@RiuHoteles your NYC Times Square location is currently an accessibility nightmare. I have been waiting for 30 minutes for an elevator. I cannot take the stairs. And I cannot stand all day.
I would very much like to get out

Every 24 hour period between Christmas and New Years should just be called Blurrsday since they all seem the same.

I have so much loose tea that I’m having a pot a day.Welcome to my nightly tea report:
Today’s tea is green chai. I sweetened it with some agave. I always feel like I’m using too much but still not enough.
Anyone having tea tonight?

Best think about location tracking my adult children is seeing if they’ve left the store they’re in so they can grab something I forgot to tell them I wanted before they left the house.

Growing up poor. It has made me grateful for every thing I have and made me innovative and resourceful.
Thanksgiving challenge! What’s something that you never thought you’d be grateful for but today you are?
Me: Being an alcoholic. Other people can get through life without ever perusing spiritual growth. I have to, or I may drink again. It’s not an easy journey but it has so many gifts.

I guess we are playing against the Chargers and the refs.
Being a Baltimore Ravens fan is not for the faint at heart. Although, we earned that last flag.

I am reading a book right now and I found myself waiting for something to happen. I’m on chapter 6. Something should have already happened.
Thanks @barnesandnoble.bsky.social I needed to hear that today.

Since the election, in the spirit of finding joy, I realized that there are foods that I enjoy but don’t buy.
I remedied that by buying a box of Uncrustables with grape jelly. This doesn’t need to happen all the time but it definitely needs to happen more often.

We got 5 snowflakes in Fort Washington before it turned to rain.
Like, it was done before I could get my phone for a pic. DC snow hole indeed…

It’s happening— first flakes of the season starting in DC’s northern suburbs… this snow will expand south and east over next hour but may mix with or change to rain near and east of I95.

Why ya’ll ain’t tell me about digital planners and notetaking apps?!?!?
Ya’ll know I buy paper planners every year but I’m super allergic to dust and do not need another paper book in my house.
Ya’ll knew I have an Apple Pencil.
I thought we were friends…sigh

I accidentally opened Twitter instead of this app and the difference was jarring.
Can’t wait until all my Baltimore Ravens and other video-based accounts can come over. Then my social media life will be complete. 😁

I asked my brain why, since I read more than one book at a time and knit more than project at a time, couldn’t I work on two books at a time.
Maybe not actively drafting. Maybe plotting one and writing the other.
My brain’s answer? “You never tried.”

I think the Steelers should go off the field and watch us beat ourselves with these penalties.
