April 22, 2025 @ 19:38 Good evening family & friends It was quite a windy day today but beautiful and warm. I didn't go out anywhere, and did sleep quite a bit - for the same reason as yesterday - so it was a restful day of healing, and I am feeling quite a bit better tonight - thank you Lord! Have worked on a couple of non-blog-related things: one is looking into listening to podcasts again. Now that I have learned (thank you, Leelan!) how to use bluetooth headphones I want to start listening to a very select few podcasts while I am doing other things...such as working in my planned garden this year but also when I'm driving or doing laundry or whatever. I have also been trying to read again. Not that I don't know how, but it has been difficult with this bramaged drain and really not worth the effort when I have to go back over and over and over the same things before I can move on in a story, for example. I started that about 2 weeks ago and I finally just read a whole book on my tablet! VERY exciting! So now I am about to start a second book by the same author about the same characters in the same fictional town but of course with the focus on different ones; that way I'm not starting from scratch again. It was a lovely little book, called On Moonberry Lake by Holly Varni that I read on Everand but it doesn't have The Blooming of Delphinium so I'll be reading that on Hoopla. Anyway, that's where I'll be going after I finish here tonight, to "work on" the book and/or look into a couple of podcasts - I just want to start with 2 - that were mentioned on theres.life recently...and lastly, I finally started the actual work on a new page on my ChiaChow site, having done a lot of background work and research and link-saving for a while now; today I actually put the page up with the introduction and it's ready to go. So that's pretty exciting too! So I guess I will go get started and will see you in the morning, have a good evening, good night

April 16 2025 @ 21:15 Good evening family & friends I'm getting ready to go to bed after a satisfying day of keyboard playing, meme hunting, working on my sites, and visiting with Leelan and Luna who came over for a little while! Good times! The day really zipped past! There was a little airplane that kept flying over, dozens of times actually, and very low, today; I went on Nextdoor and asked about and was told that's the mosquito control plane, they've already started dropping their chemicals. I hadn't thought about that even being a possibility or part of living in the city. Anyway, I'll finish up my night time stuff and will see you in the morning...good night

April 15, 2025 @ 22:29 Good evening family & friends Well I am happy to accomplish what I set out to do today, namely get the 2 posts up that I'd mentioned earlier, in spite of my inability to stay awake hahaha! Pretty much that's all I did today actually, slept, worked on this site, and ate a meal. Didn't even get dressed! Pete did take Leelan to get his birthday gift but the shop was closed so they will do it tomorrow. But Leelan - who got his driving permit a few days ago - did get to drive our car with Umpa Pete so it was worth it to him anyway! Anyway I will see you in the morning, sleep well

Here’s a critter you might not recognize: the ring-tailed vontsira (Galidia elegans)! Found in the forests of Madagascar, this small carnivore weighs up to 2 lbs (0.91 kg) and has a varied diet that includes insects, eggs, fish, and small mammals. The ring-tailed vontsira is an agile critter, an excellent climber, and is known to be playful.

April 9, 2025 @ 20:38 Good evening family & friends Though I had a slow start, it ended up being quite a productive day. All the laundry is put away, dishes got did, had some keyboard time, ran a couple of errands (in HoWie!), made a couple of meals, and updated some pages on my ChiaChow site as well as new posts here. Not bad for a slug hahaha! I don't think we're going anywhere tomorrow so I plan to keep having productive days. Still have to feed the PoiBoiz and get them ready for bed, they got their new toys today so in the morning I'll give their cages a thorough (as opposed to the daily "good enough") cleaning and give them new toys...still looking around for someone more clever than me for another source. Would be such a good home job for somebody who wants to do it, as long as they know what they're doing (safety, toxins, etc.) which is usually someone who has parrots AND extra time but if you have parrots you probably don't have lots of extra time hahaha! Anyway, maybe there's someone out there praying for such an opportunity and I'm praying for someone who does such a thing and God may bring us together. I'm rambling so I will go get ready for bed and do the same for my sweet PoiBoiz, and I will see you in the morning...good night

April 8, 2025 @ 21:50 Good evening family & friends Well I didn't do NEARLY as much today as I did yesterday as I was pretty sore already but I did finish the laundry except for the towels; I'm waiting for a nice day so I can hang them outside. But the highlight of my day was a completely unexpected and WONDERFUL gift from my bestie Heidi in MO, I will show you pictures tomorrow, pretty darned cool and I'm really excited about it! She also sent me flower seeds in my favorite colors, from her flowers! Plus we got to have a nice long chat (text)...so she really really made my day It did stay pretty sunny outside until evening when we had some heavy snow falling, it was beautiful but didn't stick. I spent part of the evening with my PoiBoiz and also just looking at recipes and gardening stuff online, and now it is nearly time for bed. A long but beautiful day, and productive enough that I don't feel like a slug hahaha! Sleep well

April 7, 2025 @ 22:57 Good evening family & friends Another late night! Today was SUPER busy, I did so much...Pete came home in the evening, he had intended to spent the night where he was but plans changed. I had my 2 days alone planned out but I'm excited that he is home, wasn't looking forward to being alone especially at night. And of course I can still do all I had planned tomorrow anyway, so it's all good! I had intended to do more here on my site today but part of what I'd planned to post, I decided not to for various reasons...still, I spend a lot of time on it first, before putting it up on my private family site, but most of the good stuff was on the post I DID put up here anyway :). Now I'm going to go crash so I can have another productive day tomorrow, and I'll see you in the morning

April 5, 2025 @ 21:31 (!) Good evening family & friends BUSY day today, I had a ton of video clips from the last month or so that I've needed to go through and either delete, or edit into single videos that I then could optimize to save storage space...that took my entire afternoon, and I shared most of them here (which was my original intention anyway) so there's quite a list below, tonight of all that I accomplished. Of course earlier I had done the usual stuff, both here on my site and around the house. Then we went to Leelan's "friends party" - his birthday is Monday, and his parents always have a fun thing for him and his friends every year. We've previously been to far to stop in but tonight we did and it was nice to see them all having pizza and fun! We made a quick stop at Ollie's for a few things on the way home, then took care of the PoiBoiz and dogs, and fed ourselves. Now I wiped out and ready for bed! Early up for church tomorrow, so I will see you then, good night

April 4, 2025 @ 21:26 Good evening family & friends Just as I had hoped for, today was a productive, non-pressure kind of day. Lots of keyboard time, lots of catching up (a little left to do tomorrow), and plenty of time with the #PoiBoiz, #MaisieCurGurl, and my Petey. And that was my entire day. Might not sound like much but it was THE perfect day for me today! And now I hope to go have a perfect night's sleep and will see you in the morning

April 2, 2025 @ 22:10 (10:10!) Good evening family & friends Golly but this day has flown by! It was so busy, nonstop! Because I hadn't spent quality time with them the last time they were here ("sick" with extreme pain) I really wanted to be totally present with them this time. So I had some good quality fun with each of them for a while as well as together. Then the little one got a belly ache and the dizzies; we were having super-storms here tonight (thunder/lightning, hail, 80mph winds) so going home at that point wasn't an option. Mommy told her exactly what to do on the phone, and Lyra stepped in to help and is sleeping in her bed with her, a wet wash cloth on her head, and some snuggles; she's asleep now. Talking to Mommy who told her what to do was probably the best medicine...sweet little angel... Anyway you can tell that I didn't even get my pictures or video posted...another busy day tomorrow with lots of driving then I'll hopefully be able to catch up in the evening...will do my best! Meanwhile, tonight I'm ready to sleep, and I will see you in the morning, good night
