Writes all the things. Most of the things never write back.
There’s a reason that some things get done at the last possible moment.
Sometimes it’s because yesterday was completely consumed by the things whose last possible moment was — yesterday,
And those didn’t get done before yesterday because the day before THAT was completely full with gotta-do-it-today-because-tomorrow-is-not-an-option items.
I’ve started writing things on my to-do list that I know I will not forget to do, just for the pleasure of crossing them off and reminding myself of all I DID get done on those days I look back and ask myself, where did the day go?
I learned today that dogs may understand a human vocabulary of 150 words or so.
And I thought, I hope those 150 are the most utilitarian, and not something esoteric like sesquipedalian.

I still mourn the day that SOMEONE decided that yogurt containers should be six ounces, not eight.

I’m not going to say this is a question which keeps me awake at night, but since this IS night and I’m still awake, this question does not exactly promote sleep, either.
Winter is one of my top four favorite seasons.
You go to the store, and you can’t buy the thing you want to buy at the price you’re used to pay, because they are out.
Next to it – an acceptable substitute, for a little more, and that is in stock.
You might want to buy it. Because next week, they may be out of that as well. And there you’ll stand, with money, and nothing to buy with it.
And — c’mon. Don’t get down to your last roll of toilet paper before you add toilet paper to your shopping list. You know better. Yes you do.
If there’s one thing I know about the unexpected, it’s that you should always expect it.
Its precise form will reveal itself to you at its convenience.
The Time Gods have stolen an hour of your time, and if you die before Standard Time resumes, they get to keep it.
This is why they are effectively immortal.
