One of Those Days / myLot

We all have some of those blah days where you just don’t feel right, and the day starts off wrong. I guess today is one of those days. I need to get out to get a few groceries, but I’m not sure I should be driving. So, I settled for beans for breakfast, which was a mistake. So that was a little unfortunate. But I’m not going to get into complaining mode. Today is senior game day at my dad’s house. They invite all the seniors from church over for lunch and they play board games. I like board games, but I have a time limit on how long I can sit at a table. They always have a good time, and I keep trying to get them to play 25 Words or Less (the board game), but they said it’s too fast paced (I got it for them a few years ago). I don’t think Ii could keep up with it either. How is your day going? Do you have a favorite board game?

Believe it or not, my favorite game is one no one wants to play with me - Monopoly.

I wonder why people don’t like to play it since it’s a classic.

So far so good except for the unfortunate burned cup. Oh well the electric bill after this one is going to be super high..but we already knew that due to the wacky heat situation and the fan that wouldn't turn off. I think I still have time to improve it a bit, and I have the money regardless. Why shouldn't you be driving? Order some groceries, if you don't feel like going out

Too dizzy to drive, and no money to order groceries online. I DO have cash, which is why I need to go in person.

Not too bad so far... My eyes are still dilated so it's hard to read myLot or my ebooks on my phone. Everything is fuzzy. We did stop on the way home and got breakfast at Hardy's... I got a breakfast sandwich and hash brown. Pretty only wanted hash browns. The food is okay, nothing special. When people used to come over, I loved playing Sequence. It's a quicker game but fun, just the same. I hope you feel better soon.

I would love to play 25 Words or Less with you

Senior Day at your dads sounds like a fun afternoon. I haven't played any board games in quite awhile. Mainly I like card games more

They play a lot of card games too. And it would be so fun if we got to play 25 Words or Less!

I had a good day with my niece at the museum and with lunch. Ooh, beans for breakfast? What a way to start the day! I guess my favorite board game is backgammon.

My parents would play Scrabble, and it would get comically competitive.

I hope you're feeling better today. I like word games the best. I used to play them on the computer. My hubby never wanted to play games with me.

I am having more of those kind of days than usual, but l have some kind of idea what is causing them. My favorite board games way back would have been Checkers and Snakes and Ladders.
