RTBTCKI Engage Brain before Opening Mouth
I need to remember that before going onto the Internet.
I think over time my tolerance for idiocy has reduced and increased. There are some things that use to bother me and I would have to jump in and say something to correct what was an obvious error to me that I just let stand now because I know I am not going to change anyone’s mind. But there are other things that I never spoke out about that I now do because I can’t take the ignorance anymore.
I have gone the path where I went from I know everything to I know nothing to I know something about a lot of things but not all things and that’s fine.
I still enjoy learning and gaining knowledge. I find a subject that interests me and I will research the heck out of it.
Caroline’s brain apparently works the same way but her retention of details is amazing. She saw Aladdin about a year and half ago and then again about two weeks ago. She said at the Intermission, not as many fireworks at the end of “Friend Like Me.” Peter asked James later about that and James told him that yes, there was less due to a miscue. She can recall all kinds of things that she has read. She is getting pretty good at Jeopardy as her knowledge base increases.
Inky had overcome her fear of the top of the bed and has taken to napping with me.
They gym continues to be an adventure. I can tell pretty much what my chances are of getting my whole workout it or just a good chunk of it. Part of that is on me and part of that has to do with how many people are trying to do what at the gym. There are days that my shaky hands makes it hard to get the whole thing done. Feeling like I am going to toss my cookies makes me slow down or stop early. The days that I can get through the whole thing and I feel fine afterwards are the days I look forward to. Yesterday I upped the weight on a couple of exercises because I was going through it too fast. So today there are some muscle groups complaining about it in the good way. I have however done something to the back of my leg that keep tightening up so I keep carefully stretching it and hoping I didn’t do any damage.
NBA finals are still going on. I think it’s going to be the Cavs and Warriors in the final.
I love how ESPN is still trying to make football relevant in the offseason. They had the Draft to talk about for a while and now it’s rookie mini camps and the trades. That they can maintain interest the whole year is amazing.
Off to start the day.
I am grateful for having the wisdom to know when to just leave well enough alone.
