Today, I latch hooked for the first time since May 3. I had been laid low with a nasty case of Covid. I felt fatigued for a few weeks after that. But today, I felt okay. Yay.
I’m back. I have resumed eye therapy and physical therapy. I’m starting to walk more. And I’ve taken up cooking meals again. Woot.
I even solved a future tax problem.
Watch out, world. I’m back.*
* = Ok, I would also like to get most of my hearing back, but the trend is good.
Anyway, I’ve done 104 out of 113 rows. Here is the work so far.

We get stressed. We have too many responsibilities. Too many things to ponder. Our mind gets pulled in more and more directions and all at once. We find ourselves performing ever shallower analysis on our projects. We shun contact with the people around us. No time.
Our brain’s ability to function decreases all the time. We have forgotten there’s no “function” without “fun.” Of course, we also can’t “function” without “ction,” but that’s a subject for a future blog.
Anyway, our minds cry to the heavens for some rest, some time off to recalibrate.
How do we do that? As they say in internet technology, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
We will turn off our minds. We’ll do that by thinking of nothing. Nothing. Like what is shown in the rectangle below. Look inside it.
Nothing
If you still have troubling clearing your mind, try again while chanting, “Iggy piggy poo” over and again. You’ll be amazed how much more revitalized you will feel.

Today was a tough day, full of stress. Despite your best intentions, many more things went wrong than right. You desperately need to relax. You need to see a setting Sun.

Clarabelle of Twenty Pines Farm is quite the talented cow. She can enter her nostrils with her tongue. Can you do that? I thought not, but I bet you wish you could.
When asked to talk about her bovine talent, the laconic Clarabelle said, “Moo.”

Away with time zone confusion
How many times has this happened to you? It’s nine o’clock. You’ve had a satisying day at work. You’ve made a wonderful dinner and cleaned up afterwards. You’re happy with your life. You’re happy with the world. You want to reach out and contact an old friend. Why not call Jacques Bonhomme? But wait, he lives in Paris! What time is it in Paris? Does anyone even know? Even Parisians might not. Is he at work? Is he at home? If so, is he sleeping?
Wouldn’t it be nice to know? Would it be easy if it were simply the same time everywhere? Then if it were 8:49 pm, as it is now in my beloved Poway, it would be 8:49 pm in Paris. Merveilleux, c’est trop facile.
Now, I can call Jacques knowing that he’ll be at home and awake.
I know the benefits of having a universal time are immense, but what place shall we use for the universal time?
Poway, California
Why Poway? I live there. It’s my idea. I call dibs. There, it’s settled.
Will this brilliant idea meet with universal approval?
Probably not at first. I go to bed around 10 pm. So will Jacques, because 10 pm is the time most people drift off to sleep. However, the Sun will just be coming up at 10 pm in France under the new Poway Universal Time System (PUTS.)
Jacques and billions of other people need some time (hee, hee see what I did there) to adapt to seeing the moon overhead at lunchtime. Yacht races and other fol de rol will become particularly challenging, not to mention archery contests.
Yet there is hope the teething period with the onset of PUTS will be short and easier than expected.
Afterall, a polar day at the South Pole lasts six months. And you never hear the scientists there explaining.
PUTS starts tomorrow. I hope you find adjustment easy. I know I will.
I see a Nobel Prize in my future.

We’ve all had moments when we shouldn’t eat chocolate cake; probably when we’re on a diet. Then there are times when we are too sick to eat anything but the blandest foods, or even anything at all. Our ailing bodies simply won’t let us. “There will be consequences,” they warn.
Yet eventually the tyranny of the simplest foods will eventually pass. Eating will get easier, better. Courage, my friends, you’ll soon be devouring tasty, decadent food. And here it is:
