As promised, things that I like:

1. Getting into clean sheets. A bonus points if my legs are freshly waxed......alas, no bonus points lately....

2. Spelling “definitely” correctly, the first time. Even spelling it close enough so that spell check knows what I am trying to say. 

3. This. Cresting Strachan hill and seeing the first hint of green on the trees. Makes me euphoric.

4. Spelling “euphoric” correctly. (Spell check did help me....)

5. A clean kitchen. Recently Ryan has taken over this duty and my kitchen is sparkling clean day and night. I love it.

6. Madonna falling down those stairs at the Brit Awards. I have never shared video on my blog but of you’re feeling a little blue watch this clip. Never fails to bring a smile to my face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx5IMCJFIMw

7. Ryan’s new beard. It. Is. Awesome. 

8. Completing the planting of all of my summer plant pots for my deck. Ironically, it makes me equally happy to dump aforementioned plant pots at the end of the season.

9. Road trips. Preferably with a cold beer.

10. An end in sight to isolating at home! 

Way more likes that dislikes.

A short list of things that really bother me....that are not Coronavirus related.....

1. Madonna. Every incarnation of her bothers me. Have you ever watched an interview with her? She is narcissistic, shallow, arrogant and not that smart. And I’m not sure what is going on with her face right now - Botox? Injections? It is awful.

2. Killer hornets. Really? Why? Who is responsible for this? Before you answer, I know, the Chinese. They seem to be responsible for everything! Ryan and I honestly had a dead one in the yard 2 years ago (we are actually arguing about whether it was 1 or 2 years ago or if it was still alive or dead) but it did traumatize me. It was incredibly big. Another insect to add to my long list of “Insects to Avoid”.

3. Uncomfortable bras. I know I lose 1/2 of my audience with this one but why is it so hard to design a comfortable bra. We can send a man to the moon but we cannot make a bra that you can comfortably wear for 8 hours? Oh the humanity! 

Okay, tomorrow 3 things I like.....
