Look at Me!

…being all techno-savvy over here and figuring out how to change photos and texts without the aid of my computer geek son or ultra-patient-figure-it-out husband. I didn’t even have to attend a WordPress session, which seems to be a continual invitation from my site administrators. (That’s probably the entirely incorrect wording, as I am the administration!)

While I was cleaning house here I also did a once-in-a-decade chore. I cleaned out the pen drawer.

How do they reproduce? I have a cheerful squiggle page of ink created from my testing of the pens. I have pens from a family reunion ten years ago, from my dad’s collection from the Co-op where he worked, from various banks or hotels from which I presumably pilfered them. And pencils! I do not use pencils, but somehow they showed up in the drawer along with six pads of post-it notes, which I do not use either.

I had seven emery boards, two metal nail files, two pair of clippers, and two pair of tweezers in there. I know personal grooming tools do not belong in the pen drawer, but somehow they procreate along with the pens. (The tweezers do come in handy with splinters and emergency jewelry repairs.)

And finally, as a tribute to the end of 2019, I nearly (operative word) finished my mending. It will be nice to have a new wardrobe again after having items sit on my sewing table all year. A clean pen drawer and rejuvenated clothing.

You have to have something to look forward to in a new year!
