Amazon Prime Day continues, as does my purchase history...of the most boring sh!t possible. What deals have you snagged? Also, thoughts on my guardian angel (you'll never guess who she is), the NFL, Sesame Street and the misuse of quotation marks. Quite the cornucopia of topics.

Did ERCOT tried to take over your "smart" thermostat today? It happened to us!

I got into a conversation with someone earlier about "the good old days" -- and it made me wonder, were they?

ERCOT has come out with some additional recommendations for Texans to save energy during these peak usage period. They're so ridiculous you can't help but laugh!

This was a weekend of hunkering down in the cool while watching all the shows. And today, Texas' electrical gird is again teetering on the edge of failure...and it's not even the hottest part of summer! Yikes!

Warning: This episode of Cooped Up Live is filled with adult content...and by that, I mean things that only happen to you when you hit middle age, like picking out towels or hurting yourself in ridiculous ways.

This weekend was very...stimulating. (No, not like that!) Just lots of sights and sounds for someone who's been wholed up for a year. Also, do you have a funny Ambien horror story? Some folks here do!

It's Mason's 12th birthday. Let's celebrate my (not so little) boy!

It's so weird seeing people for the first time without a mask, right?! Also, do y'all keep losing your masks now that they're not required everywhere? I do!

Catching up on the long holiday weekend and kicking off Pride month!
