No. Nobody reacted to a single thing I posted on my work page.

Ordered a senior item off a menu for the first time today and realized I could have been doing that for three years now. I feel… old.

The algorithms seemed to have worked. I’ve trained them to turn off news posts. Then today, when I do want news posts, I can’t find any.

Just as I was starting to feel obese, a random stranger walked up to me and said, “I admire you for not being obese.”
Now I’m like 🤷♀️ in so many ways.

Every now and then, you find a hair stylist who doesn’t prattle on with small talk and inane conversation and just focuses on doing your hair.
Them there’s a keeper.

I was feeling dumpy and dowdy before my walk today. A neighbor a few streets down was walking her dog.
She stopped to chat. “I admire your diligence.”
I gave her a gracious nod. “I wish I were more diligent.”
“Well, you look great. You look really fit.”

I went to give blood today as a new Lent thing. Now that I’m menopausal, my hemoglobin can withstand a withdrawal.
However, my vein blew and they couldn’t get any. This happened back in college, too. I have tiny vessels.
I guess this form of making the world a better place isn’t meant for me.
