Some thoughts I thought this week:
  • Does anyone else roll up their sleeves? It was never something I did but now I find myself doing it all of the time. Maybe Jason Bateman has a bigger influence on me than I thought.
  • For those of you that enjoyed JOMO, you might want to check out the sweetness of doing nothing or "Dolce far Niente" as they say in Italy. 
  • I haven't heard from Jimmy in a bit. Where are you, Jimmy?

  • I also haven't heard from Deedles in a bit. Where are you Deedles? 
  • Why didn't I post Halloween pictures?

Oh yeah, that's right.
So apologies for that oversight but here are Kyle and Hayden for Halloween '22:


Kyle went trick-or-treating with his buddies. He's the one with the red eyes.


Hayden didn't get to go trick-or-treating because she was sick on Halloween but she got to go to a Halloween party the Friday before so she got to get dressed up for that.

Lucrizzle update



My co-workers identify as dogs but act like pigs. Good thing they make me happy


The calm after the storm. Frizz comforts Lucy with a leg hug after she was attacked unprovoked by an aggressive house plant. Notice the big pile of soil to the right of their nest.

Thanks for stopping by. 
I will talk to you soon.

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

  1. Aww, I'm still here. Just taking a breather and enjoying my depression months. Thanks for caring. I love the man-o-gram meme!

  3. Cute costumes and doggies. Digging in the house plants, oh my. I'm fortunate that I don't have any; I would kill them way before the animals could.

  5. I rarely wear sleeves to roll up, but if I had to choose between that and the man-o-gram, I will get sleeves and roll them however high is desired.

  6. Boy. Sick kids all over the place this fall. I push my sleeves up when I wear sweaters. I gotta say that I would never tolerate houseplants soiling the carpet and attacking my pets.

  7. Hayden’s costume was great, but what a bummer to miss trick or treating. The sound of flip flops is horror in and of itself.

    1. I am not a fan of that sound either

  8. I love the cutest little skeleton there ever was. The squirrel meme is kind of like my life, ha. We recently had a plant dump over and I can't even blame Abe; it was me, I did it.

  9. I am a sleeve roller, too. Nothing better!

  10. Sleeves are up, something I started doing when I worked in a formal office environment; the tie was bad enough. Costumes are so much greater now than when I was a kid. No one made anything. Everything was bought. The masks were molded plastic. I honestly don't remember going tricker treating that much.

    1. Those molded plastic masks were the worst

  11. I have started buying 1/2 and 3/4 length sleeves since I am constantly rolling up my sleeves. We’ve been baking tiropita and spanakopita for a church bake sale, and it’s philo and butter and cheese/spinach. Not good for getting on your sleeves….
    Love the photos of the kids in their costumes! So cute, but I was sad to hear that Hayden missed out. Your co-workers look a bit lazy :-)

    1. They are seriously lazy and I might have to give them a formal write up.

  14. My grandson was sick on Halloween too but they did Trunk or treat a few days beforehand so he was good. I only roll my sleeves up when when I have long sleeves and have to do dishes.

    1. Definitely an excellent time to roll up the sleeves and hope the grandson is feeling better

  15. Haha that squirrel meme cracked me up. I hate the sound of flip flops. And nope I don't roll my sleeves up. Is that because I'm cool or just an old fart?

  16. Ha ha! Love the memes! I have to admit that as I get older I experience JOMO more often!

    1. JOMO is pretty awesome in my opinion
