There’s a lot of things that I have to do every month. Maybe not all on the first day of the month, but the first day is a good reminder to get started on them. Some duties can be scheduled but others depend on receiving things in the mail before you can start on them.

Tonight I wanted to watch a movie and just chill out, but I couldn’t decide what to watch. I have a good collection of DVDs with a variety of genres, but nothing sounded appealing. So I turned to the On Demand listings and scrolled through the listing of free movies. They have an oldie but goodie on the list, a movie starring Cher and Wynonna Ryder called, “Mermaids.” So I think that’s what It will be for me tonight. Mermaids and popcorn.

Today was a spooky coincidence in that it was Friday the 13th for the second time this year. Since we have only had 3 months in the year, that fact that two of the three had a Friday the 13th is a little spooky, don’t you think? And another one coming again – but not until November.

There has never been a good outcome for me when someone has told me, “We need to talk.”

My mother had a unique way of bringing up a problem. She would say, “I have a bone to pick with you.”
