Things I will miss when the current lock down ends: Long walks with Jeter and the feeling that he finally is getting enough of my attention. Roads with less cars and sidewalks with more people. Eating meals when I’m hungry without regard to time. My comfort with going barefaced. I don’t usually wear very much … Continue reading Miss. Lilly edition.

The later is growing on me with each episode, while the former grabbed me immediately and remains in my thoughts. Of course, I relate to Maeve more than any of the other characters, but, damn, Gillian Anderson’s performance … Continue reading Staycation 2020 – Crazy things I think of and do when I have too much time on my hands

Thoughts I’ve been thinking
It sucks that my knee is injured and I can’t fully do the active things I enjoy doing.
