i believe i mentioned i like this twisted tale when i first read it.. i still like it.

Thanks. i don't know what this is but geez, it's bad. Michael doesn't stop normally, but He cannot get through the day without a nap. i've never seen Him take a week off work. Anyway, thank you. i'm sure we'll get through it.

It's Thursday, World Bread Day, and there's a quarantine notice on our front door. (Not really, but it sounds good.) We are and are still sick. I don't know what this disease is, but it can do one. Bread, in some form, is available in every country. i'd love to try them all. Have a good one peoples.

Ugh. Happy whatever day it is. Have a good one.

Soup is simmering, so that's dinner. I decided no to rice or noodles and put in a potato. There are carrots, onion, celery, garlic and some peas and corn. I have some frozen spinach so i may put some in later on. Lots of veggies and stuff. Giving the men some nibbles and a cup of tea at the moment. I am working on a story...currently at 22k words. i sort of know how it ends but i'm not sure how much longer it will be. It's my just for me story, meaning i write it when i'm in the mood. I like writing stories that appear after i write an opening sentence. It's kind of organic after that. I much prefer that to other ways, it works well for me. The 2024 anthology was written this way.. i just wrote a sentence.. "I don't believe this, Charlie!" Then wrote a story around that. I guess it's kind of a self-prompt. I'm hoping i can squeeze out a couple of hundred words before dog walking in 30 minutes. See you all later.

It's Tuesday and i am having one of my on-going headaches. The Men are still sick. Michael has taken a day off (argh, nearly unheard of but He's not well). Yesterday, i didn't do a lot because i'd slept so little i felt like a zombie (well maybe not THAT bad) but i did roast the turkey carcass in the air fryer and then made stock. Today I will make some turkey noodle or turkey rice soup. Danny and Michael have no appetite and eating is hard so, i thought maybe some soup would be easier for them. Anyway, that's my life lately. Right, it's Tuesday and it is Ada Lovelace Day. Ada was fascinated by machines and read as much as she could about them. She designed many. She also was friends with Charles Babbage, who is considered the 'father of the computer'. You can read more about Ada Lovelace here. And to keep @weinerdog happy here is a little short song, Daisy, sung by a computer in the early 60's.

In the still of predawn above the stars wait gracefully for the day to cover night. with the light comes an awakening birds sing squirrels chitter eyes open and the business of living is started once more Before the light we walk, beneath the few city stars, dog nearby it is cool and most blessedly quiet I could live in this moment forever In peace with only our murmured words and footsteps

Or Whatever you are celebrating, enjoy!!

Happy Sunday. Not so much around here. For various reasons...i didn't want to do a big meal, but here i am, doing it alone while other people are too sick. i think i'm next, but i'll cook this turkey today. lol Oh and i have dog duty as well for the moment. Our friend's mom passed away last night, and i'm not sure how much longer pup will be here with us as our friend looks after things. i couldn't sleep again last night...i just lay there until Michael shot out of bed at 3:30am, after sitting up for a bit we went back to sleep until 8ish...He's not feeling good at all, and has just now gone back to bed after a cup of tea and a little food. am i whining.. yes. Yes i am but i will get it done. One good thing i discovered is: Cenk Enes Ozer an author whose books were pulled from shelves in his homeland of Turkey after the coup attempt. He'd written nine of them. He arrived in Canada in 2016 and chose food and rent over writing. He worked hard, learned English at night and has now published his first book in English called, When the Devil Loves: A Mythic Fantasy of Creation, Exile, and Redemption I love books that look at the different sides of people or beings, as none are all evil or all good. We are layered and conflicted, as is 'the devil' in this book. Was he cast out, or did he just walk away? It's excellent and available on Kindle Unlimited.

Yeah.. i let people wait on me as much as possible. haha

He asked if that was a threat.

Yeah, eat what you enjoy. I sort of didn't want a turkey either but i was out voted. This one has been defrosting in the fridge and will be ready to cook tomorrow. We only got a twelve pound one so it won't take too long to cook. The pumpkin custard came out nice. I hope your mom feels better soon. xo

Lots of rest, haha. He isn't good at that, but he did sleep a couple of hours.

Thank you, honey. Michael has an awful cold. He got through yesterday but couldn't eat much this morning and has gone back to bed. Hopefully, that will help Him somewhat. I hope you are keeping well. oxxoo

Happy Saturday! Today is a prepping day for Thanksgiving dinner, which we will have tomorrow rather than Monday. Need to make pumpkin custard, make the cranberry sauce, and I'll make some cranberry orange scones as well. There's some cleaning to be done and a sick Husband to semi-look after. In addition to all of that, it is World Migratory Bird Day!

Yup and a few zaps help too. It's not a cure but it's helped me some.

So, yeah, it is Friday. Enjoy it! It's also Thanksgiving Weekend for Canadians. On a more serious note, it is World Mental Health Day. As one who has struggled for years with PTSD, Major Depression, Suicide and more, it is both horrible and necessary to fight yourself daily. It's like there are two of you or more, and it's bad when one of the others wins. It can be bloody and just awful. While there are plenty of songs about this topic, I chose this untitled song by Jimmie Allen for our musical portion of today's show. You can find it here. (Thanks to @weinerdog for the suggestion to add music) That said, and done, be kind to others (i struggle with this often, usually to my own detriment but i try to be better than that) and look after yourself. If you need help, look for a hotline or call a friend or family member. Dying is not worth it, i know.

i'm sorry to have disappointed you. i'll attempt to do better going forward.

Interesting spin on age-old monsters. Nice job.

Well written and very apt given the current situation in the USA. There be monsters.

I'm glad they are not as big as this author's imagination!

An experiment, but one that worked very well. At least for me. I recommend settling back, with an open mind, and just enjoy the experience.

i liked this very much. It feels familiar (except for the cats and hats). Habits ground you and can make you feel safe. I enjoyed the garden and then him coming home. Well done.

Happy Thursday. Yeah, so i sat here looking at the words Happy Thursday and decided that's all i got. So, have a good one.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.. The Jays whooped the Yankees 5 - 2 tonight.. ohhhhh yes.
