15. It’s Red Nose Day – a day to raise funds for those in need, particularly for ending poverty in children. Have you ever taken part in a Red Nose Day event? Have you ever bought a red nose to wear?
I watched it once. But no. I do other charitable things, just not Red Nose Day.
16. Do you regularly eat breakfast? What’s your favourite thing to eat?
Yes. I'm diabetic and have always had low blood sugar issues. Also I prefer breakfast to lunch for the most part. And have been known to have breakfast on weekends and skip lunch.
Poached egg over greens, with some lemon juice and pepper every morning. Weekends, I tend to have either an omelet, scrambled eggs and bacon, with a gluten free english muffin or muffin, or gluten free mini-waffels with bacon or sausage and just skip lunch.
17. Do you add things to your ‘to-do’ list just so you can cross them out immediately to say you’ve done them?
Yes, assuming I remember to do the list or where I put it. I'm not an organized thinker.
18. Have you got a dedicated place to keep your shoes?
Yes - two places, one at the entry way, and one in my bedroom. And I have too many shoes, all of which appear to be mainly black in color. I do have a pair of purple sneakers.
19. Do you like scented candles?
Depends on the scent? But yes. I like fresh ocean scent and orange scented candles, also lemon. And pine. I can't do floral or cinnamon - since I'm allergic.

From AP News Wire: "U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington, D.C., ruled that Trump’s order to exclude transgender troops from military service likely violates their constitutional rights. She delayed her order by three days to give the administration time to appeal." Go HERE
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams return to Earth after 9 months stuck in space. Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico in the early evening, just hours after departing the International Space Station. Splashdown occurred off the coast of Tallahassee in the Florida Panhandle, bringing their unplanned odyssey to an end.
And on a purely personal note? My niece and brother are visiting my Mother in South Carolina. Niece (who has been doing cold plunges in Montana) went swimming today. The water is somewhere in the 50s-60s and it was in the upper 60s today on the beach. Anyhow, she went swimming in the ocean, and below her head, and came face to face with a jelly fish. A box jelly fish.
She leapt up screaming, and raced to shore.
The jelly fish had wrapped around her face.
Needless to say - I freaked out when I heard this story.
Me: Is she okay?
Mother: seems to be, no issues at all.
Me: Are you sure?
Mother: (to niece) Tell your Aunt that you are okay.
Niece: I'm fine, it was nothing. My eyelids still sting, but other than that...
Me: So not a man of war?
Niece: no it was small and I think a Box Jelly Fish.
Me: I thought it was too cold for Jelly Fish?
Niece: do did I, but apparently not. There were a ton on the beach, so I probably should have realized they'd be in the water. No one else was out swimming.

Exactly - it annoys me when they try to bludgeon and guilt trip me into giving - I have my own priorities re. charity.
