Yesterday, on Twitter, somebody I didn’t know posted some weird insults about me, including calling me a “hypocrite.” I considered responding, but decided to ignore and mute them instead.
As I tell people in therapy, the negative tends to stick, so I’m doing my best to completely let go of the insults by sharing thoughts, feelings, quotes, and images with you.
It’s interesting that today is National Lima Bean Respect Day; I assume they often get insults.
This is what I find on YouTube when I search for “insults.”
Thanks to all who’ve read this “insults” post, including YOU!
Late night, when Michael and I were watching the Australian TV series Frayed, we had very different reactions to what was funny. The moment I found laugh-out-loud funny got a blank stare from him and vice versa.
Despite that, I think Michael is as funny as my late father and my son, who are both very funny Aarons.
Here are some “funny” quotes:

What’s funny, for you, in my images for today?
I think two of those National Days are funny and here is what I find when I search for “barber shop quartets funny” on YouTube.
I look forward to your comments on this “funny” post.
Funny thanks to all who help me create this daily blog, including YOU.

Yesterday, two of my questions on Twitter were about toxic people.
There must be a lot of toxic people out there— those tweets got hundreds of responses and here are just some of the quotes about toxic people I found online:
What’s your favorite quote about toxic people?
I try my best to avoid toxic people, but let’s see if there are any of them in my other images for today.
Today’s post is inspired by The Daily Bitch, who is often a soulmate of mine:
You don’t have to worry about finding definitions on this blog, so here’s one for soulmate:
I like how that definition implies that you can have more than one soulmate, because I’ve had several in my long life. One thing I’ve had in common with all my soulmates: laughter.
Parade.com has many quotes about soulmates, including these:
Here’s a video that starts out with me talking to my soulmate Michael about the behaviors of our cats, who may or not be soulmates.
Do you see soulmates in any of my other images for today?
I wonder if Abraham Lincoln and I would have been soulmates.
It’s no chore for me to blog every day and here’s a definition of “chore.”
My husband, Michael (who does almost all the chores around here) and I sometimes discuss what chores we dread. He dreads the chore of taking out the garbage and I dread the chores of being on call at work, doing our taxes, and testing my blood every other week because I take the anticoagulant Coumadin. We both dread the chore of taking either of our cats to the vet.
Last night, I asked this question on Twitter:
I phrased the question that way because a few people have let me know that they find my Twitter questions a chore. I look forward to reading all the answers to that question, which will be no chore at all.
My niece Julie McGrath has said this about chores: “Try changing I HAVE to do this to I GET to do this!” Using Julie’s advice, I’ll say this: I get to check my blood INR today!
I also get to share all these quotes about chores with you, plus other random images.
Today I get to celebrate National Love Your Pet Day, which is no chore at all.
If it’s no chore, please leave a comment below.
Now I get to express my thanks to all who get to do chores and who read my blog, including YOU!
I hope I didn’t overwhelm you with all those quotes or with my other images for today.
This shows the difference between the humility-arrogance scale and the insecurity-confidence scale, which an overwhelming number of people confuse. Confidence is not the same as arrogance, people!
I am momentarily overwhelmed by the coincidence that the Daily Bitch is doing her lashes on National Lash Day.
I am not overwhelmed by Joan interrupting me while I’m trying to blog.
I am overwhelmed by how cute and talented she is.
Finally, one more quote about feeling overwhelmed.
Today’s blog title is inspired by today’s Daily Bitch Calendar.
I have been wasting time this week, worrying about my presentation on groups tomorrow morning. Worrying is always a waste of time and I do have that covered.
I would like to stop wasting my time on worrying and to spend my time on more productive things, like ….. anything else besides worrying.
Here are some quotes about wasting time:
.
I hope you enjoy wasting time with me and the rest of my images for today.
In order to celebrate National Do A Grouch A Favor Day, I am going to do grouchy me a favor by not worrying any more and also by sharing this video:
One of my favorite wastes of time is collecting expressions of gratitude, so thanks to all who help me blog every day, including YOU.
