After what I posted yesterday about my overloaded schedule this week, I know it will probably seem hard to believe, but I did it AGAIN.

The agency texted me yesterday afternoon and asked me if I could pick up 2 additional shifts for another caregiver….

…and I was in such a GREAT mood, because things are going really, really GREAT for Sandra and me in NYC regarding our play, “The Guide to Being Fabulous,” that without even stopping to think, I once again said, “Sure!!”

And then afterwards, as I was getting my dinner ready, it finally dawned on me what I’d done.

I now have NO time for myself this week. No time to even wash my hair or do yoga. It’s insane.

Anyway. I’m going to have to pay more attention to this and stop saying yes without looking at my schedule first.

But that said, I was on the phone twice with Sandra yesterday, and I can’t really post what is going on right now, except to say that it is GREAT. And also to say that I am really BUSY and I need time to WRITE. And that in 2025, I will probably be going to NYC a lot!!

Okay.

Really, not much news, gang. Everything is all about the insanity of the upcoming election.

However. The BRICS Summit is going on for the rest of the world…

Intel Slava Z had a cute video. I can’t embed it, but you can watch it here. It’s really short – 23 seconds. And really cute.

From Real Raw News:

“Red Hats Eliminate FEMA Threat Assessment Director Jeffery Afman in North Carolina

Red Hats on Saturday “eliminated” FEMA Threat Assessment Director Jeffery Afman in an unsanctioned but fortuitous engagement that took place in the mountains northeast of Asheville, North Carolina, a once picturesque community laid waste by Hurricane Helene and, subsequently, the throngs of federal agents who arrived in the storm’s aftermath.  A single .300 Winchester Magnum round, fired from a Savage Arms bolt-action rifle at 800 yards, ended Afman’s life.[…]”

And our daily feature!

What Would Keith Richards Do?

It’s a strange one, today, gang.

It’s from Chapter Three, the Philosophy of Keith. If you feel there is no harm in repeating a good thing, you’re not alone! Consider the Philosophy of Keith:

“Look at Jimmy Reed: For twenty-five years he did the same song , and every one of them was different.”

That should give you courage today, if you feel like maybe you’ve been repeating yourself…

Okay. And that is it for today.

Have a terrific Tuesday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

Since I am re-visiting the top 100 hits from 1971 for my memoir, this song was going through my wee bonny head this morning at breakfast, so I leave you with it today.

A huge Top 40 radio hit from 1971, Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds – “Don’t Pull Your Love Out on Me, Baby”. Enjoy!!
