Feb. 22nd, 2026 12:29 pmgaladhirI have just joined Bluesky, but it does seem to be very worthy and very focused on the big issues of real life, so I don't know how long I'll last over there.
I'm doing it again already, spreading myself too thin. That's it now. No other sites of social media allowed. I already know I can't keep up with one, let alone two. (Or three, in fact, since my non-writing real life friends and activities are all on Facebook.)

Not quite 365 days questions meme February
Feb. 21st, 2026 11:58 pmpattrose22. What is your favourite writing implement – a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, pencil or something else?
A friend of mine gave me a thick retractable pencil that is thick lead. It's a mechanical pencils. I've never seen one before but I love it. I mean a thick one. I can erase mistakes. Yay! But other then that I use a fine point gel pen. I have four different kinds. And I use legal pads like crazy. And there are post-it notes all over everything. It may be a weird system but it works. Oh the thick pencil is called Paper Mate Handwriting. For 5 of them and extra lead they cost 3.49. Can't beat that.p

2026 60 questions meme.
Feb. 21st, 2026 11:36 pmpattroseHow do you want to contribute your talents and passions to the world? Who could be touched by you, and how would it affect them?
I'm not sure about this one. My passions are very simple. I love doing fandom things all week. I also love working on my children's books. I have so much to do with them. There are six of them. I do have the art ready, but a lot of work still needs to be done on the stories. I need to make some time.
Who could be touched by you? Well, I believe the children will have the books read to them and that it will make a difference in their lives. My daughter told me that her 2-year-old carries one of my books around and recites it aloud. Her 8-year-old brother reads my first book to her every night. They both love it. You haven't a clue as to how happy that makes me. I hope that the children know how much love went into these books.
I love making moodboards for all different fandoms. I have more fun.

Feb. 21st, 2026 11:17 pmpattroseGoals For the Next Week:
Clean our walk-in closet. I’ve been talking about it for two months. I’m collecting things for the thrift center. There is so much to put in bags. It’s a charity that helps homeless people get back their lives. It’s one way of helping.
Dinner on Wednesday night with our daughter, Chris and her hubby. We’re going to a steak house. I can’t wait. I love filet mignon. Or maybe I might try the fish. I like to get shrimp or salmon.
Wednesday and Thursday are my days for watching Beverly. She's 89 and just needs a little help. I'm glad to do it. We have great discussions.
Thursday is a medical phone call. I sometimes miss them. I prefer appointments. I never forget them.
On Sunday, we’re having a nice dinner with my daughter and son-in-law. I’m making a new recipe for dinner and dessert. Thankfully I love cooking and baking. Oh that’s on the 1st. Tomorrow I’m making another new recipe for some friends of ours.
I’m getting my hair cut this week. I look frightful. 😂😂
That's about all I have going this week. I didn't mention chores that I do daily because they're boring. If I was rich I'd have. A housekeeper. I hate cleaning. I do it but hubby helps a great deal.
I hope you all have a good Sunday.
