Why The Horse has been a bad MyLotter recently.

I am sorry that I haven't been visiting others' posts as much as I usually do over the past couple of days. But the reason is good. By the end of the week, I will have worked at the non-flake preschool all five mornings, and taught about ten lessons at Guitar Center, and jammed (music) with my buddies (this afternoon).
I am happiest when I'm busy. Last night I was too pooped to do much MyLotting. But I'll be able to get back in the swing of things Friday afternoon and over the weekend. And for @Vandana7 and others who share my joy in teaching a blind girl ukulele, yes, I got to work with her yesterday. I challenged her and taught her her a three finger chord, G-major. I hope she practices it!
I hope you have a good day. And yes, @Maluse, I admit to being a product of Puritanical American culture. I am happiest when I'm busy. It's in our Constitution, I think. Or some other fancy document. "...the pursuit of happiness."

I´m lazy at this time of my life. But I applaud when I do anything. Right now, Juanita, the washing machine, is washing the terrace covers. I took them out. And 2 days ago I washed (Juanita did) two loads of assorted garments.
And I gave Luna her breakfast (human food) and watered the terrace plants.

@TheHorse I believe Juanita is her maid who loves to wash everything...

@BarBaraPrz Horse is right. Juanita is my washing machine. I don´t have a maid now. And Leticia, my maid and friend, named her several years ago. Leticia was very happy with her help so she baptized her

Most people are happiest when doing something. Good for you, even though I suppose this means you might not totally and arbitrarily make your total and arbitrary myLot goal this month.....

@vandana7 — you know, I’m disappointed in you and me. Neither of us replied, “What do you mean, lately???” to Pony’s comment that he’s been a bad myLotter “lately.”

@TheHorse It's 1-800-DONTWORK. And remember to stick with it. It doesn't always work right away.

@MALUSE Hey, it is fine to be doing nothing if there is no stress of something urgent. Otherwise, mind is not really free, even if we are not doing anything physically. At least in my case. The only way I can do this is..list out to do things, and keep on striking off what I can do. There will always be some stubborn things that keep on appearing in the to do list seemingly forever, but my way of relaxing is clearing more tiny and doable ones to feel the list shorter.

So someday we can expect to see your protege at AGT.. :)
But delighted you got to teach her. May be you can record something by her, and we will put it up on net...
Quite likely she will be as popular as Mandy Harvey.

Real life should always come first, and you're doing things that make you very happy. Which is just as good. Life isn't worth living if you can't enjoy it.

Follow that path friend. If it's the one that makes you feel good, just enjoy it.

That was a marvelous review! You are doing a great bit by teaching Ukulele.
And yes you will bounce back in terms of activity on mylot

I'm glad you're still getting to work with the girl!
I drove by our local Guitar Center a couple of days ago and thought of you. I wonder if ours offers lessons as well, or is it just something you worked out with the one in your area?

I agree with all of that. You sound as if you are happy; and that's what counts. Don't worry about visiting us...we'll still be here. Have a wonderful day!
