Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

This morning I did what might be the most bad ass thing I’ve ever done. I was in the bathroom, getting ready for my day. I looked down at the floor and saw a spider running toward me. I was barefoot. He was moving really fast. I didn’t have time to pick something up so… I stepped on it with bare feet.

Like I said… bad ass.


Vice President Harris picked her running mate. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He used to be a high school teacher. I think that is outstanding. I think that’s the kind of thing we need. He also never committed treason and tried to overthrow the Federal Government. I think that makes him a good choice.


The Smashing Pumpkins released a new album this week. I really did not like the last couple. I tried. I really did. I just couldn’t get into them. This one though… I’ve listened to seven of the 10 songs so far this morning and it’s really good. I’m enjoying this record a lot.


I did not get a chance to play any guitar this morning before work. I just procrastinated and ran out of time. I wanted to, but I failed. I won’t have time tomorrow morning, so let’s hope for better time management on Thursday. I did take a couple of pictures though. One is basically yesterday’s photo a day picture taken from the opposite angle. How creative of me?

Finally, in closing… a cat.

Adjusting That Mindset

I got up from my desk and walked out to the kitchen to heat up the air fryer and start cooking some lunch. When I walked back into Harry’s room, Robin Sparkles was laying down on the day-bed. I reached into my pocket for my iPhone and then stopped myself. My Z5 was literally three feet away. If I want to start using the real camera instead of my phone camera then I actually have to stop reaching for my phone, right?

I picked up my Z5 and snapped a picture of Miss Robin. There. Let’s adjust that mindset, Robbie. Let’s do it. Let’s get back to using the real camera instead of the iPhone camera. I need to get a new point and shoot if I am going to move away from the iPhone again. Something pocket sized, and no one makes those anymore. At least they don’t make decent ones anymore. Well… Nikon doesn’t make them anymore. Ugh.

Anyway, here’s a cat.
