If you force me to choose between Star Trek and Star Wars. I would have to pick Star Trek. But please don’t force me. #mbnov

She felt like she was in a bind, she didn’t want to hurt her friend, but she knew she had to say something about her drinking.

Feeling Grateful

On this day of Saturday, November 7th, 2020 Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and Kamala Devi Harris have been elected the 46th President and Vice President of the United States. I am feeling very grateful. Grateful that we will have a President who doesn’t think he is the smartest person in the room, who will not tweet every conspiracy theory as the truth, who treats people with the dignity they deserve, who believes in science. It feels good to be proud to say to the world “I am an American” once again.

In the last couple of days, some supporting Trump have tried to inflate every small glitch into a major issue of cheating.

The American election process must be very puzzling to foreign observers. It certainly is to most Americans. #mbnov

In the documentary Citizen Jane, they talk about how important the stoop was in the life of a neighborhood. People sitting on stoops outside apartment buildings acted as a natural crime deterrent. It was also a place for people to gather and catch up on the neighborhood news and gossip. #mbnov

Sometimes when all is quiet and you can hear the ticking of the clock or the sound of rain on the roof. I will sit quietly with my thoughts and I can feel my mother’s presence me. It is at those times I miss her the most. #mbnov

I stayed up late last night, drinking beer and watching football, so I am pretty sure I am not going to be able to concentrate today. I am going to be seeing a lot of “squirrels.” This is not going to be a day for deep thinking or deep work. #mbnov

Looking Forward with Hope

It has been rainy and deary forever here. Okay, I may be slightly exaggerating, but only slightly. I have to admit there are things about the rain, I love, the sound of it and the wind against the window pane and how it makes the air smell fresh and clean. I just need a bit of sunshine right now, some hope to break through the gloom. While writing this I realized that the weather around here is pretty much matching the anxiety and tension in the air. Sunshine is predicted for Wednesday, so maybe that is a good omen #mbnov

Spendstack

If you are looking for a way to keep track of your spending, I recommend the Spendstack app for iOS. You can organize by categories either thru tags or folders. You can add sales tax to individual items. You can set items to one-time or reoccurring on a yearly,monthly,weekly or daily basis. For groceries you can also input weight amounts. Once you set your payments up you can see how much you are spending weekly, monthly or yearly for various categories. I have found it incredibly helpful in determining where I am overspending.
