I’m a Very Dull Person

And at this point in my life, that’s fine. I enjoy a Facebook group called Dull Women’s Club by Sara Green, and it’s been wonderful reading about the ordinary lives of “dull” women all over the world. Each one is unique and fascinating, whether they’re young, old, rich, poor, or whatever. And people are so kind to each other in the comments. It’s not full of trolls and AI bots, just real women. If they’re dull, I’m happy to be one of these dull but kind and brave women who share their lives with strangers.

I hadn’t intended to write about actual good stuff in social media, but I digressed. I’d been thinking that any topic I could come up with this week has been pretty darned dull. For example.

• When I rinsed off Apache’s sweat crystals today, he was dirtier than when I started. I need a real hose nozzle.
• Yesterday the highlight of the day was watching Black Vultures surround a move who’d just given birth so they could get the afterbirth. The calf was very strong and nursed away before the placenta was delivered.
• I had a great conversation with my dental hygienist about celery, it’s plusses and minuses (minus—flossing the fibers out).
• I almost wrote about how much I like my dental practice. They have low staff turnaround and don’t lecture you. And the dentist is the king of Dad jokes
• The upstairs air conditioning is still out. It’s becoming hot outside again, so I truly hope the part comes in soon.
• Better news. The motorhome is repaired…again. We will see if our next trip goes more smoothly.
• I’ve discovered that Crayola swirl crayons do a great job of mimicking stained glass with mixed colors in it. I do love crayons. And colored pencils. And pens. What a stereotypical old lady writer.
• Connie is molting giant white feathers. The poultry area looks like it’s snowed.
• I spent 20 minutes looking at tiny insects on tiny aster flowers. I also watched clouds.
• I’m enjoying work this week. I love writing helpful material. That’s SO dull.

Yep. I’m not in an exciting phase. And I’m just not up for a big long introspective (and probably dull) monologue, either. So, that’s what you get for today. At least I wrote!
