Day 47: Plague and Pestilence

https://youtu.be/jMLq2hSWpq8 Shower Thoughts: Vehicles today can surf the web, link to your phone, stream music and videos, etc.. but they still can’t perform a simple database lookup to tell you what the check engine light is on for. Good morning. How ya’ doing today? Are you up with the birds like me? If so imagineContinueContinue reading “Day 47: Plague and Pestilence”

Day 45: Secret Socializing

https://youtu.be/sHuLTN49rJw Shower Thoughts: What if Earth is like one of those uncontacted tribes in South America, like the whole Galaxy knows we’re here but they’ve agreed not to contact us until we figure it out for ourselves. For the data geeks: https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/1905790/?fbclid=IwAR1hYTYHDpjAL93dclh3HZ985HDf7WZk99KPuSxFR7_xCsWu2SaPDLe4aD0 Are you experiencing Lockdown Fatigue? I am. Somehow I am exhausted. Everyday livingContinueContinue reading “Day 45: Secret Socializing”

Day 43: Negative

https://youtu.be/KgfNA19BBvg Shower Thoughts: It’s adorable we thought 2016 was a terrible year because about 40 famous people died. People are comparing 2020 to other years. Is this the worst? Maybe. On a global scale, I would have to say “YES.” The economic damage worldwide is like nothing we’ve seen. The extreme pressures on a householdContinueContinue reading “Day 43: Negative”

Day 40: Light at the End of the Tunnel

https://youtu.be/8SILLvxQRrs Shower Thoughts: No other species is watched more while pooping than dogs. Oh my goodness, day 40 has arrived! It’s been 40 days since the official declaration from our governor to Shelter in Place, March 24th. We are in the middle of our 5th week. We learned on Friday, May 1st, the lockdown willContinueContinue reading “Day 40: Light at the End of the Tunnel”

Day 38: Raw Poetry

https://youtu.be/sJ-0XV9SRZU Northwest Washington is experiencing some rain this week. Most of us are well equipped for walking in the rain, but if you can find a sunshine break to get in a mile or more of a walk it is perfect! The monthly poetry discussion group I’ve been apart of since October 2015 is meetingContinueContinue reading “Day 38: Raw Poetry”

Day 36: Writers Life

https://youtu.be/S9tWh5uwQNY Organizing my poetry folder this morning, I found a little day-in-the-life story from October 2018. It is primarily about the way fickle inspiration for a poem or a short story sometimes comes to you, and if you’re not disciplined enough, it flies away, forgotten forever. Thought I would share it today. A poetess friendContinueContinue reading “Day 36: Writers Life”

Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee

https://youtu.be/LKrTGik5wsI Shower Thoughts: An “unlimited minutes per month” phone plan really only gives you 44,640 minutes per month at best. What are some changes to your daily routine since lockdown? Are there additions to your diet? Perhaps you stopped doing something or perhaps started buying some new items? I am eating more immune-building foods. AddingContinueContinue reading “Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee”

Day 34: Where The Sun Don’t Shine

https://youtu.be/hw-EzQ6vE3s Shower Thought: It’s crazy that’s there’s this giant thing in the sky all the time that we’re not supposed to look at. So my friend has a great idea for a COVID-19 cure. It is a rectal suppository of sunlight, UV rays. At last, if marketed, you could buy some for your mother inContinueContinue reading “Day 34: Where The Sun Don’t Shine”

Day 32: TGIF I think…it’s Friday right?

https://youtu.be/XPVvQLjSd00 Shower Thoughts: Last night my friend asked to use a USB port to charge his cigarette, but I was using it to charge my book. The future is stupid. Happy Friday everyone! Oh wait, IS IT Friday? I’m not sure. Let’s see- Traffic looks like a Sunday afternoon, every day feels like a Saturday,ContinueContinue reading “Day 32: TGIF I think…it’s Friday right?”

Day 31: Get Yer Boots On

https://youtu.be/OVrpyItyKlQ Shower thoughts: If someone offered to pay for my food and rent for the next 18 years, I’d do anything they ask of me. But I complained every time I took the trash out while living at my parent’s house. Are you ready to get a little deep today? There is so much informationContinueContinue reading “Day 31: Get Yer Boots On”
