 Today's post is a revisit to Day 846: November 19, 2014 
Someone asked about my layout and I mentioned the cheeseburger, 
I hunted it up and I hope you might enjoy?


If it, in any way, appears that ...
these daily blogs come easy ... well they don't!
Oh some do, like yesterday's ...
it was "ease-peasy" as my friend Libby says.
Once in a great while I have a specific goal.
But many, like today, have to be scoured for.
A lot of staring into space, waiting for divine help.
Padding around in my dusty brain for even a scrap of an idea.





I guess I think of each post as a hamburger.




The top bun is some piece of my artwork.
This because early on I was told that they liked the art part.
This part of the sandwich is easy, as I have files!






The middle or meat & cheese, is a few sentences ...
often just nonsense, so I keep it short.
This because early on, 800+ days ago ...
I asked daughter, WonderWoman, if she read my blog?
In that daughter voice that you know, if you have one ...
she said, "Mom, I am so busy!" And she is!
But, I said in my perfected Mom voice ...
"Erin, it takes 1 minute!"
And so I keep it short, usually. Today not as much?
Sometimes there are short garnishes ...
happening, upcoming stuff, dojo tally etc.



The bottom bun is the smile for the day.
Everyone seems to like that, and ...
that also comes easy, as I have a "funny" file.




So, thank you for bearing with me as I rattle along ...
I did get my title and blog for today in the process...
Day 846 ... in a row! ( 3021 days!)
I don't get many comments, but google says you are out there!
Thank you for your patience & persistence.
I really appreciate YOU!

I've been working in an old, unfinished junk mail journal.


Lots of empty pages, and unlimited junk mail.





 
Almost all-day. Grandhunk #1 came by this afternoon


and he brought yummy leftovers for me. 
I am having tacos for supper, just in case you were curious.
 
 
 
I found this quote, one tent short of a circus.

 
 
Seemed appropriate for these crazy times.
 



One of the blogs I look forward to, almost daily, is
Tall Tales from Kansas by Carol Mulvenon, here. 
Today's post, "a whole lot of good juju" is special.

About the wishing bench and a lot of good juju.
I think you might enjoy it too.

I hadn't thought ahead to Day #3000 of this daily blog.
It seems daunting enough to face the laptop daily, 
day after day with very few ideas. Somehow something pops 
up to fill a part of the cheeseburger format of this silly blog.


Today I got a brief comment in the form of a question.
Jim, who I think remembers me starting this blog 7+ years ago,
said: "Thanks, as always, jl! As you look ahead...
what is the date of your blog post #3000?" I replied:
"Ouch! That makes my head hurt! You have a mean streak I see. 
I should ask Grand Hunk #2, as he is a math whiz, but I will 
take this on as long as you're not going to give me a grade?
I think I can come fairly close. Hold on 5 minutes?
Day 3000 will be on September 13, 2020. Am I right?"
He replied:  "guess we'll find out................."
Jake/GH#2 would do it in his head in a flash, 
I had to use a pencil.
And, there is probably an app for that?






Just because ...
