My Thoughts for the day

I found a workaround so I could still post this blog.  I may have to take my computer in to Best Buy to get it working properly. I'll wait till the new year to decide what to do.

On Sunday, I rotated the mattress and did 3 loads of laundry. I have no idea how one person living alone can make so much laundry every single week.  I also half-watched the Bengals wipe out the Cards. It's been a horrible season for the Cards. 

Today the sun is shining, it is chilly and a bit windy. No moisture in the forecast. 

I have watched several news channels and all are 'looking back' to the all the news...politics, entertainment, weather, and on and on. I've had a good year with my life and my health. All these news channels remind me that this has been a crazy year for so many.
