It seems like many of my recent posts have been kind of downers so here are ten wonderful things...
- I'm working my way through this list of fabulous websites.
- Although I am sadly lacking in artistic skill, these pictures are amazing!
- Bored Panda is just a wonderful site full of interesting information.
- My boss today: "You are doing an amazing job, can you keep working for us for a while?" Me: "Of course!" Boss: "Fantastic!" Me: "Fantastic!"
- The unemployment office is moving at a glacial pace (three and a half years and counting!) on my pandemic unemployment claim, but I got a letter recently and it looks like my appeal for money that they said they overpaid me was successful so that is a good thing.
- This guy always has interesting projects. Breaking free from the industrial food system is something that I wish I could do!
- Three things that I avoid in order to be happier: the news, YouTube (so many negative click-baity titles to get views), social media (instead of having algorithms serve me up what they want me to see/read, I would rather search by topics that interest me).
- We have a tree full of apricots that are just beginning to turn from light green to orange. I love fresh apricots!
- My friend from India who just moved left me boxes of contents from her kitchen since they will be out of the country for a couple of months so I have been experimenting with currys and chutneys and products I've never seen before. So far, so interesting!
- Memorial Day weekend coming up so I hope you and yours have an enjoyable holiday weekend!
the Prudent Homemaker website has an awesome recipe for apricot/vanilla jam. I made it once and it was delicious. Have a nice holiday weekend.

I love her site, i will definitely check out that recipe.
DeleteHow wonderful to have a boss that appreciates you and says so. Fantastic! :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, very rare in this world so I appreciate the fact that he appreciates my work. So many bosses are unappreciative no matter how good your work is!
DeleteAs usual, you have interesting sites. I got stuck on #6, Robin Greenfield. I was surprised he was not looking for chicken as a meat he wanted or needed. And, I was surprised he was not looking for pecans. His work is lengthy, so I did not finish all he had. This is a chore for later. I hope he is not one of these people who can live on nothing because they ask others for what they need.
ReplyDeleteHe is inspiring, but I cannot bike everywhere. I really don't think I could give up bananas because they are not local. Another day, I can read more.
Thanks.
I too enjoy reading about unique people and lifestyles!
