My laptop Brave internet browser has 31 open tabs. I used 3 this morning, I don’t know what the other 28 are. Every time I open up the browser and am asked to restore the tabs, I answer yes. I can’t fathom clicking no! This is a really small item on my death cleaning list.… Continue reading The open tabs

In the… Continue reading The refridgerator

Over the last three years, several people in my life have died. It’s been tough to see… Continue reading Death cleaning
