You might have two thoughts… wow, you’re kind of old. And, wow, you’re kind of boring. Both thoughts would be accurate. I am barely capable in things like Wii sports, Mario Jamboree, and Minecraft.
A picture of the four video games that reflect me. All on a black background, and all screenshot and plunked on a photo app to do this. Top left, Atari Tennis. Top right, Oregon Trail (played on a school Apple computer with a floppy disc). Bottom right, solitaire that came with the Microsoft software then. And bottom right, Wordle.

Hello all, you made it to the first Monday in February of 2025. Even if it was accidental, or despite trying or hoping otherwise. I’m glad you’re here. Raising my mug of coffee to whatever is in your hand.
I’m rooting for you.
Bleary-eyed & desperate for a nap, but I’m rooting for you.
In the foreground, my hand is holding my cream-colored coffee mug with a bee embossed on it. In it, my coffee with cream. It’s over the gray sofa cushion next to me. And next to it, my derpy weighted emotional support stuffed otter that I named Clive. Clive and I are rooting for you.

I turned the corner at Michael’s today and wondered what the heck happened between these two.
Two decorative ceramic birds are perched on a branch, and one is missing its beak, the other seems to be staring into the chipped hole where the beak used to be.

Dear #booksky, I read a book this last week. And I’m about to start another. Not sure this has happened to me in years. Thanks for being a good influence.

What did I read? My writer pal- Lyn Liao Butler’s SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE.

I’m starting out with the teetering TBR in my room.
Cover of Lyn Liao Butler’s SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE. Black background, Asian woman’s profile, she’s got her hair pulled back, red lipstick, black tank top or dress. Birds of paradise flowers are in front of the woman & one covers her eyes. Besides the title & author, it says Thriller.

The sun came out so I took a picture for you
A rare sun-sighting this late January day in northern Indiana. There’s a bright blue sky behind a tiny golden orb, barely visible above empty dark tree branches.

The vibes I bring to the function.

A golden lab looks at the camera with a contented, eager grin. Looks like it’s waiting to play. Background is blurred, but there are black plastic chairs and a table. Carpet is a plush tan one. Doggo is the rightful focus.

Welp. It happened, on my phone anyway. Oof.
