not to be negative…

Sep 14, 2021

Being negative — negative thinking — is bad. Negative COVID test results are good. The Perrymeister’s test came back negative. Yippee! Ben is feeling pretty normal and Colette is getting better daily. I’ll get a test on Thursday and hopefully get a negative result too. My main concern now is simply how many more times I’ll have to mow this season.

Of course, I really have a whole bunch of other things that could be better. But focusing on or worrying about what you can’t change doesn’t help anything. If I could wave a magic wand and make events start happening again I’d already have tennis elbow. And if events were happening, I’d be the first in line to purchase the new iPhone 13 Pro Max with 1TB of storage ($1600.00), AND a new series 7 Apple watch ($499.00) that is set to come out later this fall. Did y’all watch the Apple event today? Just WOW!

TIL (Today I Learned): Cats can get whisker fatigue. Cat food and water bowls should be shallow enough that their whiskers don’t touch the sides to avoid the dreaded whisker fatigue — it’s adds extra stress for felines. (Another reason to have dogs.)
