Crazy days

While walking with my husband on Monday, I was startled to realize why the timing of this week seemed so confusing. For perhaps the first time in my life, I forgot that February has 28 days. I kept trying, without success, to squeeze the 29th & 30th in before Wednesday, March 1.

I shared about it on social media.

Random thoughts on the last day of February 2023: 
I’m fascinated by how my wool dryer balls work their way into sweater sleeves & pant legs. 
Also, until Sunday, I couldn’t wrap my brain around the idea that Sunday was the 26th & Thursday is March 2. What about the 29th & 30th? As I near the end of my 63rd year on this earth, I think that’s the first time I forgot February only has 28 days! No complaints from me. It’s been a good month. March will be good too.

Ash Wednesday 2023

I didn’t attend an Ash Wednesday worship service in person or online, due to a busy travel schedule. I did start a Lenten Bible plan on the Bible App & read the first devotional in the series being presented by Goodrich UMC. I am grateful for both. I pray & trust God to lead me where I need to be. I am grateful for God’s mercy, love, grace & forgiveness. May I never stop seeking Him & praying, humbly & gratefully, for Him to use me as He wills, to His glory.

More Wordle wonders

 Wordle 597 1/6


🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩


The New York Times made me cheat!


I forgot to share this little Wordle story from Monday, Feb. 6:

I solved Wordle on the fifth try. 

“When I prepared to share my results, it showed my streak at 1. That was WRONG! It should be 85. So it wanted me to log in, which it never asks me to do. So I logged in, ready to share my results. Instead, it gave me a blank puzzle. WHAT?!?!?

“It’s probably the only time I’ll ever solve Wordle in the first try & I’m fine with that!!”

This, of course, drew some interest from my friends, & I was prepared & willing to explain. 

”Tricked me into cheating might be more accurate. … 

“I solved Wordle on the fifth try. 

“When I prepared to share my results, it showed my streak at 1. That was WRONG! It should be 85. So it wanted me to log in, which it never asks me to do. I had to reset my password. So I logged in & was ready to share my results. Instead, it gave me a blank puzzle. What?!?!? 

“So what the heck! I typed in the right answer & it showed my correct streak, with just a minor error in my guess distribution.” “ ❤️😂😊”

I admit I actually thought about typing in my original guesses, which I remembered. Then I decided there was no good reason not to take the opportunity I was given!! 😊
