Happy Superb Owl Groundhog Imbolc Wonderama Day 2020
Posted By Kathleen David on February 2, 2020
There is a lot jammed into today with groundhogs and their shadows, 49er vs Kansas football for all the marbles, Imbolc which was technically yesterday but I am sure the celebration is ongoing and Candlemas. I know some friends who are celebrating World Ukulele Day the best way possible.
Peter will be blogging the commercials on his website for the Super Bowl. Feel free to stop by and comment on your favorites. We have been trying to avoid the teasers for the commercials so we can look at them without any prejudice.
Sometime that was pointed out to me from a tech website which is rather smart. This year I am making sure that when I write the date on something like Caroline’s permission slip or a check or a contract, I write 2020 not just 20 since that can be taken and used for any year from 2000-2099 if someone was of a mind to do so.
Also today is a rare palindrome date 02.02.2020.
I have the food planned out for the day considering everyone’s likes and dislike and dietary needs. I am having my onion dip and chips because that is something that I use to eat while watching football with my father.
This year I don’t really have a team I am cheering for in this game. The 49ers have played well and their quarterback is amazing. Andy Reid has been to the big dance more than once up never won the whole thing. I am hoping for a good game that does not turn into a blowout for either team. And no one gets seriously injured.
The cats are happy with me because they got their breakfast very early this morning but it has thrown their napping schedule off.
I can feel my brain coming back online. I was on autopilot for a while this morning but I didn’t want to wake Peter up because I was unable to sleep. He does the same thing for me when he wakes up and can’t sleep.
I think today I am going to stay offline for the most part. I may try to start making Sundays my electronic free day with the exception of writing on my laptop. I read an interesting article about electronics and how stepping away from the constant stream of information and cat videos can help ones’ brain feel better.
Another thing I started doing again is writing in cursive. It seems to help activate parts of my brain. They say that a totally different part of the brain is working when you write in cursive rather than printing. The other thing I am doing is working on my cursive so it is readable. Funny thing is when I first learned how to write in script, I wanted to switch back to printing so bad. Now I want to go back. The only reason Caroline can read and write in cursive was a subversive teacher in elementary school who believed every child should be able to read the Constitution and other historical documents for themselves.
Well, off to write other things I need to write and get some stuff done around the house before the other humans wake up.
I am grateful that I learned cursive as part of my early education.
