 |    My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum. |
| I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon. |
| Tues. Apr. 7th Prompt. by Fivesixer (653) What is the best thing to come out of staying at home (so far)? Let's see... Me, myself and I have become better acquainted. Sure, sometimes we disagree, but it never results in fisticuffs. We struggle to use our indoor voices, but we tend to be vocally loud. Okay, we're working on the only-one-speaker-at-a-time-thing. Waiting for one of us to spit out an idea and listening without comment is not easy. We tend to be impatient and blurt out our thoughts before the one-in-the-current-spotlight finishes. Yes, we all consider this distracting and even a bit rude. We all wish to be heard. Our self-isolation, #SaferAtHome, quarantine, shelter in place time has been productive. We've collaborated on a few writing projects here at WDC. Myself's typing skills seem to have improved, but more attention to the sensitive 'caps lock' key would help. Me and I groan in frustration if we are forced to back track to ferret out the lack of capitalization. The whatever shrug from myself aggravates the rest of us to no end. Capital letters are important. Me and myself believe I is too self-important. I garners the attention and is always noticed. See, capitalization works! The entire there-is-no-'i'-in-something philosophy doesn't cut it with I. Of course, this does apply to me and myself, go figure. Teamwork is a work in progress. With this just-stay-home movement, we are learning that we need each other. We've discovered 'distractabaking' and meditation, but for obvious safety reasons we do not practise both at the same time. |
