Yesterday I was tired and took a nap around 4 pm. I woke up at 9pm. I realized I had to catch up on work that I missed because I took a nap. I started working and when I was done I looked up and it was after 9 am
I worked almost 12 hours overnight without realizing it. This weekend I am taking a break before I burn completely out. I have a new book to write that is so complex I'm sure people will wonder where I got the hubris, the very nerve to write it. I'm nervous about this book. I have some poems to complete, so in the end even though I'm taking a break and giving myself the weekend off, I'm still doing a form of work.

Someone showed me how this site looks on their computer and it looks so different from mine. I don't know how people can use the site with the menu closed because it's not easy to get around when it's not open. Here's a pic that shows how to keep the side menu open. otherwise you'll just see a left and a right screen.
I used to play a game with my younger relatives when they were teens where I would "guess" the number they were thinking. I would guess correctly without anyone writing anything down or telling me the number. One of my favorite cousins was so shaken by this, that she wanted to leave because she was very spooked as she thought I could read their minds. In reality, I used a simple math trick/equation to "guess" the number without them telling me their number. I turned it into an online game. Please feel free to enjoy and see if it will guess the number you are thinking of. I call it The Mentalist: https://neighbahood.com/games/thementalist.html
I created a children's ABC game for my Penelope's children's book and website. It is so adorable. The entire website, which I've had for years. I launched it in 2019 when I published the first children's book. I am so proud of it. And no AI art was used. My books predate its existence.

I remember making easy dinner cooking videos a few years ago. This was how to make an easy Chicago style pizza. I have part 1 and part 2. This is part 1.
My favorite Olympic sport to watch was always the ice skaters and gymnastics. I felt that the young man Sato should have won the gold, even if Malinin landed the backflip. He got the backflip, but he also slipped badly and missed his two jumps. So how was he stronger than Sato? Also, I feel that today's skaters are much slower and disjointed than skaters from twenty and thirty years ago but overall, beautiful performances by both:
Alex Morton Speakinng of backflips ... Soraya Bonham is the only female skater I ever saw who did one. It was declared illegal in the Olympics at the time because they deemed it too dangerous https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9V1WTX_veF4
E. Writer There was another skater whose flip was his signature move in the 90s. He was famous for it but i now can't remember his name.
Alex Morton Scott Hamilton
E. Writer Yes, I kept thinking Scott but couldn't recall the last name so I wasn't sure.
Roy Scarbrough The other day I took an afternoon nap and woke up at 6:30. I slept so hard I thought it was 6:30 a.m. I was ready to start my day. It's the way the sun sets and rises now at those two hours. Looks the same.
E. Writer I swear I have had that happen. My husband laughs every time. I'll say, "Is it morning?" and he'll say, "No, it's 8pm."
