I'll tell you one thing, working hard makes you sleep good.
That was probably the best night's sleep I've had in a long time. That's what a good day's honest work gets you, and I'm talking about honest work -- not that stress filled frustrating mess we do out in that toxic plant I work in.
So, other than watering my baby grass and filling the hummingbird feeders, and piddling just a bit in the yard, I pretty much took it easy today, other than finishing the hat I was working on,
and casting on another one.
By the way, I've been watching Call The Midwife on Netflix, and I had completely forgotten about Jane. Now I'm wondering what else I've forgotten from the first few seasons. I've also been watching Band Of Brothers, and was pleasantly surprised to find the guy who plays Peter -- Chummy's husband -- is also in that. As is Damien Lewis, and I'll watch anything with Damien Lewis in it.
In other news, as you know, my twentieth blogiversary is coming up in November, and I've been thinking about it quite a bit. About how much things have changed since I started -- and I'm not just talking about the blogging community.
I'm talking about the world in general, and myself in particular. I've never been particularly political on this blog, but back when I started, I felt we could have honest discussions about different world topics. Nowadays, people have gotten so nasty and vicious, I don't even want to bring up current events. I just don't have it in me to deal with the drama.
Meaning, I don't want to deal with the drama. Even from the so-called conservative side. If you don't toe their line, you get called all kinds of names and told you're a mindless sheep. But those people who mindlessly believe the memes and Rumble videos without verifying anything whatsoever are the real sheep.
Oh, have you heard the latest kookoo bird conspiracy theory that's going around? That Bill Gates was on Epstein island cloning thousands of human babies, and the whole pedophilia thing was just the cover story. Indeed humans have been being cloned since 1854. Yep, I saw those from two different people on social media just today, but don't you dare ask them for evidence! We don't need no stinking evidence! They're right just because they say so!
Anyway, all of that is compounded by my own increasing reluctance to share my thoughts and feelings the way I used to. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky. Maybe it's because I no longer have family around and am feeling more and more isolated. Maybe I've just decided that no one really cares any more.
It's not just politics or serious topics. It's the happy thoughts and good times, it's getting more and more difficult for me to share them on the blog. Oh, I can mentally compose wonderfully thought provoking posts in my head, but when I sit down to type them out, I don't know. It's just so hard. Even typing this much out has been difficult for me.
Well, I don't know where I'm going with this, but I do know it's almost time for me to go to bed. It's back to work in the morning.
Goodnight, Gentle Reader -- those of you who have made it this far.
