Sunday

I almost completed the Sunday crossword (two minor words undone) and it was a good one--puns for the major lines, which I enjoy. It occurred to me to wonder why I like this so much. I don't have any interest in crossword books or other venues where they're carried. Aside from hidden object and Royal Match games from Big Fish, I don't want to play anything on-line, either. I certainly never want to play complicated "adult" games where you have to strategize heavily. A little of that is okay, but let me relax when I'm playing, I obsess enough on things that are real. 

After that enjoyable activity, I walked to Smart 'n' Final for 45 calorie popsicles and grapes; went next door to The Dollar Tree to get a new bottle of Miracle Nail, which is keeping my nails pretty strong, plus a few other items. Home, had lunch (salad left over from Saturday) after I put in a load of wash. I also have three made-up sandwiches from the luncheon, so called Jim  to see if he wanted to come for lunch one day and we'll eat them. I'll open Vickie's wine gift then, too. Heard back from him in the evening and he'll be here today.

Had lunch (the leftover salad), then lay down and took a nap. I haven't been sleeping well lately and I think I needed it. Got a text from Stella asking if I wanted her Protonix, which I believe is an acid reducer. I guess we had talked about that recently an coincidentally, I'm feeling some now. I had stopped taking the med I have, but will resume. Damn, I hope I'm not getting another ulcer. 

I decided to write a letter--an actual letter, which I'll put in the mail today--to my older granddaughter, Vivian, in Singapore. Every once in a while, I write letters; must send another to my dear brother, Jim, in Bangkok, although I'm afraid he may not be aware of it. 

I went to Von's before dinner--I wasn't hungry yet--and came back with what I consider staples, too boring to enumerate. I also bought a "Tokyo-style Raman," frozen, and had half for dinner. It wasn't too bad, but not wonderful.  

Additional Note: 

As for the banning from Facebook for 13 hours: A FB "friend," who is a teacher, posted about the misuse of the word "literally," which means "actually." People constantly misuse this to mean the opposite: "His singing was so bad my ears closed up." I commented about the word "unique" and wrote something like "it does not mean "rare" or "unusual--it means there is only one. You can't use 'unique' to  mean 'rare' or 'unusual'--well, you can, but then I'd have to kill you."  

My Post After My Jail Term Ended:

Incredibly, I was banned from FB for 13 hours yesterday because of a comment that contained a well-known joke. It was on a friend's page and regarded the misuse of words. I mentioned "unique" and said people could use it to mean "unusual," but if they did, I'd have to do something to them. That line originated in the TV version of "The Hound of the Baskervilles": "Sherlock: I never did ask, Dr. Franklyn. What is it exactly that you do here? Doctor: Oh, Mr. Holmes, I would love to tell you, but then, of course, I'd have to ...you." It has since often been used as a joke often, but clearly, FB ain't got no sense of humor.
