Here are words I like to write All day long 'til it is night. Words go up and words go down When complete approve the sound. If you complete my little rhyme, Things will come your way in time. |
Wednesday February 7, 2024 9:45 pm I am tired of writing. I have a couple of medical issues. Cataracts and a bum knee. The vision thing is a real problem when writing. I am waiting to see when surgery can be set up. |
Tuesday January 30, 2024 2:30 am Again I am up when I should be asleep. I actually started dozing off at 9 pm. Then my grandson came in to say his mom was going to the doctor. I went to check on her. She will call the doctor in the morning. That poor girl has the worst luck with her health. She was going to take me to an eye appointment then over to my best friend's house but now that is in doubt. That is why I don't like to plan things in advance. Things work out much better for me if they are on the spur of the moment. All of this has been scheduled for a week. I will be disappointed if I don't get to visit with my best friend. I am giving her a brand new laptop for her birthday. I have it to take to her along with the SIM card to set her phone number up on my previous iPhone which I am giving her because her very old cell phone is not working and she can't afford to buy a new one. She has never had a laptop. She has no clue how to use one. My daughter was going to set up the laptop and show her how to use it tomorrow. I have been making dates to go there for the last two months at least and did get over there once only to find out the card I purchased was the wrong one. We shall see how things go. |
Monday January 29, 2024 10:30 am My knee is killing me. I have some Zostrix on it. Hope it relieves the pain soon. When I am in pain, I don't do anything as well as I could. I was following the guidelines to find out what badges a person needed. I followed the directions from a recent post in the newsfeed. Of course, step 1 did not bring the results the info said it would. If I did not like doing what I do here, I would really want to just quit. I don't need the additional stress in my life. |
Sunday January 28, 2024 9:00 pm I did not get anything done that I planned to. I did nap on and off. I watched the football games to decide who goes to the Super Bowl. We had simple biscuits and gravy for dinner. I like it when we have breakfast for dinner sometimes. Tomorrow is another day. |
Today's blog entry I wrote at another social media site. I have left Open Diary which is a huge change for me. I started writing there in December 1999. It has been steady writing except for the site closing in 2014 and me not knowing it had reopened until 2020. My main site now is writing.com and the reason for that is huge: Writing is the main focus. Reading and reviewing other people’s work is rewarding for me. I am proud to have won a contest there a couple of days ago. There was a day of doing as many story reviews. I did five which I thought was a very small number. From the congratulations memo I was sent, they were looking for quality, not quantity. That is one of my major mantras. If you are going to do something, do it in excellence. I won some gift points I can use to buy some special decorations for my portfolio plus a merit badge which is a sought after item. Since it is a winter event, the merit badge has a snow princess on it. Quite cute. I do have a blog there with a pretty good record of daily entries. My diaries/blogs are made up more with interesting stuff rather than moaning and groaning about my life or recording daily activities which I believe was the original intent of a diary. I prefer to put in stuff that interests me. At Open Diary I liked to do research on things I was interested in. I also kept a record of the cool things/phrases people wrote. I will try to be more faithful here. I have more than one and less than ten friends here. Even if there was only one besides me, I would continue to write here. Hopefully it will be better stuff than in my previous entries. To you who follow me, thank you for reading. I read your entries and try to note them, time permitting. |
Friday January 26, 2024 6:50 pm My youngest grandson was honored by having his avatar and character name inserted into an online game update today. He followed the game creator into the game. He has big dreams of being an influencer online. He is doing well at 11 years old. I was having spaghetti tonight from the Olive Garden Restaurant. I had eaten about half of it when I was called away to another room. That sneaky dog of ours smelled it and while I was out of the room joined the clean plate club eating all of my spaghetti with meat sauce. The bread stick is also gone. I was so excited to win with TJ the SuperPower Reviewers raid yesterday. Reviewing is my favorite thing to do. Reviewing is the category of my Quills nomination. It is now recorded in my Treasure Chest folder. Finally, a huge thank you to Joy for the Awardicon on my blog. I was so surprised and happy to receive it. Thank you Joy. |
