This was my pinned post at the other place. Still true.

Back to PT today after a bit of a break. Close to the end, few weeks more. It has helped a lot.

Turn to the right to get something from passenger seat. Immediately stricken by a stitch in my side. What is up with that? Why do my ribs hate me? 😩

How’d we get here? “What’s on the Menu?” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/what... Village Green/Town² blog - - We create hunger in Howard County Maryland. Can we create change?

Husband flying to Macon today for a funeral. I hate it when he travels. Ugh.

The return of the vertigo, this time with nausea. Blah. Last time it went away on its own. Anyone have cures for intermittent vertigo episodes?

The Downtown Columbia Maker Faire is back! “Make. Goo Analog. Touch Grass, Too.” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/make... Village Green/Town² blog - - Today at the Chrysalis, 12-4.

Thanks. I needed this.

I just poured white cheddar popcorn on the rest of the reheated broccoli to make myself eat it. Not my best work, but surprisingly edible.

My Bluesky looks wildly different today and I’m not liking it. 😕

It’s a great day to vote in Columbia/HoCo!

So proud of the “Discover What Makes You Special” episode of Reading Rainbow. Fills my heart with joy to see the library kids talking about being autistic, about their neurodivergence, about their disability. It’s a blessing to witness children believing they are special ✨ youtu.be/-T9rkthr5is?...

Dear friends, there’s just too much to do. “More Like a Letter” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/more... Village Green/Town² blog - - So I guess I wrote you a letter about it.

Serious case of the I Don’t Wannas this morning.

Bad breathing day. Picked up allergy and asthma meds but I’m canceling everything else on my to do list. Enforced laziness, here I come.

We have reached the time of year when every time I go to sleep my husband shakes me because my CPAP is making a noise that bothers him. 😕 So then I’m afraid to go back to sleep.

Whoever created that Klan document at University of Maryland from the club tennis team needs to go. Make racists nervous again. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Looking back and looking forward in HoCo and beyond. “Updates and Exhortation” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/upda... Village Green/Town² blog - - Checking in on some ongoing stories this morning.

60 years ago today 144 people died in the Welsh village of Aberfan when a colliery spoil tip collapsed onto them. 109 of those were children attending the village school. A tragedy that broke hearts, which remain broken now. The strength and courage shown by that community is an example to us all.

Hey, NY/NJ/CT folks! I'll be at Bridgeport, CT's Kindred Thoughts bookstore on Sunday! Please come say hi and get your signed copy of "Beignets and Big Feelings!" kindredthoughts.shop/event/2026-1...

The musician, who was blind because of a brain tumor he dealt with as a toddler, was an inspiration to many in Macon.

Husband is taking a personal day to do things pertaining to his mom at assisted living. I am not going to wake him.

Oh, the possibilities. “Access/Accessible/Accessibility” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/acce... Village Green/Town² blog - - Do we even notice the barriers?

In an already unsteady industry, Baltimore’s immigrant restaurant owners and workers are feeling the strain baltimorebeat.com/in-an-alread...

I’m cold!!! And our new thermostat still says 72. Go figure.

The man, the mystery, and a little history. “Columbia Man Returns?” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/colu... Village Green/Town² blog - - He’s back! And he’s still hogging the spotlight.

I don't know which woman needs to hear this, but-- That depression you might think you're experiencing- what they tell you is neurodivergence-- is really just unprocessed, unchanneled rage and grief. Focus the anger. Your life will transform.

I think my home thermostat is mocking me.

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

Did you ever get the feeling that your internal thermostat was broken? “The In-Between” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-... Village Green/Town² blog - - What season is it, exactly?

Yes, I did make it to the Clarksville Commons Book Festival. And I found the perfect bookmark for my current library book, too.

Is this your notebook?? It mysteriously appeared in my tote bag. No personal info but the owner seems to live in Brooklyn and is outlining/researching a novel — I’d love to return it to you!

Columbia: Wonderful, weird, and sometimes worrisome. “Columbia: Joy of Discovery?” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/10/colu... Village Green/Town² blog - - Well, no one promised me a theme park.
