recycle
I don’t believe anybody’s recycling the plastic and cardboard we put in our recycling bin. I still take the time to separate ‘recyclable’ material because it makes My Darling B feel better. And okay, I suppose that maybe, just maybe, there’s a tiny inkling of a chance that somebody somewhere might be grinding up a… Read.

I gave the bathroom a thorough cleaning yesterday morning. It really needed it. Cleaning the bathroom is one of those things that I utterly despise while I’m doing it, and yet somehow after it’s done I feel a rewarding sense of accomplishment. Also, I really like using a clean bathroom. However, I will dread the… Read.

not a newsie
T-Dawg came over last night to have dinner with us and play Spirit Island into the wee hours of the morning. At one point he picked up his phone to look up an obscure rule or something like that. While he was searching through his feed for the answer to his question he stopped scrolling… Read.
