Month: March 2024

My favorite journaling is done on paper. I cannot search it as I could a blog but I find that I consistently can find information with relative ease. I use the Momento app for journaling privately on my phone. Just went back to review a day from 2023 and the pictures failed to load. I felt a loss at that. Similarly, links on the web die, youtube videos disappear, etc. I like how archive.org and pinboard.in keep cached copies of sites that I can return to. I wish WordPress had a similar feature. I’m a curator. While I appreciate the ephemeral, I prefer preservation. Is it the hoarder in me? I prefer to think of it as the historian in me. I began journaling because I didn’t want to lose memories. Ah, but that’s living in the past! No, that is appreciating where you came from. Reading the letters I wrote to my daughter when she was born brings tears to my eyes. I wish I had not slacked on that practice. Oh! There it is. Found the note I was looking for in my paper techo. Time to write some notes in my paper journal.

You know you need coffee when you just pour the beans directly into your cup.

I’m making an effort to return to heathy eating and snacking. Salads are delightful!

I just learned when Pet Smart has one of its dog training classes it is really fun to to have your laser pointer with you.

PSA: If you have the Venmo debit card or Venmo Mastercard, you can go into the app, click the picture of the card, and temporarily disable it. If you are not activately using the card, temporarily disable it and save yourself the hassle of disputing charges.

The cat alarm does not appreciate being snoozed. Also, the cats need to coordinate with the dog because if the dog is going to lay on my feet, wake-up will be delayed.
