Learn how to give a dam about schooling and attendance. I care now, but Is it too late? Also to stop drinking pop. I have not had a Cola since December 26 / 2021. If I had the choice I would never have started drinking the stuff.

Retirement. It’s a funny thing, but were it not for covid, I almost certainly would still be running that hamster wheel moaning and bitching about the requisite indignities that come with earning a living. In truth, I probably would have quit some 10 or 15 years back had working been one tenth the torture I made it sound. The wife treated those complaints with utter contempt.

I bought a waterpik.
I still floss. I am not sure if you are supposed to do both, but I figure it can’t hurt.

Well, there was that bill from the dentist.

I waited for Jesus to pay it, but he’s just into love & stuff.

I knew I wouldn’t like it as much as they did, but I only cried a little when I wrote the check. And yes, I’m better now.

Thank you.

I can list 3 things: Learn to play the piano, play the harmonica and dance smoothly.
If I had started when I was young the motions would look effortless. Now it is a struggle.
I still enjoy it but I’d enjoy it that much more. And would have more years to enjoy it.

The carpenter finished flooring my attic yesterday. It makes it much more accessible, easier to move around and gives me a lot more storage space. I should have done it when I moved here twelve years ago.

I converted my wood burning fireplace into a gas log fireplace last fall. I love it! So much cleaner and easier than wood.
Oh, and the company that did it was so easy to work with and so knowledgeable, I’m sure that made it even better.

Write my thoughts down reagardless of grammar or spelling errors as that slows down the creative process. Forget the naysayers who constantly correct ones writing.
It is important to get the creative thoughts down first without the unecessary worrying thoughts of not being perfect.
Editing process comes much later.
I am attending another Creative writing Course of which that messege of creatiing comes crystal clear.

Disc golf. I picked it up during Covid and wish I picked it up years earlier.

@filmfann Congrats on the Waterpik purchase! Let me know when you start using it for cleaning other things like: combs, plastic parts, sink nozzles, shower massage heads, etc. It is a fantastic tool!
And, yes, it does spray everywhere but who cares. Clean those things when you are about to take a shower.
Enjoy!

Walk on a frozen lake.

It was everything I anticipated and more. It was exhilarating. We had a dry winter so the ice was clear of snow. It was beautiful.
