I keep thinking I need to restart just randomly blogging. Not giving everyone a full-on update on my life because, quite frankly, there’s not a lot to tell and even less that I want to tell. (Although my Mom has started telling me that I need to tell certain people in my life that things aren’t all rainbows and lollipops – she doesn’t say it quite that way!)
For now, I’m going to see about just writing about random things that I’ve been thinking about in the last while.
I will start with a bit of an update – two paragraphs after I said there wasn’t much to tell. Today was actually a pretty good day. My Mom and I went to see my Dad this morning and it was a pretty good visit. We then went to Ingersoll to get groceries which doesn’t sound all that exciting but I was happy to help her. The original plan was to just stay home and catch a nap this afternoon.
However, my Mom suggested we go to the antique store in Tburg because she also wanted to go to Fabricland. It turned out to be a pretty good day. Picked up a model kit of the Corvette that Tommy Milner drives in races like the 24 Hours of Daytona – which just happens to be taking place this weekend.
The Rolex 24 as it’s sometimes called (or actually I think it’s a more prevalent term) is one of only two non-stock car races that I watch each year. (The Indy 500 being the other one.) I don’t have full access to it but I did set my PVR to catch the first and last hours of the race, and follow along on Twitter/X.
By the way, I’m also following along with tonight’s Royal Rumble the same way.
I’ve been reading a bit of this book I picked up at Value Village called “Pep Talks for Writer” by Grant Faulkner, the Executive Director of the National Novel Writing Month. It’s basically 52 short chapters about getting inspired to be creative and write and it’s definitely helping inspire me to get writing.
