Looking back, trying to recall details, has been an interesting exercise!</p><p>My high school was a fairly small private school outside Boston (my graduating class was 62 students, for reference), and at least in the mid-80s, felt very strongly that all its students would go on to college (aka university: I at least tend to use the terms to mean the same thing). I had no idea what I wanted to do (isn't that <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/03/a-book-rec-and-about-me.html">a theme</a>, hey?), so I was politely resisting the pressure. I guess that was part of my teenage rebellion? All I remember is that I didn't see the point, so why bother doing all the work of searching and applications. Funny story, my mother remembers them calling her in to discuss it with her--bless her, her response was why force me?</p><p> You know, I'm a pack rat, I may still have the list I clipped out of the school paper, which said where everyone was going, and my line read:</p><blockquote><p>C_______ R____ did not apply.</p></blockquote><p>Ha! Sounds as if they were washing their hands of me. But they didn't quite. Like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, they found a boarding school in England that was looking for not-quite-exchange students to attend. <i>I wonder why they were?</i> My school suggested that this was something I could do, though again, <i>why did that make them feel better about me not trotting off to college?</i> I guess at least they wouldn't have to say I went from their hallowed halls to work in a McDonald's.</p><p>It's funny to look back on the facts, at least as I remember them, and wonder now about the reasons why...</p><p>I flew to London in the spring of 1986, so that the school and I could have a look at each other. You know, I see no reason not to name it: <a href="https://www.benenden.school/">Benenden School</a>, which is in the countryside in Kent, south of London. And if you're wondering what kind of place it is, just know that when I did an online search for it, it suggested the question, "What royals went to Benenden School?" (For the British royal family, btw, the answer to that is Princess Anne, well before my time.)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVSTO6ctHSA22zYJ2NqyfrMUdh3JpNgEtee4-k_rfnSNiYjKzZcZIVL_P8_wfXLTRFsK3N2DNV7q-DFz9BML015MnR2_loiq640hp1wALjDFXeuvzsrY4zY8kEiWxSfb8WGCDfWOyLPm8M8ge1hNaaxxUMmJaHyN9dEyxbzAsBJANc9-uqAME1PA/s4000/20240312_132952.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVSTO6ctHSA22zYJ2NqyfrMUdh3JpNgEtee4-k_rfnSNiYjKzZcZIVL_P8_wfXLTRFsK3N2DNV7q-DFz9BML015MnR2_loiq640hp1wALjDFXeuvzsrY4zY8kEiWxSfb8WGCDfWOyLPm8M8ge1hNaaxxUMmJaHyN9dEyxbzAsBJANc9-uqAME1PA/s320/20240312_132952.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>But I'm getting ahead of myself. The school and I agreed that we liked each other well enough, and in September, my mother and I flew over to get my trunk fitted out, metaphorically speaking*, with all the uniform requirements at Peter Jones (a department store, in US terms), the list for which had much amused us over the summer. (I wonder if I kept that list, as well?) I can bring a tuck box, can I? Oh, and I should pack a cagoule, should I?</p><p>*<i>We had actually packed a trunk** full of the things from home that I thought I would want/need, and sent it across the ocean on a boat, which I thought was so crazy. But the uniform itself we had to shop for in London.<br />**I kept that trunk until I moved to Florida six years ago. It made a good coffee table!</i></p><p>There were two other Americans there when I was, one in my year (six-one) and one who got put in the year above us (six-two). But there was no American enclave: different years and/or different houses meant I was immersed in Norris House first, six-ones second. The six-ones had a hallway of little studies, so we did mingle there, and weren't only reliant on our shared dorm rooms for our stuff, as you can see.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOsuwoJK8nAaPJljSHiZpOWdvm7r7BGAYwUoDQXP77HJl5CEQiftixgCeSaUmHgIZNG664Xs8NhZFxUyCAkC46xdFVOXROMVwHUVElBn_hPioShu2GIXd3G0qkYywgx0MlXtrd6qxF_IdtSVUaEamCX0Du7mA0sQu44u95UA8LlmDpnKK-6Nm5w/s4000/20240312_132801.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOsuwoJK8nAaPJljSHiZpOWdvm7r7BGAYwUoDQXP77HJl5CEQiftixgCeSaUmHgIZNG664Xs8NhZFxUyCAkC46xdFVOXROMVwHUVElBn_hPioShu2GIXd3G0qkYywgx0MlXtrd6qxF_IdtSVUaEamCX0Du7mA0sQu44u95UA8LlmDpnKK-6Nm5w/s320/20240312_132801.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>I spy with my little eye ... the Bruins, Depeche Mode, Calvin & Hobbes, Swatch watches, books...<div><br /></div><div>In the dining room, we sat by house for one meal a day (was it lunch, was it dinner? I think it was dinner), and the tables rotated so no one house complained about their spot. When I was leaving, I encouraged my friends to lift one of the blocks for me, a possession I still treasure. Whoops, here I am, admitting to the theft! I hope the statute of limitations has passed. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirW_GXBWaB2BQlwzsbKIUW3HfCL8B7UlQm80iEU2-Lz0KilCciCieTu0qS_2YGo7dpJUVH0tN8p40_7Y0z3mw0Y0vVXOHedPP4ybR6-4R9H9PmeSzpJEkz0BRpbVjlX7s88kHq4g-xIFoJFGrRjf9bzeymN6L0wG7Emx3fuKoZA9zHhEdV5aZkLw/s4000/20240312_125444.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2238" data-original-width="4000" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirW_GXBWaB2BQlwzsbKIUW3HfCL8B7UlQm80iEU2-Lz0KilCciCieTu0qS_2YGo7dpJUVH0tN8p40_7Y0z3mw0Y0vVXOHedPP4ybR6-4R9H9PmeSzpJEkz0BRpbVjlX7s88kHq4g-xIFoJFGrRjf9bzeymN6L0wG7Emx3fuKoZA9zHhEdV5aZkLw/s320/20240312_125444.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><i>But what was it <b>like</b></i>, you are probably wondering. It was overwhelming to me, and even with the shared language, the culture shock was considerable; I was badly homesick. Plus, I was both a fairly sheltered, not quite 18-year-old who had essentially been an only child since my brother moved out, and had been gaining independence, driving myself to school for a year, going into Boston with friends, etc. Suddenly I'm sharing a room (the first term I think my dormie had five of us? all ages), following so many rules, "cabined, cribbed, confined" (to quote Macbeth) .... it was a lot of change!</p><p>One of the first days I was at Benenden, a teacher saw me going upstairs and asked where I was going. I said I was going to my dorm room, and she said we weren't allowed to go to our rooms during the school day. I was baffled. Because I had to figure a lot of things out by guesswork, and I didn't always guess right. I came from a mixed-gender high school where most of my friends were boys, and we had no uniform, and I was plunked down into this:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ljHqoiDQ8WeNhwXZ8a2Sm2nSycAJZHWyv7u0FMITzstYuOTePWDwmOpHKYh7nHn9SvDILh7ezBLYPOC4lvTbsvjYUuO85Bsj03d_thbkeX594ubuaNwlXlRuxTMQ3PrIHgeoH9gJXTTPR9Ro_o-CAYHjHSqOl5vaBe6iOJw6EKiRt_fm3xA8ag/s3787/20240312_122140.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2414" data-original-width="3787" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ljHqoiDQ8WeNhwXZ8a2Sm2nSycAJZHWyv7u0FMITzstYuOTePWDwmOpHKYh7nHn9SvDILh7ezBLYPOC4lvTbsvjYUuO85Bsj03d_thbkeX594ubuaNwlXlRuxTMQ3PrIHgeoH9gJXTTPR9Ro_o-CAYHjHSqOl5vaBe6iOJw6EKiRt_fm3xA8ag/w400-h255/20240312_122140.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>My treasured school photo! Can you pick me out? (So hard to get a photo of it without reflections on the glass! Is there a trick to that?)<br /><p>In fact, the year <i>after </i>I was there, my two closest friends, who were still there for their six-two year, sent me a booklet the school had put together with various rules and guidelines, and I was incensed: where was this when I needed it last year! All that time I spent reading notices on bulletin boards, trying to figure out how things worked...when the assumptions each side doesn't realize they are making don't align, it's grinding-gears time.</p><p>So, yeah, it was certainly an experience, and not one I regret having, but a lot of my memories are of frustrations and feeling in over my head. I was more comfortable going up to London for the half-term break than I was navigating the school at times! And I still shudder to think about how I was dropped in a classroom full of younger girls to supervise their prep period (aka homework) without the slightest idea how to (or, as it turned out, the ability to) maintain order. But then there are better memories:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>my two friends, who I'm still in touch with today (thank you, FB), and memories of going on walks, playing very loosely scored tennis, climbing trees, writing stories--one of my friends wrote a fabulous story that both was and wasn't about us, and I so wish I had a copy of it</li><li>classes that went into subjects in much more depth than I was used to, so that we first read through Measure for Measure without stopping, then went through it again stopping constantly to discuss meaning; or read the prologue to the Canterbury Tales, olde English and all; or introduced me to art history or sewing or piano or or or, so much more (including acting in productions of The Snow Goose and of another play whose name escaped me, in which we had to be the least convincing middle-aged Englishmen chatting over their drinks ever [with watered-down Coke for Scotch])</li><li>the thrill of getting letters from home; was mail ever better?</li><li>turning 18! feeling both so grown up and not at all grown up</li></ul><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXge7xXjJcGz9MCtayna3DxqTWEUQ2DD_q8la6bnvNoXSo-xNLwmMuJFJc3vsASx3JT7ptdYFJmaRiIT__oUijgST4Lc7SnCyH_uP-QxICSXKMiY_hT3R-4IwXCRAIH-AUXRyRRjRteNqLwn5sIuRZWMRHOnydqD-UyOzSklWHYLDgzIqKzwIVug/s4000/20240312_132655.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXge7xXjJcGz9MCtayna3DxqTWEUQ2DD_q8la6bnvNoXSo-xNLwmMuJFJc3vsASx3JT7ptdYFJmaRiIT__oUijgST4Lc7SnCyH_uP-QxICSXKMiY_hT3R-4IwXCRAIH-AUXRyRRjRteNqLwn5sIuRZWMRHOnydqD-UyOzSklWHYLDgzIqKzwIVug/s320/20240312_132655.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I went back to visit a year later, seeing the school afresh after a year at UMass (yes, I finally decided I might as well go to school and put off getting a real job, and wasn't that experience a huge change from this one).

Can anyone explain to me why toothbrushes labeled "soft" are in fact not at <i>all</i> soft? My mouth is definitely a delicate one, and the new brush that I just got at the dentist's a few weeks ago, which claims to be soft, is so firm (by my standards, at least) that it's painful. And this isn't the first time I've experienced that!</p><p>Are the ones labeled "extra soft" or "ultra soft" actually any better?</p><p>I'm tempted to buy one that's labeled "firm" because I just can't believe they're that much harder. How can they be?</p><p>Please weigh in.

I don’t think outside circumstances affect what I read, though.</p><p>2) Do you have a TBR? Do you stick to it?</p><p>I keep lists of books that are coming out soon, to request from the library, but I don’t do any of the challenges or top lists. Sometimes I’ve read about a book, sometimes someone mentions it and it sounds appealing, so I pop off to @mazon and read the sample, to get a taste of it… it’s kind of random, actually, and I often don’t remember by the time I get it where I heard about it.</p><p>3) Do you cry reading books? If so, what books have made you cry?</p><p>Almost never really cry over a book, though I might tear up a little. </p><p>4) Do you use reading to escape, learn, or critically reflect?</p><p>Escape, definitely, that’s the main one. To learn sometimes. I don’t think I ever pick up a book to be critical.</p><p>5) What is a book that made you laugh out loud?</p><p>Ummm, nothing is coming to mind.</p><p>6) What is a book that you don't really know how to feel about?</p><p>Hmmm. The problem with this question for me is that I don't generally finish books I'm not enjoying in some way, and since I don't keep a list of DNFs, it's hard to call one to mind. I guess I'll go back in time to a book I used to own, and read multiple times, despite not liking the protagonist at all. It's called The Travels of Maudie Tipstaff by Margaret Forster, and Maudie is a bitter, narrow-minded person but yet I read the book! More than once! Why? I can't answer that.<br />P.S. I ordered a copy to read again, so we'll see what I think of it now.</p><p>7) Are you more likely to read on a sunny day or a cloudy day?</p><p>Weather doesn’t matter. I read, period.</p><p>8) Do you usually "set the mood" when you read? Candles, lights, etc.?</p><p>Nope. I want to be comfortable, and that might lead to a blanket on my lap (which often leads to a cat on my lap), but no mood-setting required.</p><p>9) Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between books?</p><p>I wouldn’t say I need buffer time, but sometimes I want a buffer between similar types/styles of books. If I just read a great book with dragons, say, then I might not pick up another book with dragons to be next.</p><div>Any follow-up questions? Or want to answer any or all of them yourself? Have at it!</div>ccr in MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455195.post-65213588204057155862024-03-11T16:30:00.001-04:002024-03-11T16:30:00.130-04:00A Book Rec, and About Me<p>This isn't a full book review, but I just read <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735720/the-beginning-of-everything-by-jackie-fraser/">The Beginning of Everything</a>, by Jackie Fraser, and really enjoyed it. Not sure where I read about it, but it's a novel set in Wales that's kind of a romance but not completely, and with protags in their 40s, which was a nice change from the young ones, <i><b>and </b></i>I really liked the writing: more than once I stopped to read a bit aloud to myself. Two thumbs up.</p><p>As a side note, I'm really in a reading period! It's funny to me how it goes in waves, where I'm not reading much, or only re-reading, or reading/re-reading bits but not finishing books, and then there's a time like this, where I devour one after another*. Does that happen to you?<br />*<i>Still not the book club book, though, so I told my friend to take me off the list. No point in feeling pressured to read what I don't want to, even if I'm the only one putting on any pressure!</i></p><p>~~~~~</p><p>Anyway! When I described myself in passing as an English major, Nicole said she hadn't known that about me, and Kyria also asked for more info, so hey, always glad to talk about myself!</p><p>I did not go to college (UMass Amherst) knowing I would be an English major or having any plan beyond choosing to go rather than get a job (and this after already putting things off for a year by taking an opportunity to do a year at a boarding school in England). In hindsight, of course, it was obvious: as a high school senior, I had to get permission to take three English classes at once, which apparently no one at the school had ever wanted to do before. </p><p>English classes were certainly my favorite at UMass--I wrote a killer paper on the Critical Response to Winnie the Pooh for a children's lit class, and the lexicography* class was awesome. But practical? Not so much.<br />*<i>dictionary-making</i></p><p>So once I had my English degree, what did I do with it? Well, worked in bookstores for some years (an independent in MA, then Barnes & Noble in NC). I finally had enough of retail and started working any old office job* I could get, still not knowing what I wanted to do.<br />*<i>My supervisor at one job saw me in the break room, trying to read the first H@rry P0tter** book in French and, when I explained why***, asked not unkindly, "What are you doing here?"</i><br />**<i>I absolutely hate what the author of those books has shown herself to be, but the books were a big part of my retail experience.<br />***I was trying to brush up my very-basic-level French, so thought I would try material I was familiar with.</i></p><p>...I may have gotten a little carried away with nesting footnotes there. Let's break it up with a photo. Have you ever noticed the big old bookcases in the background of one of my photos? Those are from my B&N days. They are solid, and I love having the adjustable shelves (I have these two and two others). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgcJC0SFylFMGHJFC3ehZvTnIDEyGRiZVzXhcWoUOpWDe2_biSfxUQ1jXReuIzEcbH3FWc2EG5zYJ78eTdnKAqmu2nh-Vv1tPFA4qNeSfx4O_vvZMpSsO-W3TcQGX555nhDyv1XlclzJYDghNKYrKGmetg12q_h5jF2PWgTkOk7-8NaMX1udOYg/s4000/20240311_125058.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgcJC0SFylFMGHJFC3ehZvTnIDEyGRiZVzXhcWoUOpWDe2_biSfxUQ1jXReuIzEcbH3FWc2EG5zYJ78eTdnKAqmu2nh-Vv1tPFA4qNeSfx4O_vvZMpSsO-W3TcQGX555nhDyv1XlclzJYDghNKYrKGmetg12q_h5jF2PWgTkOk7-8NaMX1udOYg/s320/20240311_125058.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>For that matter, the Oxford English Dictionary there at the bottom, all 20 volumes? Also bought that when I was at B&N. The OUP had a sale and with my employee discount, it was almost reasonable. Fun fact: I was on the phone with my oldest friend and said, guess what ridiculous English-major thing I bought and she instantly said, the OED.<br /><p>All right, so, I moved back to MA, and signed up with a temp agency. The job I got was at a medical device company, the diabetes division of Abbott Labs, and while it wasn't an editorial position, I was in the process of transitioning to their label editor position a year later when the company announced that they were moving the business to California. Whoops! Layoffs!</p><p>I didn't want to move, but I did stay with them for another year during the transition, and then got what I suppose was my first "real" editing-type job, as a proofreader for an educational company. Three years later, whoops, layoffs! </p><p>My next job was called labeling coordinator, with a dental implant company, and wasn't officially a proofreading/editing job, but I was known as someone who could look over your thing if you needed another set of eyes on it. </p><p>I left that job, which was increasingly oddly run*, for a temp proofreading position at a publisher, then back to the educational company as a temp for more proofreading, and then got an editorial job at a company that made training material for pharma sales companies. And eight months later, whoops, laid off again!<br />*<i>Oh, the turnover was crazy there at the end</i></p><p>At this point, I had enough editing experience, and at enough medical-associated companies, that I was hired at my current company as a medical editor (I like to say that I'm not a medical person, but I have a good amount of familiarity with it for an English major). I was there for two years and left for a job at a small company that was expanding after being bought by a larger one; the role was deep-level content editing. A year later, the bigger company pulled the plug and, yes, laid us all off. Sigh. That's four times.</p><p>I did look around for another job, but the boss where I had worked asked if I would come back, and sweetened the deal by offering work-from-home, and I was hooked. Happily for my sanity, when I was getting ready to move myself to FL to be with Mom, I asked if they would let me work from here, and they said yes. Hooray for not having to job search on top of an interstate move! I complain a lot about work, but there are ways that they are really good--that's one of them, and also that my boss allowed all the flexibility that I needed for Mom last fall, too. </p><p>Not that I won't ditch the job the minute I win big in the lottery, but who wouldn't, right?</p><p>So that's the work history side of the English-major thing. On the personal side? Well, there's the OED. There are my bookshelves full of books, and my marked-up, written-in books from high school:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_XVWTtMQa8k0uECbS3nGXQkTBaUhIgZ9hAl4ul2iAPJgPBAccTMNDrGsUbwSKr5BGrGAF_mwt5XaTva3bifcTV1vnHSdKWa1vb6VxFHlOtjUhLXU0h9nGBa7vYEiDL3HJQMD7N5B4d2xVd-5wX2HB8_ptFiil4w0s9YInrHjruU7RQNbsJfm_w/s4000/20240311_131036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM_XVWTtMQa8k0uECbS3nGXQkTBaUhIgZ9hAl4ul2iAPJgPBAccTMNDrGsUbwSKr5BGrGAF_mwt5XaTva3bifcTV1vnHSdKWa1vb6VxFHlOtjUhLXU0h9nGBa7vYEiDL3HJQMD7N5B4d2xVd-5wX2HB8_ptFiil4w0s9YInrHjruU7RQNbsJfm_w/s320/20240311_131036.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>There's my inability to read so much as a restaurant menu without noticing double-spacing between words.

No judgement, I swear! It's not for everyone, fine and valid. But if you look at it and think, <i>oh, interesting</i>, then I do recommend it. <br /><p></p><p>I will note that the author is not strongly pushing that a woman wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford; I almost feel the title is a bit of click-bait, since the was-it-a-woman argument is probably the least developed. But she did a lot of research and talked to a lot of people on multiple sides of the argument (there's only "both sides" if you simplify it to yes-William and no-William, but there are a lot more sides than that once you're in), and I found her writing compelling me to agree with the no-William side, though not 100% convinced for any of the choices she presents. If I had to pick one, I would probably go with Christopher Marlowe, but is that just because he was the last one she digs into? Maybe?

(This is not a spoiler, as it's part of the initial description that they wind up within the play.) I liked Selby, even if I didn't relate to her (I mean, how much <i>could </i>I relate to someone who hates reading? though I appreciated the distinction she makes between <i>reading </i>and <i>stories</i>): she's written very believably, and her voice and attitude come across strongly. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPFxjxI2K_-T9qL6poR2nbwrMFfqanHM6RIT8UZBOmmtauIpZAWCxr8FLrZaeVJvu-m3wBRw627B_UwHgLTxboE58daacapXqCNmdRuUncUYejoBaf98_rN7m08xnQrJ54jbBPmv5EtNYjnxid5V-AJuWT1S792PbA1bWPQpFlUGBQ20TPRr_Jw/s873/IMG_1031.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="873" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCPFxjxI2K_-T9qL6poR2nbwrMFfqanHM6RIT8UZBOmmtauIpZAWCxr8FLrZaeVJvu-m3wBRw627B_UwHgLTxboE58daacapXqCNmdRuUncUYejoBaf98_rN7m08xnQrJ54jbBPmv5EtNYjnxid5V-AJuWT1S792PbA1bWPQpFlUGBQ20TPRr_Jw/w400-h344/IMG_1031.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><p>Also, the implausible plot is handled very plausibly, if that makes sense.

Do you think you would have noticed if you hadn't read them one after the other? It's not quite the same thing, but I used to read a lot more mysteries, until I hit a long string of serial killers and just got fed up with it.<br /></p><p><br /></p>ccr in MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455195.post-11122758774658376032024-03-06T16:45:00.002-05:002024-03-06T16:48:51.162-05:00Book Review: In the Society of Women (Ladies Occult Society Book 3) <p>I mentioned in a <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/01/after-holidays-little-looking-back.html">post after the holidays</a> that I had read some good new-to-me books:</p><blockquote><p>...the last two that I read in 2023, in the Ladies Occult Society series, A Magical Inheritance and A Ghostly Request, by Krista Ball--it's basically Jane Austen but with magic, and so so so well done. I can't recall the last character I was rooting so strongly for, and please tell me at once if you read them because the third book comes out March 1 and I am really hoping for a scene where Elizabeth gets to tell her father, in front of others, just why she (redacted redacted spoilers argh).</p></blockquote><p>These books are SO good, and I was very excited for the third one. I re-read the first two, a little nervous that I was overselling them in my own mind, but no, just as good.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpmpWJ0aJ6grSbsx1S_zeAOXSMOMvRjqzeIhJayPW6FLn9b4Ho6wKLHCp7fjpCg8kAa9gkvgOCjBBt1e2zqJlrdXqpHW1YFqdIkTEiZ86pfqFQKmikxT_a7iMBIS90-0p0RMES9jV5JsRUVY_CTG6sKSntDYD8PdbnIeil2-pkpRo02A5oS0Yxyw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="425" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgpmpWJ0aJ6grSbsx1S_zeAOXSMOMvRjqzeIhJayPW6FLn9b4Ho6wKLHCp7fjpCg8kAa9gkvgOCjBBt1e2zqJlrdXqpHW1YFqdIkTEiZ86pfqFQKmikxT_a7iMBIS90-0p0RMES9jV5JsRUVY_CTG6sKSntDYD8PdbnIeil2-pkpRo02A5oS0Yxyw" width="272" /></a></div>I raced through the third, eager to find out What Happens*, and then it ended and I said, oh. <b>Oh.</b> This is not a three-book series.

I was getting more and more into knitting, and was inspired by the blogs I was reading.</p><p><b>What was your first blog post about?</b> I wanted a place to talk about knitting and yarn, and show my cats, and talk about whatever was on my mind. In that first post, I mentioned being inspired by Crazy Aunt Purl--Laurie doesn't blog anymore, though I follow her on Instagram--and the Yarn Harlot, who practically doesn't blog anymore either. So many good blogs have come and gone! I actually delved more into the why of it in the <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2006/08/to-blog-or-not-to-blog.html">second post</a>.</p><p><b>What is your most used label and why?</b> I don't know! I used to use them more, and then I wasn't using them for a long time, and now I'm trying to remember to use them. But I don't see anywhere they are listed in Blogger for me to get that info. If anyone can tell me where to find that, I'd be glad to update.</p><p><b>What is your most viewed post? And why do you think this is the case?</b> Ummm...tough question! (I dug out my password for Statcounter, since I vaguely remembered using that, but it doesn't seem like helpful info. Or complete, for that matter.) Poking into Blogger some more, it looks like my most popular post is still the one I did in June 2007 where I detailed <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2007/06/crocheting-dish-scrubbies-101.html">how I crochet dish scrubbies</a> out of nylon netting, which shows as having 4.9K eyeballs on it (not eyeballs really, I suppose they mean views, how boring). That got linked on some sort of crafters site and was my first what-just-happened blog moment. It has since calmed down, but still gets visits, apparently. Huh.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtHC137nlI7XolwhOSD77rZ0EjzSYIwHZtT1U1ajb6BSlp43QRWxvO7B-EY8h6-1AXiDrUlBIJB_0TYC0VY7ZWWDslW-ze3S9pHPw1ELZ0Etl8dCBhiN58gHY4hSqINGzK8Z-owEfGlteCJViywViGpM42EFp77kN_we7lTn0SBlPTP-8e_-7cCw/s1377/Screenshot%202024-03-01%20112849.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="451" data-original-width="1377" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtHC137nlI7XolwhOSD77rZ0EjzSYIwHZtT1U1ajb6BSlp43QRWxvO7B-EY8h6-1AXiDrUlBIJB_0TYC0VY7ZWWDslW-ze3S9pHPw1ELZ0Etl8dCBhiN58gHY4hSqINGzK8Z-owEfGlteCJViywViGpM42EFp77kN_we7lTn0SBlPTP-8e_-7cCw/w640-h210/Screenshot%202024-03-01%20112849.png" width="640" /></a></div>I don't know how much to trust this data, though, since the second item on the list is a <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2012/08/amusement-in-spam.html">random post about email spam</a> that got no comments, and I don't know why it would have received 19.5K views!<br /><p><b>Do you answer comments on your blog? If so, what method do you use (email, post on blog)?</b> I used to reply by email, assuming the commenter had given an email address, but last year I enabled the reply-to-comments feature and now I mostly reply within the comments section. This will probably mess with my page views and comment counts, but then, I don't closely track either of those things, so oh well.</p><p><b>Do you go back to see if a blog post that you commented on got replies? If so, how do you keep track?</b> I have it set up so that comments are emailed to me. I keep the emails in a folder in case I want to refer to something.</p><p><b>What blog that you still read now have you read the longest?</b> <a href="https://yarnharlot.ca/">The Yarn Harlot</a> still blogs, technically, but not very often. Goodness, it's depressing to look through Feedly and see all these defunct blogs! I wonder how long I've been reading <a href="https://www.love-and-hisses.com/">Love & Hisses</a>? Many years, anyway, and it's good for some great kitten and cat content. And I've read Alison's knitting blog, <a href="https://spindyeknit.com/">SpinDyeKnit</a>, for many years as well. From the Cool Bloggers group, probably <a href="https://ngradstudent.blogspot.com/">NGS</a>? Maybe? </p><p><b>Do you post on other forms of social media regularly?</b> If so, where? I post a lot of photos on Instagram, mainly of the cat and yarn/knitting, but also more general pictures. Some of them go on Facebook too, where I also write on other topics sometimes (not at length; that's what the blog is for!). I am trying to move from Twitter to <a href="https://bsky.app/">Bluesky</a>, but although I do like the latter, most of the "hockey people" I follow for NHL news have not moved there, so I still scroll the twits for that. Sigh. I want to not support the musk-baby at all, but I want my hockey news!</p><p><b>If you talk about people in your real life, do you use their real names?</b> Not usually, unless they are similarly online themselves. Mostly I use describers (my friend) or initials (my friend V) instead.</p><p><b>If you could get paid to blog no matter what you are writing about, what would your focus/theme be?</b> I can't think of anything I would want to write about that would be marketable! I enjoy my blog-whatever-crosses-my-mind style.</p><p>Any other questions?</p>ccr in MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455195.post-89171137960666479682024-02-27T17:00:00.001-05:002024-02-27T17:00:00.154-05:00Past Travel: Key West, September 2023, Part Five<p><i>For more about this series, see <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/02/past-travel-key-west-september-2023.html">Part One</a>; <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/02/past-travel-key-west-september-2023_01909205207.html">Part Two</a>; <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/02/past-travel-key-west-september-2023_25.html">Part Three</a>; <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/02/past-travel-key-west-september-2023_0621680338.html">Part Four</a>.</i></p><p>On our last morning in Key West, the group split up and people did different things.

The cabin was not as freezing cold as I feared it would be. We hung out and chatted and whatever. Some of the group spent much of the ride back at the bar, which is their right of course, although let's just say I was glad that they weren't driving, and I hope none of the other passengers who had clearly had a lot to drink were driving either. V's husband was there to drive the three of us home, and wow was I tired, so I was very glad not to be driving either.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here I will leave you with the remaining photo dump.

What I'm getting at is that I never fully wrote up that trip, just <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2023/09/im-fine.html">teased it</a>, which is a shame as I took a lot of, quite frankly, great pictures! So guess what, I'm going to do it now. Here we go.</i></p><p>We were a group of eight, and six of us were taking the Key West Express ferry out of Fort Myers Beach* To my great relief, one friend's husband was happy to drive three of us up there (the rest of the group went in a rented minibus). Leaving before the crack of dawn is never my favorite, but I was especially grateful not to be driving to an unfamiliar spot in the dark! By the time we were on the boat, the sky was just starting to lighten.<br />*<i>One was flying from her northern home, and another drove.</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihkeTSKsj_ZZ3heflwAnvZKUzpmzBSIxp8OLpOPrIlWMtgOgpMY9YnD6MbStGFHFuPqPFxQdY9X81m0luDtYMkhNdbiLYggNlKqnTwRE2hT_4LHK5idgOjg0ikcz5repzv_j5CNY9Ro3kJrLMqXqatiFlrc3Lc-sfsN-poI-neLFr5BYZHtmfS2A/s4000/20230918_065632.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihkeTSKsj_ZZ3heflwAnvZKUzpmzBSIxp8OLpOPrIlWMtgOgpMY9YnD6MbStGFHFuPqPFxQdY9X81m0luDtYMkhNdbiLYggNlKqnTwRE2hT_4LHK5idgOjg0ikcz5repzv_j5CNY9Ro3kJrLMqXqatiFlrc3Lc-sfsN-poI-neLFr5BYZHtmfS2A/s320/20230918_065632.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>Since I was taking these first pictures from inside, there were reflections from the lights, and sometimes streaks on the windows as well.

In my case, I am referring to my current plan to incorporate small amounts of stretching and movement into lost minutes of the day, what <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Bunker_Gilbreth">Frank Gilbreth</a> called unavoidable delay. I've been doing this online stretch class for a while now, 15 minutes at a time, three days a week, and it has me thinking about ways and times I can add movement to my day:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Filling my water glass: I drink a lot of water, and I like to use the ice and water dispenser on the fridge. It doesn't take that long, but I'm there a few times a day, so why not do calf lifts or bicep curls at the same time?</li><li>Waiting for the water to warm up in the shower: If no one has run hot water right before showering, it takes a minute or two to get warm in there. So why not move? I'm careful with the foot moves, as the water spreads around underfoot, but there are things I can do (holding on for safety--I'm too uncoordinated to take chances).</li><li>Microwaving food: Sometimes I go do something else that will take a minute, but if I'm just standing there, then stretch.</li><li>Waiting for the elevator, and riding the elevator--it's working, but it's not a fast-moving machine, so why not do some hamstring stretches?</li></ul><p></p><p>It isn't that I think this counts as exercise, but even tiny bits of movement are better than nothing. Right? </p><p>Maggie, of course, thinks that I should fill all moments of the day with tasks that are to her benefit. Including laps.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5LhXEVz2hYZhK5EobxvJiPv5k1QIdlCRJRzRxuE6ef4w-UvIa1u4vdJLiHA33iaL28828Y0LEWm_jn2zMfoqBAp_-oYlNfY6KVLLzbw1kYaE5I_Px5gAlzF2iXeUamUFXYyr9VUkCTKXa2PO480iql3a2MDKoA9jM1uGIOFtierBl09cP0vnz4Q/s4000/20240217_180624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5LhXEVz2hYZhK5EobxvJiPv5k1QIdlCRJRzRxuE6ef4w-UvIa1u4vdJLiHA33iaL28828Y0LEWm_jn2zMfoqBAp_-oYlNfY6KVLLzbw1kYaE5I_Px5gAlzF2iXeUamUFXYyr9VUkCTKXa2PO480iql3a2MDKoA9jM1uGIOFtierBl09cP0vnz4Q/s320/20240217_180624.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p><br /></p>ccr in MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455195.post-16884997928421682412024-02-19T20:51:00.001-05:002024-02-19T20:51:34.670-05:00Lookit! <p>Working on my shawl today, I had to switch to a larger needle, so while I had the chance, I spread it out somewhat.

It started as just the day Mom was to go back to the surgeon for final clearance. Then we decided we should go to Costco after, since it's right near the office. And once you're that far up, you're nearer to Trader Joe's than we usually get (it's only an hour away, but we just don't go that way that often). Then the doctor's office called last week to say they wouldn't have an X-ray tech in the office (again, sigh), so we'd need to get her X-rays done ahead of the appointment. At that point, I decided to take the day off work so I didn't have to fret about making up the time.</p><p>I slept until 8, <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/02/sleep.html">thank you eye mask</a>, and we left the house at 9:30. The X-rays were easy enough, and left us with enough time to get lunch and go through the car wash before the doctor. I went to get my knitting out of the car when we got there, and realized I had left it in the restaurant! Yikes, bad knitter. I left Mom at the doctor's and went back (fortunately, not far away) and got it again. After she got out, we did Costco, I ran into TJ's, we stopped for lottery tickets and to pick up library books, and finally got home around 4. Long day! When I was knitting last night during the Bruins game, I realized it was the fourth spot I'd been knitting in during the day--that has to be a new personal record. </p><p>******</p><p>Thank you all for the supportive comments on <a href="https://knit-read-cats-hockey.blogspot.com/2024/02/things-i-dont-need-to-know.html">my recent post</a> about needing some quiet; it really helps to feel less alone. I am trying to make more plans to get myself out of the house; even if I'm spending time with others, rather than alone, it will still be a good break. I belong to a Facebook group for women in my area, started last year I think, for when people are looking for someone to join them doing something, whether it's a show, a new restaurant, or just a walk on the beach. I proposed a coffee (and knitting, for me) meetup tomorrow morning, so that will be a nice change. </p><p>And there's nothing to keep me from sitting in my car for half an hour afterward, just being quiet, before I go home.</p><p>******</p><p><a href="https://ngradstudent.blogspot.com/2024/02/february-2024-library-loans-and-holds.html">Engie wrote about the books</a> she had out of the library right now, and I have my own little stack, so I thought I would share that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwMYwPGxt0yJ2dyOudANZyzJ8NIITH4PXzoqgS7M6WXlKHnKelTW5IzDlmhGre5m4baEqx4KK0CgF7K0ljjmQHg_mKkW_3YsaNqK_cczQYe3Omv-opAxiw1T3_2WBlz31NlF8SwdJEC1ok8nb1Lh8Tryep2auegfYH3nr1Wykln4_fauPQiseUpw/s3000/20240216_104330.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2177" data-original-width="3000" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwMYwPGxt0yJ2dyOudANZyzJ8NIITH4PXzoqgS7M6WXlKHnKelTW5IzDlmhGre5m4baEqx4KK0CgF7K0ljjmQHg_mKkW_3YsaNqK_cczQYe3Omv-opAxiw1T3_2WBlz31NlF8SwdJEC1ok8nb1Lh8Tryep2auegfYH3nr1Wykln4_fauPQiseUpw/s320/20240216_104330.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The top one, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/192786618-the-gentle-art-of-fortune-hunting">The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting</a>, is the only non-library book; KJ Charles was on a recent, very enjoyable author talk with three other authors I like, Martha Wells, T Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon), and Malka Older, so I figured it was about time I read one of hers! She mentioned this one <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/kjcharleswriter.com/post/3klji2kheft2x">on BlueSky</a>, I thought it sounds good, and while it isn't available direct in the US yet, the bookstore Blackwell's in the UK will ship it, and that was easy to do. I look forward to reading it.<br /><p>Next down is <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62645181">Where Peace Is Lost</a>, which my friend Mary Ellen recommended--she knows my tastes pretty well, so that's promising!</p><p>I think I heard about <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63103712-the-only-purple-house-in-town?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_29">The Only Purple House in Town</a> on BlueSky as well--I follow a few authors there, and so other authors tend to pop up in their conversations. This one sounds like a good found-family story.</p><p>Next up (or, rather, down), speaking of T Kingfisher, here's <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/127306440">What Feasts At Night</a>, the sequel to What Moves the Dead. That one wasn't my favorite of hers, hence going to the library for this one instead of buying it, but I did enjoy the first and have heard good things about the second.</p><p>Finishing off with two non-fictions, rare for me.

I've tried that some years back, but found it to be uncomfortable, in part because not being able to open my eyes was weirdly claustrophobic. But this one mentioned a specific mask that is deep enough that you can open your eyes; I pondered on it for a bit, then <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B4R2XLCK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details">ordered my own</a> to try.

So my most sincere thanks to her for gifting me extra sleep.</i></p><p>Here's my sleep situation: my bedroom is naturally on the dim side, since the one window, instead of facing straight outside, is on the breezeway near the elevator, so it isn't bright light even when the sun is strong. I have regular blinds, not room-darkening ones, so there's a little bit of light leakage there. Then the door has to be left ajar for cat purposes, which doesn't let in much light at night, but once it gets light out, there's definitely more coming in from the living/kitchen windows. </p><p>This time of year, it isn't light when I get up at 6:30 on work days, so that's not an issue during the week. On weekends, though, when I can usually sleep in, I have found that once I am aware that it is "late" enough to be getting light, my brain starts turning on, whether I want it to or not, and I can't get back to sleep. This has led to me grumpily getting up and looking at the time, and saying, <i>Well, at least it starts with a 7</i>. </p><p>With the mask, though? I woke up early Sunday morning, went to the bathroom, and put the mask on, and when I woke up again, it was 8:55. Almost 9 AM! Woo, so much sleep! Which I clearly needed. </p><p>My plan is not to bother wearing the mask on a work night, at least until it starts being lighter in the mornings. On nights when I can sleep in, I still don't need to wear it all night, since I wake up at least once and usually twice in the night (stupid bladder). So I'll put it on then, and block out that disturbing light, and hope that it goes as well as it did last weekend. I'll keep you posted.</p>ccr in MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455195.post-85377014720856501432024-02-13T17:00:00.001-05:002024-02-13T17:00:00.133-05:00Things I Don't Need to Know<p>I need to vent a little, things that come from frustrations living with my mother--I lived alone for a lot of years before I moved in with her, and I still miss some things about being on my own (except for cats).</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>In the morning, Mom often gets up after I do, and she will come out of her room to say good morning (which is fine), then go back in to take her blood pressure and so on (also fine). But every damned time, she announces that she's going to do her blood pressure and so on, and I don't care. I don't need to know. It doesn't need to be said. (Why, no, I'm not a morning person, how did you guess?)</li><li>When Mom and I are in different rooms, and she sees the cat heading my way, she will call out, "Incoming!" And honestly, I don't need to know that. The cat will get my attention on her own, every time. There is nothing I need to prepare. What am I supposed to do with that information? I asked her that once, and she said she just thought I wanted to know. My saying that I <b>didn't</b> has had no effect. (And somehow it seems incredibly petty to tell her again. I don't know, that doesn't make sense even to me.)</li><li>On nights when the Bruins aren't playing, we often turn on another hockey game. I enjoy having hockey on as background noise, but I am not following closely. I don't feel strongly about it. But if I leave the room, say to feed the cat, Mom will call updates to me. I don't care! I don't need to know that Ottawa scored, or that Carolina got a penalty. I. Don't. Care.</li></ul><p></p><p>Your turn: what do you not need to know?</p>ccr in MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16938353645353176255noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32455195.post-15737985077274158162024-02-08T16:34:00.003-05:002024-02-08T16:34:43.464-05:00Duck!<p>I got a new toy.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ubA4RBMgBz9WFg7KCU8H3iaR5w6r8xM37BcnxWN4-H1sXisIaXemQr5yKMQRfSF6gr9IQF2ZjfcDumRN1YdSKT-WgeVp73kKW4JE3fhTLK_n-p5_vG61AIUySE1uvEibzi5pDzoQuzoMVcCsPWlqRnKdUh6eVApNRn5-SXfeuAKhne95D1lFGA/s4000/20240203_173953.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ubA4RBMgBz9WFg7KCU8H3iaR5w6r8xM37BcnxWN4-H1sXisIaXemQr5yKMQRfSF6gr9IQF2ZjfcDumRN1YdSKT-WgeVp73kKW4JE3fhTLK_n-p5_vG61AIUySE1uvEibzi5pDzoQuzoMVcCsPWlqRnKdUh6eVApNRn5-SXfeuAKhne95D1lFGA/s320/20240203_173953.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>He has a trick.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVqsFVq79wISlr3BzNpc2S02Y6ZyNYD0NM8d9Ax0JRtuvRfkhto2ncebVC_-fvNLEOvdNBOo5sgu_i-By5D9fL8DD4VOkLrk3hBly9MdVkdUKfLPEIPPHxuIQ9bEmjmVJm-dJRY0blItVniG4rUPjSHDTgFI3HFfLIxsPmEnNJHvZA8BHpr71QQ/s4000/20240203_174016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinVqsFVq79wISlr3BzNpc2S02Y6ZyNYD0NM8d9Ax0JRtuvRfkhto2ncebVC_-fvNLEOvdNBOo5sgu_i-By5D9fL8DD4VOkLrk3hBly9MdVkdUKfLPEIPPHxuIQ9bEmjmVJm-dJRY0blItVniG4rUPjSHDTgFI3HFfLIxsPmEnNJHvZA8BHpr71QQ/s320/20240203_174016.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div><br /></div>One of my friends suggested naming him Duck-key.

I primarily (more on that below) use the Google calendar, and while my methods are not foolproof, the way I use the calendar as a running to-do list keeps me on better track than I would be without it.</p><p>Google allows me to create different "calendars" (what I would call categories) for events. I mostly use the general one, but some of my others include:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGag7Xqu-ROJLOFwUQ1G3YFS4VbetMQ5z1jPoySrGmdV1shRoXtDC8dgFr0VYK2ivM4sgNGmhFHI8DwxYI-8hSZ4kwmT8QrYq9dyytN8v6eF5zHmJZYmbEcPcFsOtGPili43iwwZDUiqqY29lt_oguHy2cEONVybCTmQTm4IAJR4K0kKs95-3xw/s212/my%20calendars.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="212" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGag7Xqu-ROJLOFwUQ1G3YFS4VbetMQ5z1jPoySrGmdV1shRoXtDC8dgFr0VYK2ivM4sgNGmhFHI8DwxYI-8hSZ4kwmT8QrYq9dyytN8v6eF5zHmJZYmbEcPcFsOtGPili43iwwZDUiqqY29lt_oguHy2cEONVybCTmQTm4IAJR4K0kKs95-3xw/s1600/my%20calendars.png" width="212" /></a></div>I track my exercise, such as it is: this is my way of giving myself stars, but also it lets me look back and, for instance, see that I was going to so few water aerobics classes that the membership was really not worth the cost for me. In health & head, I track days when I have a headache (that's a whole post to itself!) or when I start a new medication, that kind of thing. LR is my mother, for her appointments and so on. I find having these color-coded helps me see what's happening at-a-glance.<br /><p>I have some things set up as recurring events when they are really reminders to myself. Download my pay stubs or 401(k) statements, get a credit report*, back up the computer, that kind of thing. Change the water filter on the fridge--it's exciting stuff! Though sometimes it's more fun: since our local paper dropped a couple of comics I enjoyed**, I set up an entry with a link to <a href="https://www.gocomics.com/">go comics</a>, and every day I go look at those, then move the reminder to the next day.</p><p>*<i>In the US, at least, there are three credit reporting agencies, and you can get a <a href="https://www.annualcreditreport.com">free report</a> from each of them once a year. So I have annual reminders set for each one, four months apart, so I can keep on top of it if something weird shows up.</i></p><p><i>**I read the Boston Globe first, then (parts of) the Washington Post, but there are three comics that were in the local paper only, that now are not. Thank you, go comics!</i></p><p>Then there are the things I want to get to at some point, so I'll stick a reminder on the calendar because, especially these days, if I don't write it down, it's doubtful I will remember later*. These might get done on the day I first put them, or they might get moved along until they do get done. Call Summit about the phone acting up; write up blog posts about my September trip to Key West; block a shawl. </p><p>*<i>Especially true if I am trapped with a cat on my lap. Frequently heard around here: "Damn it, what was that thought I had?"</i></p><p>There are also things that don't move, like when library books are due. I mean, I guess that moves once I've returned what's due that day and have books due on another day, but you know what I mean. </p><p>As for other than Google, I generally have a to-do list of some sort going. Back in the day, when I worked out of the house, I would use this very basic template to keep an eye on my week and what I wanted to get done:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEppskBSHsWX5QIzRAHWX5EJmqIJwHPfPUQLgl6ugZhooGOImCcBgYlZHvFP8y0UyAzxET-k8ANocet9t22NTY9FKVkKY4Da6qFgVoMn5gxi4GuLA4mmUThzMRirmYQhKVwui1_NOPc-PZ4hM4IKbC4AR4LKYlwqsE5XV6sxZ3DFJjyKqYpMwqAA/s908/to%20do.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="908" data-original-width="701" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEppskBSHsWX5QIzRAHWX5EJmqIJwHPfPUQLgl6ugZhooGOImCcBgYlZHvFP8y0UyAzxET-k8ANocet9t22NTY9FKVkKY4Da6qFgVoMn5gxi4GuLA4mmUThzMRirmYQhKVwui1_NOPc-PZ4hM4IKbC4AR4LKYlwqsE5XV6sxZ3DFJjyKqYpMwqAA/w494-h640/to%20do.png" width="494" /></a></div>Things that needed doing at home (and specifically on the computer) or out, and room to note on the days of the week things that I planned. It worked for me, but became less necessary at some point, and I dropped it. <br /><p>A couple of years ago, Mom and I started using a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C77CYYV8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1">magnetic weekly calendar</a> to update each other on what was going on; we had a two-week rotation. I stopped using it when Mom fell last year, but then I needed something to keep myself on track, so I came up with this:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wcLm0RLzgY9cqr_9EErF391qcz-LV8yNFHMRye764W9qg1vVk1nNKmaF4ppE_JfWkRHMZBeW2LWT14ecUcTGQyzjvA4ExGeRSt_ygziBmDNwbDMgKCTko61Enme5VPBTzpnuvZi06ixUwr9e2lYPit4hoSTkiWP1WAXdMt_p6W7yy-Z0QxiOIw/s1021/week%20at%20a%20glance.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="663" data-original-width="1021" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wcLm0RLzgY9cqr_9EErF391qcz-LV8yNFHMRye764W9qg1vVk1nNKmaF4ppE_JfWkRHMZBeW2LWT14ecUcTGQyzjvA4ExGeRSt_ygziBmDNwbDMgKCTko61Enme5VPBTzpnuvZi06ixUwr9e2lYPit4hoSTkiWP1WAXdMt_p6W7yy-Z0QxiOIw/s320/week%20at%20a%20glance.png" width="320" /></a></div>That way I could note which evenings I planned to visit Mom, etc., with the last square being for to-dos. I have actually kept using this since then; I sometimes think I should go back to the ones on the fridge, but eh. I haven't.<br /><p>I also keep separate shopping lists: right now I have ones for Costco, Trader Joe's, and the grocery store. And sometimes if I'm going out and planning to do a bunch of errands, I'll make a list of those to take along, so I don't forget any.</p><p>Finally, I use my camera as a reminder all the time. If I want to look something up, or post about it on social media or here, I'll take a picture or grab a screen shot.</p><p>If you made it this far, congratulations, my fellow lover of minutia and the quotidian!
