Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for March 2021?

Have any hit ground? Um...is Vanny sending you "fake news" about me?

@TheHorse — major hit just south of Birmingham.

@FourWalls Any fatalities?

@TheHorse You're welcome... It's only 52 F here today. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 65 F, which works fine for me. (The 52 F would be okay if not for the rain. *sigh*) Well... at least the scientists have proved you aren't killing brain cells when you drink yourself into a nice dreamless sleep.

@DaddyEvil Oh, I didn't know that. I have brain cells and neuronal links to spare. I'm trying to become more normal. Dang it. How can I delete some brain cells?

Thanks, DE. It's sunny out today, and I think it's supposed to reach 71 F. I don't have to work, so I gave myself three "tasks" to do and may cycle out to a local school and practice taking grounders off of the "handball court." Or maybe I'll just drink myself into a deep slumber.

@setsuna26 Your comment is a good example of 'putting one's foot in'!

@MALUSE

LOL! Beware "giving advice" to MyLot members whose numbers suggest that they have been here for awhile. I do my monthly "Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal?" post as friendly satire of those who are concerned with how much money they can make here. Because (most of) my readers are "in on the joke," they know it's not mean-spirited in any way. It's become a silly ritual here. And beware when you read my posts: I often have my tongue in my cheek when I write. I have been known to exaggerate to the point of almost telling untruths!

@TheHorse I'm not sure they realize the owls are there. The tree the owls are in is directly in front of one of the clinic's windows, which for whatever reason has no blinds or other covering over it. So if one didn't know that the owls nest there every year they might think I was trying to take pictures through the window. I'm pretty sure owls are similar to crows and ravens in recognizing individual humans. When I first started walking down that way several years ago, they were always on high alert and watchful. Now, I might get a sleepy blink but they're completely unconcerned with me even though they'll dive after certain dog walkers and joggers. Leaving them in peace is a large part of why I splurged on that lens, though! I can get my shots and still keep a respectable distance from the nest itself.

@yukimori I think I'd step into the clinic with the photos you've taken of the owls and show them why you're there with a camera. Or maybe I'd just ignore the people and do what I want anyway. You aren't on their property and aren't actually doing anything wrong. I guess it would depend on how I was feeling whether I'd bother or not.

Why the stank eye? Did they think you were going to harm the owls somehow? If you didn't engage in "predatory behavior," it shouldn't stress them.

@TheHorse I feel like I'm on the mend. Maybe that's the power of positive thinking that's always inside me, but really I do feel like I'm finally getting over this thing.

I'm glad you're well enough to visit the computer. When I get a fever (about once every ten years) I just lie in bed and feel sorry for myself.

@moffittjc Here's a "fun fact": I've written a lot of stuff over the years. Sometimes I "feel inspired." Sometimes I feel like I could give a sh*t about what I'm writing. Writing becomes like trying to force out a turd that has turned sideways in your colon. But when I read what I write weeks later, I can't tell the difference. I'm glad you managed to "crawl" to the computer and type some sh*t. I also hope that you're on the mend.

I thought your goals were to keep your pups happy and your husband out of your hair... or did I just get that backwards?

I like having something to look forward to. A certain German friend cuts me down for my obsession with "moving forward," and not just "being," but I'm happiest when I can do both.

@DaddyEvil Hello?

@TheHorse Omg . . . my thoughts exactly .

I wonder if Covid levels will rise in places where college kids go for Spring Break.

@much2say I hope they do some distancing when they're not "making out" and shaking their pee pees at each other.

@TheHorse yes, it does sound reasonable. I’ll do what I can have better things to write about next month.

Sounds reasonable.

@ShyBear88 One can write here about pretty much anything.

Shh. I don't really either. But I pretend to for fun.

@TheHorse I know and I've often wondered why. The first couple of hundred million dollars usually come in a week and then it's a struggle to get even a thousand a day and by the 4th week, it's hard to get 10 cents a day. I would love to know why that is.

I think you're going to fall short. Those last 12 cents are always the hardest to get.

@just4him I just did it. It was good. --Hemingway

LOL! It's all for fun. There are many sources of fun. Soon, I will fold warm laundry. That, to me, is a "little joy."

@TheHorse I'm glad you like folding warm laundry. I do too.

I'm doing OK!

@LindaOHio It's slow right now. But I think I have nine chapters done. My goal is maybe 22.

@TheHorse Glad to hear it. How's your book coming along?

That's a worthwhile goal.

@TheHorse Thank you. I know I'm getting paid this month which is a lot quicker than last time! It took me about a year to get my first payment. This time it's only 3 months!

@Laurakemunto Thanks. I'm working on goal #2 right now.

I hope you got the things done in the "real world" that you needed to. I have one "task" down for today and two to go.

@TheHorse yes I hope so too. Best of luck!

@TheHorse Yes, thank you, I am feeling better this morning, even though it's raining and dreary out there. But I probably won't get dressed today, either.

I hope you feel better. I did dishes and laundry and got some Thai soup. Oh, and I did some "stoutness exercises," to quote Milne (Pooh). Kitty is guarding the door right now. That is my day.

It has been relaxing.

I'm going to have a good month. But my MyLot Porsche delivery date will remain the same.
