You go to work every day. You sit at your desk. Now it doesn't matter where that desk is these days. You may still be working from home. You are thankful for your job you really are but sometimes you think how boring it can really actually be for you.

Can I say that it really does suck to grow older. Though I will say that it sure beats the alternative. So a few years ago I took a big step and planned my funeral. I know. I hate to think about that. It was a nice thing to do for my daughter.

Have you done any flying since the pandemic hit? I had a flight scheduled in March to fly to Dallas to help my daughter move. I had to go. Luckily I could just cut my losses and make the drive.

I read a story the other day about a new kitchen challenge that is going viral. So I wanted to give it a try. I have 2 kitchen utensils that are wooden. I have had them for years.I usually throw them in the dishwasher. I figure that is the best way to keep them clean. Apparently it doesn't really keep them all that clean. That is why this challenge is even a thing.

Sleep seems to be one of the hardest things to come by these days. I mean I feel that the older I get the harder it is to actually get the recommended sleep that you need. You hear all the time that 8 hours is what you need. Then you see other findings that if you get six hours you are golden.

I get it. There has not been a whole lot to be happy about in 2020. We just have to try. We need to get past all this and on to how things should be. The normal part of life again. Sometimes we just need to fake that smile until it's real.

I know last winter a lot of people got sick. It seems that time of years brings it on. I feel though that a lot of people got sick and now think that they may have had the coronavirus already.

We were so happy to ring in 2020. Remember when we were all complaining about 2019? You remember. Right? Here we are towards the end of July and I feel that our new normal is nothing like we anticipated back when we hated 2019 so much.

Another week and another chance to eat healthy. This may be something we have been struggling with for some time. We do pretty good for a few days. We start to feel better and then something comes up. A meal that you know you won't have many healthy choices.

Ambition is important in life. Ambition is what drives us to do our very best. Sometimes our goals are big. Maybe we are ready for a life changing move. Sometimes those ambitious desires are a little more low key.

I have been a proud owner of a Fitbit watch for years. More recently I had the Versa.I have always loved the watches but they seem to break after a year. My latest never got text messages from my phone like it was supposed to. But it was great with tracking my steps and monitoring my sleep.

So of course during the pandemic we did learn that washing our hands is very important to stopping the spread. We have learned all types of tips. We know we need to wash our hands for at least 20 seconds. We also know that hand sanitizer is good but not as good as actually using soap and water.
