So I am now officially back in news avoidance mode. The only way to make that work means avoid the phone, live tv and do something else. So it’s been work, bake, work, cook, and work clean this week. Not a bad thing at all at all.<\/p>\n
Here are a few of my favorites:<\/p>\n
What I am avoiding this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n is what is called Adulting. Have you heard of it? I personally think it’s a great phrase. Being a grown up has never been of interest to me. Being an adult has been necessary. Being able to “verb”alize it so that it becomes a function rather that a way of being. I’m sold. So I avoided bill paying, grocery shopping, errands and all that this week. It’s been nice. Too nice. I might actually feel like I have a moment for myself.<\/p>\n What I am watching:<\/strong><\/p>\n Live TV is under self-ban, so we are back on Netflix and watched the inaugural episode of The Umbrella Academy<\/a>. I like the irreverent comic and this has a FABULOUS cast and the first show had me smiling and laughing out loud. No. Really. I did.<\/p>\n The quote that sums it up for me in the now:<\/strong><\/p>\n “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” – Benjamin Franklin<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I am now officially back in news avoidance mode.
