I was attending a virtual Workshop and sitting in my office watching Zoom meetings but I found the cat outside eating a rabbit more interesting. It was gross, but I couldn't stop looking at it. It was like watching the Discovery Channel.

Barb slept in until 11:45 for the first time in her life, and when she stepped on the scale, she found she was five pounds lighter. She said that that is the real reason I am so thin.

It was the coldest day of the year, and Barb came home from the grocery store after playing indoor pickleball. I was in a meeting, so she couldn’t tell me all about her day. She immediately took a shower and then started watching television. After my meeting, we sat down to dinner. Barb started telling me about her day. As she was talking, she realized that she had left her groceries in the car. Then, after dinner, we sat down in the living room. Barb started watching television while I worked on my computer. She sat there for a few more hours before she remembered that she had left the groceries in the car. I was worried the bananas would freeze.

I met my Neighbourhood Watch friend again tonight, and he had another joke. He said, “This old lady called the police, saying someone had broken into her car and stolen her stereo, her steering wheel and even her accelerator and brake pedals. Later, the policeman phoned in his report saying, “Nevermind, we found that she got into the back seat.”

 My friendly Neighbourhood Watch man stopped me on my evening walk to tell me a joke. He said, “I had to call the police the other day. An old man broke into his house. He didn’t see him until he went into the bathroom.”

Barb went to Sam’s on the way home from afternoon pickleball and decided to pick up a pizza, but she was concerned that the last time she'd gotten a pizza there, it had been lousy. There was no cheese or tomato sauce, and the crust was burned. So, when she went to get a pizza today, she told the man about her disappointment last time, and he said maybe this time it would be better and gave her two big pieces of pizza for free.

Barb heard a joke today. Two couples were meeting for the first time. The husband introduces his wife, saying, “She has been correcting me for 33 years.” The wife says, “34.”

I have been having trouble with my computer mouse on my Windows computer. It stops working, I take the battery out and put it back in, and then it works again. I was using my Windows computer outside on the patio, got cold, and brought it into the bedroom. My mouse wasn’t working. So, I decided to replace the battery. I went to the kitchen, got a new battery, put it in the mouse, and went back to the bedroom. The mouse still didn’t work. Finally, I realized I was using my Linux mouse, and my Windows mouse was in my pocket.
