Day 4476: Mistakes

Because I spend so much time thinking about mistakes, I greatly appreciated this sculpture about mistakes in the Rome airport.

.

When I was packing weeks ago for the trip to Italy, I worried about mistakes — taking too little or not enough. It was much easier packing to leave Italy yesterday, because the decisions had already been made, mistakes and all. And, as I learn over and over again, my mistakes are not fatal, even if I fear that they are.

On the plane ride home yesterday, the back portion of the cabin was practically empty and, make no mistake, I enjoyed the quiet and the roominess.

.

I speculated with the flight attendant, who lives in Venice (which I will unmistakably revisit soon), that the scarcity of passengers might be related to the awful mistakes the USA President has been making. She thought that assumption was a mistake, since all other flights from Italy to the USA have been packed this week.

When I got home yesterday (after a Lyft drive when the driver got blasted by a rude Boston driver when he made a minor mistake), we couldn’t find my cat Joan, and I soon feared that we had make a mistake at the doorway and let her run out. Even though that mistake seemed impossible (we always keep an eye out for her because we know she loves getting outside), that mistake seemed more likely as she kept not showing up to greet my return. Eventually, my husband Michael went outside, found her, and brought her back inside. That mistake continued to bother me until Michael soon spotted Joan outside AGAIN as I was regaling him with tales from Italy. We then discovered, down in the basement, that we hadn’t made a mistake at all.

.

It was a mistake to assume that Joan eventually wouldn’t figure out a way to gain access to one of her favorite places — the great outdoors. Because it would be a mistake to let Joan run free among all the coyotes here, we’ve blocked that escape route for now.

Do you see any mistakes in my other images for today?

I think it’s a mistake to celebrate Tell a Lie Day when the USA President and his minions tell so many lies, every day.

Here’s what I find when I look for mistakes on YouTube:

Thanks to all who are here for my daily mistakes, including YOU! 💕

Day 4111: Lies

With all the lies that are being told these days, do we really need a Tell a Lie Day?

.

Personally, I prefer Honesty Day to Tell a Lie Day. In the meantime, I’m wondering if I should observe Tell a Lie Day by telling a lie in today’s blog.

That reminds me of a game I used to play with my son — Two Truths and a Lie. We would each name three things we did that day and then try to guess which was a lie.

It’s always been very easy to get my son to share information about his day and what he’s been doing.

Okay, now that I’ve gotten the lie out of the way, do you see any lies in my images for today?

I think that’s an appropriate Daily Bitch for Tell a Lie Day.

Here’s what I find when I look for “lies” on YouTube.

.

If you watched that video, I assume you’ll be able to tell that there are no lies in this concluding statement: I am grateful for all those who helped me create this “lies” blog post, including YOU!
