Bama, thank you for the reminder to check if my license and health card need to be renewed this year. It's been in the back of my mind to check so that I am not surprised on my birthday.
If I have helped to lift some of the stress off of you, then I am happy.

That was nice, Kittykatt, to come home to a sandwich made by DH, and that Jude behaved so well.
Germane operates under a policy of non-compliance, but her Apoquel pill is tiny, and I have been buying double-cream Brie to wrap around it, to the satisfaction of all. She sort of tolerates my dabbing at her eyes and paws with a warm wet cloth, but still fights me on any attempt to remove knots, so she always walks around looking neglected.

The house has a way of messing itself up while we go about innocently living our lives, L.Ann, and the kitchen is the worst offender.

That's quite a miscalculation on the calorie programme's part, Gma. It's a good thing that you can calculate it yourself.

Bama, you have hit on something that I have been noticing. I read in one of those anti-procrastination things that we burden ourselves with stress by putting things off, because every time we notice the thing that needs to be done, it adds a little more to our burden of worry. The idea being that if we just do it in the first place, we avoid all of that stress. But what I keep finding is that when I do start working on the thing, I notice everything around it, and everything on the way to it and back to the garbage or the supplies that I need, and I come away with so much more self-induced stress and to dos than I started with. In theory, if I always did the thing as soon as I noticed it needed to be done, I could conceivably catch up, but I have my doubts. I am an imaginative person, and I don't think that there's a limit to the to dos that I can dream up.

I’m the same way, Dogged, I keep adding more but it’s all stuff that needs to be done. It’s not like we are creating things to do out of thin air. On my daily walks I keep thinking of more to do and writing it down here or on my calendar. If I don’t think about it, it doesn’t get done but I also don’t stress about it because I’m not thinking about it. Ergo, don’t do it, don’t even think about it and be stress free. Problem solved.
And yes, you’re very appreciated.

I strive to follow your good example to stress-free Nirvana. And I appreciate you too!

Dogged, let’s enjoy Nirvana until that huge snowball of to do’s hits and wakes us up. Or maybe that’s not such a good idea. Don’t listen to me.

Gma, yay adulting. Why was I in such a hurry to grow up?
Yikes on the credit card, that’s scary. There are so many ways to be taken advantage of. Good for your cc company in catching it and helping you stop future possible problems.

I ate supper and piddled awhile. Now I’m off to flip the laundry, clean any messes, let the dogs out, shower, let the dogs in, and see if I’m up for anything else.

I drifted off, Gma. A trip to hobby lobby sounds fun. I love milk glass.
