.
