Thursday

  • Got up this morning to find that the tarp I’d installed in attic was doing its job, but now water was dripping down below from a new source and additional swaddling was needed to keep water from running down from that new source. As I climbed up and down from that ladder up into the hidden room beneath my roof, I had visions of accidentally knocking over the ladder and winding up trapped in there. So I took my iPhone with me on each trip so I could call someone if needed. “Hey, Siri! Send help — I’m stuck in the attic!”
  • I yelled out a Hallelujah when the rain cleared and the sun came out! But then that was over within minutes and now it’s raining again.
  • Today, I got only one vote fewer for Speaker of the House than Donald Trump did, and I was elected to the position just as frequently as Kevin McCarthy was.
  • Not once so far this year have I accidentally written “2022.” Not once.
  • In writing a marketing email, I did my best to channel my inner James Brown before realizing sadly that I have no inner James Brown. But: I feel good! Like I knew I would!

    >>The cell phone was a good idea. I never go up on a ladder without adult supervision.

    Even my dogs covered their eyes.

    And every February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, November, and December. Not October because they’ll be running or re-election.
