A while back, I said that I was having anxiety-filled COVID dreams. I am having less of those, but I have noticed that my dreams have changed. I guess they would be new-age COVID dreams. Now, they’re less terrifying and more sad. They point out all the little things that I miss, or think might …

Virtual Fireworks
I got word about this and I can’t decide if it’s pretty neat or neat with a touch of creepy. But still, it’s mostly neat. Because we can’t have throngs of humanity smushing into parks and watching the fireworks, the government of Canada decided to put on a virtual display. On July 1, wherever you …
Your Outlook Is Like A Prison That You’re In
A friend sent me this song and encouraged me to tear it to pieces. Don’t mind if I do. Here are the lyrics, so we can rip this thing apart in new and creative ways. Maybe I don’t speak too well but I’m coming outta my shell And I like playing by myself if you …

Touchy About Touch
I read an article about how this new physically distant life kind of sucks for blind people, and although I don’t agree with all of it, he definitely has some good points. He very clearly explains the constant anxiety I feel when I’m out and about and might bump someone, have to touch elevator buttons, …
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It?
So now, some weirdo is saying that because of a mathematical error, the Mayans actually predicted that the world will end today. It won’t, but the way things are going this year, if I was a little easier to scare, I might believe it.
MURDER HORNETS!
I had never heard of the Holderness Family, but this will be my second video of theirs I’m posting today, and they have many many many many more. These people are hilarious. But this video needs to be the anthem for 2020. It is perfect. Even before the MURDER HORNETS! and the Coronavirus, Steve and …
Dealing With Masks If You Can’t Hear
I saw this article about masks causing communication problems for people with hearing loss, and I thought I would pass it on. I expected lip-reading would be a problem, but I hadn’t considered facial expressions, which was a total duh moment. I think this article does a good job of explaining the problem and giving …
A Song About The Woes Of Zoom
A friend sent me this the other day and I laughed, laughed and laughed. Thankfully, I work with people who know how to work their Zoom since we often have to meet with people in other offices, so most of these things don’t happen to us, but when I was less familiar with Zoom, there …
If You Still Wonder Why There Is Rage, Here’s A Clue
I have no words of my own about what keeps happening between police and people who are black. George Floyd is just the last in a long string. Listen to the song up there. Do you want to know something terrifying? I have heard multiple versions of this song, and in each one, they list …

Sleep Talkin’ Me
Back a few months ago, Steve said he hoped I wouldn’t be like Jenna Evans and swallow anything in my sleep because I’ve become quite elaborate in the things I say and do, mostly say, once I’ve headed off to the land of Nod. I’ve been meaning to write down the totally weird and wacky …
