These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Saving me from myself
I keep getting a "system too busy" message from Pogo! That gives me nothing to do but throw out some of the paper that's littering my floor. (Yes, my floor. Both the coffee table and dining room table are already filled with magazines, catalogs, bills, credit card statements and charity solicitations.)
Plastic shopping bags are a problem, too. I even have bags of bags. I keep meaning to take them to Jewel-Osco to recycle because just throwing them out seems wasteful, but …
A contractor is coming by Saturday morning to give me an estimate for replacing my windows. I wonder if how this place will look to him if I don't shovel some of this shit out of here … and whether it will have an impact on the estimate.
Question: Can I put these sheets of self-adhesive return address labels in with my recyclables?
