As I do a few things online, or I use Duolingo, I'll see ads for other games. I'm not someone who really wants to download apps because my brain is wired to spend all my time playing those games rather than doing useful things. And yet, some of the games are really piquing my interest ( Read more... )

The weather held out yesterday, so Laura and her family came over last night around 7. Laura and her husband talked with my parents, while Munchkin and I played games. I have washer toss and bean bag toss from my camp days, so I pulled those out; Munchkin quickly invented her own game with the bean bags. I think I started it, actually, by putting a ( Read more... )

No, the game itself hasn't ended, just my participation in it ( Read more... )

This has been a rough week for me mentally. After the ups and downs of Tuesday, I didn't sleep well that night. Last night, I stayed up too late because my evening scheduling is off and I wanted to be sure I got certain things done before I went to bed. Bad choice. Oh well ( Read more... )

It really didn't take long for the puzzle to consume us all. We started it on Sunday. On Monday, I worked on it for a bit after dinner. Tuesday morning, I came downstairs for breakfast and discovered the lid to the box in the middle of the puzzle. Wait, did I leave that there, or did someone else work on the puzzle? Dad copped to working on it ( Read more... )

It's laundry day, and I desperately needed to do my darks. I didn't do them last week because it was time to do my reds, and it was a large load, and I only do one or the other of them at a time. However, because it's been so cold, I've been wearing two pairs of socks at a time, plus a third pair once I get home from work because I don't want to ( Read more... )

I am so done with 2020. To wit, when I went to make breakfast this morning, I opened the fridge door to grab the milk and found a full gallon where my usual half-gallon would be. Mom had run to Target yesterday, and dad said to get milk for me, and either they didn't have half-gallons or mom (who doesn't touch the milk) completely forgot that we ( Read more... )

My parents went out last night, to the annual tree trimming party hosted by their friends. Dad won third place for his ornament, which I think was a little cabin that lit up. Mom made me look at pictures on Facebook. They didn't get back until close to 1 AM, and were not up for much today. Dad didn't even get up 'til almost 11. Luckily, mom ( Read more... )

With mom out of the house today, dad spent the day outside and I tackled a few projects inside. For him, part of what he did involved installing the sun shade he bought recently; this went over the little stage deck in the corner of the yard. However, with the initial installation, he realized it didn't work properly; it hung too low and was ( Read more... )

I've wanted to give a Wii/Duolingo update anyway, so this works out ( Read more... )
