I love retro and nerdy things so I think I would open a shop where you could buy vintage tech, media, clothing, and collectibles. Also, that shop would be where you could get retro treats like soda, candy, snacks, etc. As my generation gets older, having things that remind us of our childhood would be comforting. Newer generations might appreciate antiques from the times of the generations that came before. Just imagine the things that you would find in a store like that.

The school busses were out and running this morning, a sign of students returning to the classroom. On Facebook, I have seen many of my friend’s children in their first-day-of-class pictures. Back in my day the kids used to go back after Labor Day (in America). Now they go back in early August. I am hoping those kids will have a great year in the classroom and beyond. May they also be safe and secure. Let’s hope the lessons they learn this year will make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone. Do a good job kids.
Chilling out is important. After a full week of work, it’s good to relax. For me, it’s hard to do. In the back of my mind, I think I am just being lazy and I think there is something that needs to be done. I also have this anxiety that someone is going to call and beg for my help.
As I have said I have to work at setting boundaries and saying no. It is important to reclaim my time for myself instead of giving myself away. Sure, it’s nice to be needed but I don’t want to be needed so much at this stage in my life.
So as I write this, I am having some fun and enjoying the time to do stuff I want to do. Perhaps I should matter more to me.
Comfort food is important on tough days. Here I will answer this question by the three meals I have daily.
Breakfast – I love oatmeal during the week. On weekends I enjoy cooking pancakes/waffles. Also, a cinnamon roll can be good.
Lunch – I am a kid when it comes to lunch where I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with corn chips. I also enjoy tuna fish and Reuben sandwiches when I need something more substantial.
Dinner – A loaded baked potato with pulled pork is good. Sesame chicken is something I enjoy anytime but especially on tough days. I also like a big plate of spaghetti. If it has meatballs then it is even better.
When days are tough I enjoy a snack of an oatmeal raisin cookie and a soda.
Hey friends, it’s Friday. Let’s finish this strange week the best we can. Make it a great day. Peace, love, and fun to you all as we head into the weekend.
What happened in Pennsylvania to former president Trump is unfortunate. Gun violence is a vile illness in this country and it cannot be ignored. That being said, for too long we have given guns a pass. Even Trump said people should get over it.
Gun ownership is a right in the USA but with rights come responsibilities and restrictions. People who have been the victims of gun violence deserve better.
I am not going to give Trump or Republicans a break. Too many children have lost their lives to guns. Too many women have been the victims of firearms that shouldn’t have been in the hands of the perpetrators. Something should be done but it won’t because of the sick dependence on the influence and money from the NRA and other organizations.
Gun violence is a moral issue that should have been addressed a very long time ago. Maybe now it will be looked at however I am not holding my breath.
