Things I've Learned This Week

*  Only an overachiever could work more hours while "unemployed" than while employed.

*  If you cannot support any candidates from the opposing political party, it isn't politics--it's bigotry.

*  It takes me about 3 vacation days before I can sit down to read a book without feeling like I should be doing something while reading.

*  If a knitting project is repeatedly kicking your arse, it shouldn't be part of your vacation.

*  The fastest way to get recognition for all the work you do is to completely stop doing it for a few days.

*  It would have been a good idea to not let the cats develop the idea that humans exist to entertain them.

*  If I didn't know it was an Abraham Lincoln quote, I would have guessed the saying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt" referred to Facebook.

*  Letting a cat play with the dead vole it brought in is only a good idea if you're going to pay close attention to where the vole ends up when the cat is done playing. 

*  If you really, really, REALLY don't want to cook, you can eat peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for every meal for several days before getting sick of it.

*  In my world, there's no such thing as just "browsing" in a used book store.

*  When you're really irritated because you've had to dig through a bunch of stuff to find something, it's a great time to declutter.  It's hard to be sentimental about things you've just referred to as a "bunch of flipping crap."

*  If taking a stand against messages of hate and bigotry cost you relationships, they probably weren't relationships worth having.

Of course you can just browse in a used bookstore. Just remember that the browsing is usually followed by the buying! Ditto yarn stores.
