Have tried YouTube? I’ve had pretty good luck with finding “how to” on there. Plus I feel like you’re so good with that kind of stuff.

It's like the line in the comedy "Scary Movie" when the black man runs and point out he is the only black man there so he will be killed. And I think that are about 99% of the horror movies...
Cowspiracy shared a photo for over 50 years ago now. Black people protesting against being killed by the police... We are still protesting about the same topic...

Hi everyone. We’re having beautiful weather here today. In a parallel universe I’m out there marching with other demonstrators, but in this one, I’m sitting in my room at Meadowbrook. I’ve just had vegetable pizza for lunch, and I’m going to watch some YouTube videos.
@KLS52 Before the coronavirus, I would have suggested volunteering at a hospital or senior facility, but those are NOT where you want to be right now. Maybe you can find a job volunteering at an animal shelter or rescue, or maybe you can do what @Chryssie does and work at a library. Actually, I think animal shelter might be a good fit for you, unless you’re the type who would sneak home an adorable kitten or two in her bag at the end of the day.

Hey everyone! It is still raining! Despite the weather, it was really busy at TJ Maxx. I am so sick of the ignorant people who don't seem to understand why we are so low on merchandise! We are getting trucks, but less merchandise, and they are buying it as fast as we can get it out! We should close up for a week and get a truck everyday and stock everything and THEN maybe the shelves wouldn't be so empty!
I have had the other half of the Thai peanut wrap I got Thursday from Sweets-n-Eats and am having some of the coffee stout I got from Central 28.

Now the mower is sitting up with PB Blaster sprayed up the spark plug hole 
I did learn the trick to a frappicino at home is to add a bit of xantham gum - like 1/8 per serving. I have some! I think it was supposed to be for chese. It emulsifies the ice
I also found the can of coconut milk. I was thinking of making coconut rice, but now maybe a curry. Probably dont' have the right stuff though

I had a really productive morning. I put in an application for a leadership role in the volunteer work side of life.
Then I built a planter box out of a discarded produce crate and a garbage bag. I painted the crate black. It looks really nice. I picked up a second one during my afternoon walk with Pup.
Then I fell asleep! I needed a break to just read the news and chill out on here.
But my garden is looking good. I'll post more pictures before long.

I’m so not a library person. Plus I don’t think I could be quiet for more than five minutes lol. A shelter Is a possibility but I’ve done that before and I run the risk of getting depressed because of the situation the animals are in. It’s hard. I’ll find something. I like old people. So once the virus is gone I might look into that.Hi everyone. We’re having beautiful weather here today.

Do you all have a place you feel at home? Not thinking of your house, but a city, village or place.
I had a penpal asking. And I can't answer more than I have my address here. It's not home. And I have no clue where home is. Not sure if I'm just strange again or not...

Yeah. I feel strangely at home in certain cities. There are places where I just show up and feel like I've been there before, like I have some kind of connection to it. It's inexplicable.
My whole life, I've had dreams that took place in the same city. One I had never been to before . . . until I traveled overseas and found a city like it.
It struck me recently that I knew a lot about historic events when I was less than five years old. I think it came from my parents and NPR. But I like to imagine that reincarnation could exist and that it could explain everything. It is a commonly held belief across cultures.
I feel very at home near the ocean and on hiking trails. I also have some places I've visited that easily could have become my new home: Portland, Oregon; Portland, Maine; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (this actually was my home for a bit, haha); Ireland; and Toronto, to name a few.

I just took a post-curfew walk with the pup. It was nice. We got another produce crate. This one is round, and bigger.

We are not that quiet in the library bookstore! We talk and play CD's!
The library itself isn't as quiet as you might think, especially the children's area!I am sad the bookstore is closed until the end of the year. I hope they change their minds on that.
Oh cool! Now that I can handle.We are not that quiet in the library bookstore! We talk and play CD's!

I am sorry the bookstore is closed.

It's slightly overcast and the temperature has cooled down. I'm invited for lunch on the outskirts of the northern part of the town. This evening I'm also invited to have dinner at my pal's in the garden flat. I'm bringing gin cocktails and some veggie/nut roast and she's making some vegetables.
Can I ask which city?
Yeah. I'm a bit more like you then. Feeling more at home out in the nature, than any other places. And when I travel, I think that a lot of places, I easy could have lived. Scotland is one of those places (I'm deeply in love with Isle of Skye, even though I've never been there yet...), Gotland in Sweden too. Or when I'm up in the mountains. I find some kind of inner peace those places... I love to hike in the forrest, but it's not the same thing as open spaces with wind and everything.
I'm born and grew up in Oslo, and lived there some years as grown up too. But that's not home. I lived in Østfold for many, many years, but that's not home either. And I lived several places during my time as a student + after I started to work in Oslo, but neither of those places are home. It's where I have an address only, and not much more. I guess sometimes you move too much around to really get an connection to a place, or you perhaps just don't haven't found your place that is home...
London doesn't feel like home to me anymore, I'm actually getting sick of being here. I want to live by the sea. I keep thinking how nice it will be to wake up on Christmas day and take my dog for a walk on the beach.
I have done a hair treatment and put a load of washing on. It's much cooler here now. There was a thunderstorm yesterday.
That would be so nice!
I have family that refuses to move out of sight from the ocean. They have grown up both by the sea, and he has spent his entire work life on the sea.
