Fitted sheets

October 2, 2026 / / 0 Comments

I didn’t know the bedsheet conundrum was resolved. 

If your fitted sheet only has a single care or manufacturer tag, look for that single corner and place it on the bottom-right corner of your bed. This instantly aligns the long and short sides correctly.

It should be easier to distinguish between a bottle of shampoo, conditioner or body wash.

Also, why are there so many brands of body wash?   I’m just talking about in the sandalwood aisle.  Guys used to just use a bar of soap.  It’s probably some kind of generational/metro-sexual thing.

Sparky had more fun than I did.

Sparky got a car ride as I hitched up the camper, and moved it back 30 feet off of the aux. driveway.  It was barely a car ride, but Sparky didn’t seem to know the difference.  After that, Sparky got to spend the day outside as I edged and scrubbed the driveway.

A week ago, it looked like I’d be able to seal the driveway, before the weather turned too cold.  I need two warm days, but it may be too late in the year.

Creatine helps.

Science Daily:  Creatine may help build muscle even without exercise

Research article:  Effects of creatine supplementation with and without exercise and diet intervention on body composition cognitive function and markers of health.

CrM [creatine] supplementation without exercise training and diet intervention increased lean tissue mass, strength, and muscular endurance while promoting favor-able changes in selected blood lipids, HbA1c, and selected markers of cognitive function and memory.

Do the reading, but in short, 10 grams of creatine improves physical and mental performance in old folks.  Physical exercise enhances the benefits.

The risk is negligible, so I’m going to try it.  Coincidentally, I had blood work done yesterday, so will have some numbers to compare.

Sparky plays along.

When it’s chilly, we like to sit outside, wrapped up in a light blanket.  Sparky wants to watch the night  for invaders.  I like to cover us with the blanket, and tell him that we’re in a tent.  Sparky plays along until I get it out of my system.
