Ennui the Eighth is in the building.
And so it goes.

been there, funny, right on!, well written
The cliche of a picture being worth 1,000 words is so true here. Thanks for sharing this image, Tom.
Thanks, Laurie. TTYL
Yup.
You are right, Tom. Not knowing what day of the week it is, is a real “thing”. Every day is much like another. Everything is blurring together. I’m grateful that I take certain exercise classes on certain days. That helps me keep track of time. Keep on writing…we know the stories go live on Saturdays!
Indeed. Part of the cycle of trash, laundry, pill box refill and so much more!
Oh, wow, how true, Tom. This is much more creative than my reference to Groundhog Day in my story, but same exact sentiment. I try to vary my breakfast menu and my exercise routines, but it still is boring. Not being much of a cook, dinner is driving me mad. The time creeps by, but how can it almost be August?
Strangely I find my regular routine comforting. So far. Maybe embracing the pandemic (at an appropriate social distance) is key.
Love this!😂😁😷❤️
Thanks, January. Especially pleasing given your, well, given name.
Eternuary and Blursday. That’s about right. Did you make this up or borrow it from somewhere else?
Eternuary is mine. Blursday comes from the west coast. I thought it was the invention of MD, who first used it, but in contacting her for permission to use it (yeah, my older son Charlie is an IP attorney so I have to be careful) she advised that she heard it elsewhere. I guess it’s now in the public domain.
Looks just like my date book!
Oh dear.
Perfect, Tom. I was going to mention “Blursday” myself — which, as you noted, one of our West Coast classmates shared with us — but I see you have already nicely incorporated it into your calendar. That said, how are we ever going to know again in what month it’s safe to eat oysters?
Thanks, John. Re oysters, just go for it. It’s like the Red Queen said: jam every other day. Today is not an “other day”. Eternuary is never a month where it’s unsafe to eat oysters.
In any case, eat dessert first, ya never know.
And second. Or seconds on firsts.
