my inner etymologist (ie) is obsessing again. ie is like a beaten crazy bitch wolf with a juicy bone. she just won't let go.

anybody? ie wants to know. she's a pushy little psychodevil.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Saying "I hope this helps" is intended to show good will and kindliness to the person who posted, from the responder.
Is it a new phrase? Probably. Much like "no problem."
Do we want to be all rigid in our thinking about this phrase or even the "no problem" one even if it grates on our ears? No. But you know what, we are all just human and from now on, I will very likely be zeroed in to not say your phrase or start to notice it. Sometimes these phrases come in waves, we start to notice them and it can drive us a bit nuts for a while. Like an ear worm song that just plays in your head until finally, days, weeks, later it just goes away.
love the term, "ear worm song." consider it stolen. alas, my ear worm songs don't just go away. there are jingles from the '60's which still pop up to haunt me on seemingly random occasion.

oh what a relief it is
