Can't wait to start reading this series.

It took no time at all for my winter allergies to come back when the furnace came back on. 🤧

Thank you!

There is nothing like being awake at 7 am. when you don't have to be because the gas company is tearing up the next street over.

And only a couple months after being awake at 7 am because the gas company was tearing up your street.

Allergy season is the absolute worst this year. 🤧

So many bugs everywhere 😫

Silverfish are everywhere, and they are disgusting. Ugh

Thank you! So far, no luck getting any volunteers. We could look into the movers, as long as it doesn't cost too much.

We are in no shape to move a bed. I have been trying to figure out a way to move that bed from her nursing home to my house. So far, I have not come up with a solution.

I am looking for someone to help move the bed, and preferably someone who has a truck.

My great aunt is in memory care, and she is getting a hospital bed. She promised me her bedroom furniture when she no longer needs it.

I am supposed to take her bed in the next week or so, but there is a problem. I don't have much family other than my parents and my aunt. (1/2)....

Every time I look at my weather app, the forecast for my birthday gets worse.

Bold and Beautiful is a long half hour today. Lol

I just realized that Easter was only actually last Sunday, and I am stunned. What a long week.

I have been doing some intensive spring cleaning over the last several days, and..... yikes. 🫣

In my element. (Joining granny squares together)

Time to weave in all the ends (I have been putting this off for awhile)

Awesome!

Congresswoman Summer Lee poses for a photo with three representatives from the Pittsburgh Symphony. They are standing at the bottom of a staircase with red carpet and dark brown bannisters.

The Pittsburgh Symphony is a beautiful local example of how music offers us joy and community in difficult times like these.

Grateful to meet with musicians and staff to congratulate them on their National Endowment for the Arts grant and discuss the importance of federal funding for the arts.

Time Heals Everything might be my favorite Jerry Herman song.

Definitely not cheap though. Lol

🚨Stinkburgh Alert! Likely stench and elevated #air pollution tomorrow in #Pittsburgh. Stay alert and report smells to ACHD and SmellPGH app if you smell it! @gasp-pgh.bsky.social @breathe-project.bsky.social

Definitely far from cheap. Lol

Yes! I've been trying to figure out how to watch in US without spending a ton of $$

I miss watching Curling. I watched all the Olympics Curling and all the Paralympics Wheelchair Curling.

It's so hard to find Curling on TV unless it is the Olympics. 🥌
