  • In my family, over my lifetime, more people started working more hours outside the home. So choices were made when buying clothes to get items that required less work. Less hand washing. Less dry clean only. Less wash separately. But the clothes still had to look professional. I still have a “permanent press” cycle on my washing machine. I think it’s a relic from that transitional era.

    I have seen the shift to more casual work clothes over my lifetime. I remember some places had a day or two of “casual” days. Sometimes employees would have to pay a few dollars to wear casual items. I really don’t remember when places transitioned to such casual clothing. I think I worked a lot for a couple of years, blinked my eyes. And everyone was wearing sweat pants. Is there anyone who was paying attention who can fill me in? What happened?







  • If you’re serious, I have lots of ideas. Everywhere I look, I always see something to clean. I like to get outside during all the seasons and observe what is happening. I print recipes I like and make notes to tune them to perfection. Get a ukelele and a how to play book for beginners. Or skip the book and just make up little ditties. Go for a walk, do yoga, or body weight exercises. Start a journal. Write down at least one thing that happened each day. Bonus, add weather observations. Get a radio from a thrift shop. Call someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Check out your local library’s current periodical section. Check your local town and county for events or classes that interest you. Find a creative reuse store and get some crafty supplies. Find a board game group. There’s soooo much to do!
