Despite my best Intentions, I

 Mismanage my time, and another day goes by without writing. Not just my blog, but my own writing which churns away in my mind. Ditto with the blog, always so much to write about and then, doesn’t happen. Habit of putting my needs last takes over, and before I know it, the day is ready to call it a night. 

So much thought provoking material. Had read some fantastic stories on NYT, and the kind that should jolt one to action. But, not yours truly. So help me blog- come to my rescue. The story was titled “Living to die well”  (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/opinion/dying-well-planning-life.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare )At one point, the writer asks what one’s regrets would be if the past six months were the last six months of my life. OMG! That was a jolt of a question. In my case it would be the tragedy of letting my stories die between the pages of a notebook, or in the ‘cloud’ of despair that ultimately arises in my mind, when I can’t find my work on the laptop. Besides other regrets. 

Apologies blog, very sleepy so not writing straight. Anyway, on a  over note, had to shampoo my hair today, and couldn’t find my Tate’s shampoo. K gave me a bottle of Christopher’s shampoo that I had once ordered during a Sale even at Christophers. It was absolutely amazing. My hair feels so soft!

Susan is back from CA last  ight, and had called today. So good to hear the sound of  her sweet voice, sound therapy! 

So many women are opening up more, and being authentic in their writing and with life in general. Someday, maybe Me Too, aka, your’s truly. 

Going to succumb to you, dear sleep, eyes already closing. Please bring me nice dreams. People I’d love to see. Whether or not we talk, doesn’t matter. I’d like to see the ones I love. Life is beautiful. Meanwhile, I just have to remember that, and never forget. How else will I appreciate Venus shining bright outside my window when I open my blinds next morning. 

On that note, it’s O&O.
