Well, I got a good amount of writing done today, along with some laundry and a few other chores. Since I didn't walk, my chronic pain isn't as bad as it usually is, which means I'll probably sleep better than usual tonight. All in all, a pretty good day.
#Today
I post this every year and it's still relevant.
My contribution to #earthday comments #today comes as a poster done by cartoonist Walt Kelly for Earth Day 1970. The #AltText says it all. For years now I have had this poster framed and hanging on the wall of my dining room. Here we are 55 years later...

#Today my hollyhocks are starting to bloom! I grew these from seeds 
Good morning. It's Monday AND I have a dentist appointment, not the best start to the week. Still, the sun is out, and hummingbirds are coming to the feeders regularly.
It's painful to look outside and see everything covered in yellow-green pollen, but I think there's been less accumulation overnight. Maybe the worst is over? I look forward to when we can power wash the porches, put out the cushions and enjoy sitting outside again.
Good morning. Everyone brought flowers to yesterday's holiday gathering. Sadly, no one brought Claritin. #Photography #Today #Easter #allergies #Chicago
A new day. A new chance to succeed.
Every day I ask myself "Is this the day?"
Do I do the thing?
Or not.
I check off my boxes in the morning. Morning Maintenance. The Bare Minimum.
Even then not always all of them.
It's like I'm testing an internal switch.
Is it on or is it off?
Like I don't have the choice to make it one or the other.
Yet forcing it almost always fails. Catching rain in a sieve.
But sometimes?
Sometimes it works.
May your switch be on #today

Hey y'all 
Good morning to ya.
Yup. It's Monday again, but not a bad start to it #today.
It's a pleasant 62deg at sun up this morning heading to around 82deg by sunset, and some sun to sit n sip in before clouds and rain move in this afternoon. That should supply the last brick in building our summertime weather transition with the arrival of the humidity. 
The air is still quite stuffy n smelly, this morning forcing an early closing of the wimdows even though it was still much cooler outside. But good enough n much better breathing. Hopefully, the rain expected over the next few days will wash that junk from the air. 
Not much on my Monday Honey-doin menu. Just the normal cleaning of the clutter from neglecting it to sit n slack and sofa surf my weekend away. 
But, coffee first. 
️
Y'all have a great start to your week. 
First early AM swim at new pool. Braving the judgmental looks from all the Serious Swimmers in my faded janky trunks that are actually running shorts because I don’t know anything about buying a Serious Swimsuit.
#Today 21
Good day!
SIX Book3 chapters remain to edit. Counting down is but one of the things I do to fuel my motivation.
I’ll grab a prescription at the pharmacy when they open, then walk.
I’m so ready to hike. I’ve never pushed as hard at editing as I have this month.
Be everwell.
Nothing makes Cody as happy as a good squeaky toy. May your day be as happy as his. #today #dogs #dogsofmastodon #AustralianSheperds
Good morning!
Today I decided to give my aching joints a rest and stayed in rather than walking.
As always, I hope to write a good number of words today.
Yesterday, I cooked myself an Easter dinner of lamb steak, carrots, and baked potato. The lamb steak was so big, I'll be doing it again today.
Have a good one, my friends.
#Today
Something I'd forgotten all about came up in my FB memories today. This is the post:
"I've just received a letter from a reader of my books. She's reading Blood Libel. It inspired her, she said, to seek out the only synagogue in the (I'm guessing rural) county she lives in and wish them a blessed Passover. What a wonderful letter to get today!"
That might be the best thing I've ever received from a reader.

Today:
- I managed to do most of my walk in the dry
- there were leftovers for an easy but delicious dinner
- it’s clean sheets day
Today I:
- Maintained the Hungarian Easter Monday tradition of 'sprinkling' (locsolkodás) where female members of the family are lightly sprinkled with water in return for painted Easter eggs.
- Savoured the winning goal that put Liverpool just one win away from winning the English Premier League title.
- Enjoyed the mellow autumn weather. Wet for sure, but also calm. The red, gold, and brown colours of autumn are quite visible now in the deciduous trees and bushes.
Today I went to visit Mum and took a posy from the garden. She seemed to like the flowers. I'm not sure she knows *who* I am but she knows I'm familiar (I'll take it; it's expected but I guess another sign of decline).
I had the thought when I was walking back home... it's not too late to plant bulbs. I might get an assorted pack and plant them in the ex-lawn and then I can take her bunches in the spring. I always find it easier to visit if I have something to bring, and flowers brighten up everyone's day.
1. Managed to do all of my self-care tasks today
2. Played Rune Factory 5 for a few hours. The fact that my ability to play games other than Tetris is coming back is a good sign!
3. Baked really delicious baguettes.
three good things:
1) i had a few chocolate chips about an hour ago and now i am frantically planning on cleaning and dying a fleece that's been in my garage since 2023. i have a wee bit of inspiration to dye small bits of wool in various colors and then use them for embroidery on another project that's been languishing for a while.
chocolate chips as instant motivation? maybe! i'm not sure how long this energy will last, but i'll take it. lol
2) i still have fairy lights in my front window and they are the special kind that flash along with whatever music is playing nearby. i may never take them down. sorry neighbors. 
3) did i mention that i ate a very small handful of chocolate chips? because i'm not used to that amount of caffeine (or like, any caffeine, lolol) so i am kinda spinning my wheels here. but they were pretty good and i have now reached my caffeine quota for the year.
