Hello again, my gentle readers and kind lurkers!

This image represents the predominant colors found in my IG account photos during 2021. I used YEAROFCOLOUR.COM, an app, to create it.
After the strangest warmest Christmas Day on record [69ºF] and the oddest gloomiest New Year’s Day I can remember [rained all day], we here in Chez Bean are ready to get back to doing normal things this week.
Well, normal as it is now defined. That is, we are fully vaccinated, wearing masks when out & about in public, keeping away from people in general– and doing our best to not spread a deadly virus.
You know which one it is.

This is what @MAGICKMOODS, found on IG, says I am currently doing. Who knows, maybe blog posts are really just potatoes… and I’m making a hash of it here?
To wit, Z-D is back to work on a hybrid schedule of 2 days downtown in his office/3 days at home in his upstairs bedroom office. He likes the idea so it’s all good*.
This will be happening while I’m back to writing my usual flapdoodle & twaddle. I never know how much longer I’m going to be writing this blog, but muse is with me and I’m feeling groovy so I shall keep going.
Plus I took a fast online test, a task as they call it, that measures verbal creativity. The average score was 78 but mine was 93. Not to brag but as the consummate B+ college student who was never quite smart enough to earn an A, I’m chuffed by this number. Ha!

While I’m not known for being a relentlessly upbeat Pollyanna, these particular words from WORDSTACKS, a game on my phone, resonated with me. So I share them here.
And with that I’ll end this post by asking: what are you manifesting today?
* Zen-Den can be a bit of an absent-minded professor. He went into work yesterday, on 1 of his 2 days in the office, but came home early. Few people were around, he said, but he got a lot done. On further reflection, and a quick check of the company’s 2022 scheduled holidays, he realized he had the day off. Uh huh 🙄
