works for me, except mine needs to be "very tired *and impatient*"
I’m going to make a bumper sticker that’s the inverse colors of the “student driver, please be patient” stickers that everybody has these days and it’s going to say “old driver, very tired, be kind as this will be you someday.”

I praise the fall: it is the human season.
🍂🍁
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

One of the worst of many corrupt "elites," Felon47, the American President, is currently imitating a drunken rhinoceros — flailing & stumbling around the world stage, goring anybody in his path, threatening to bring the whole theater down with him when he finally collapses.

This is about the overworking that occurs both in writing and in this case baking. My emotions, the frustration sometimes spills over into my creative efforts. I need to learn when to pause.
