It's cool you got to spend time with family, even if some of that time was threatened by a decibel-level event. I completely sympathize with your desire to declutter. I have more stuff than you can shake a stick at that didn't actually belong to just my wife or myself throughout the house.
As I understand it, the legal aspects of doing fan fiction only come into effect if you try to make money or some tangible benefit for yourself. You can write whatever for fun. Otherwise, you need to get permission.
JACE Jul 3, 2025 at 3:08pm In response to "Prices"
I live in south-central Missouri, and contrary to what the politicians are claiming, our grocery prices have indeed gone up since the beginning of the year. I shouldn't have to search for the bargain basement price of the off-brand of a specific food that I used to buy, but can't afford now. In our case, WalMart has discontinued carrying many of the higher cost items. My wife does frequent the local Farmer's Market for a few bargains.
We worked in our front yard also today. I pulled weeds around the Crabby-Apple tree, she replanted flowers that we bought a couple of weeks ago. I've learned to enjoy 'watching the grass grow', but more than that, I love watching the bees, butterflies, and once in a while, a Hummingbird flitter around our small garden. Glad you do too!
I watch series from Thailand; but, I need to get out more with the nice weather. 70s and sunny today. I need to cut back on looking at this screen... what am I doing?
I seldom watch US reruns. I was there & then. I don't feel an urge to go back.
I think of it as a game. Some days you make great progress and some days the yard and house fly past you. As they try to sneak ahead, I catch them and warn them to not grow there. Some of them pay attention. The dust bunnies try to hide, but they can be chased out. A broom, vacuum and a hoe are the warrior's weapons.
All I can offer is "good luck" and "best wishes" that the troops stay in line. Maybe little vacations an hour or day at a time. And maybe the weeds and dust will take a short break with you. They're lazy without wind and water. Of course, that means you have to negotiate with Mother Nature.

I marvel at the things I'll be able to tell my grandkids about someday. Life is accelerating - or maybe it just feels that way!
