Amidst all of the tumult associated with this virus thing is a new revelation to me: I am a senior and apparently more vulnerable than others. I never thought much about this, but now everyday there is talk of how much more serious this thing is for seniors. Ironically most of the talking heads a

So with being in and wanting to be productive, I am planning on doing another drawer today. I actually did two yesterday: didn't mean to but I couldn't stop myself. Reorganizing is a good thing. I found t shirts I forgot I had. I even washed some that hadn't seen the light of day in years. Pretty

It is only the beginning of this world crisis. People are panicked and many are lonely too. It is difficult to be isolated and that coupled with a sense of helplessness is difficult. I am doing things I generally don't have or make time to do. Being productive in any way matters. The scary thing

It is a difficult time now. I have been in way more than usual and the more I am in the more I am getting bummed. It is frightening and yet the sun is out and the dogs cheer me on. I am grateful for these things and hoping there will be dog food and toilet paper in the grocery store tomorrow. It

I have a house full of organization to tackle. Where is that gray sweater? What did I do with that extension cord? Where are those towels I bought last month? Yes, if I was better organized I would be able to find things more easily. Now with the time to tackle these things I am cleaning drawers
