And we came up with this food called -- we called it Pafafo. We called it Pafafo because we were messing around one night. My friend was writing on me with ballpoint pen, and she was writing, she was writing on my hand, but for some reason I was looking at it in a mirror, and so like I got all turned around trying to read it in the mirror, and, and -- she had been writing "potato", but it looked like "pafafo" to me. So I just -- it came out -- was like, "What's Pafafo?" So, that's where we got the word, but the -- Pafafo was a very particular kind of anything, food-wise. Anyway, so we had like a few cans of canned spinach, which are not awesome to eat, and we had spaghetti sauce, and pasta, I think. I think there was also, I don't know, black olives might’ve been involved, cheese might’ve been involved. But we, we mixed this mess together and threw it in the oven. And being like -- we just thought it was a weird combination for some reason. It doesn't seem like that weird a combination to me now, but I guess I eat a lot of spinach mixed into pasta with other random things anymore. So that was the original Pafafo, was this, this mess. And just, yeah, every once in a while, we'll still make something and my friend will be like, "Yeah that's Pafafo." And I'll be like, "Yeah, it is, isn't it?" Pafafo’s usually good though. It's not like gross stuff mixed together. It's, it's like good stuff mixed together. But, like one time, I baked a potato. I don't know what I was thinking. I baked a potato and then I put -- I think I put a little butter, and cheddar, and hummus, and avocado, and I think, like, chopped tomato? Like I put all this stuff on this baked pota- -- like it probably would have been okay had it not been for the hummus and the avocado. And it was so good, like it was -- I wolfed it down. And then my stomach was like, "What the heck did you just do?" ‘Cause there was, there was nothing bad on it, um, but my stomach was just like, "This is really weird. You ought not to have done that." And I never…

November or October of 2024, I was really stressed out about an exam that I had. It wasn't a final exam or anything. It was just like a unit exam, and I was kinda stressed out about it more than the others, I thought that I was gonna do really bad. And it was a lot of content, and it really stressed me out. And so, to make myself feel better, I decided that if I did get a good grade, I told myself if I got like a 95+ on that exam, then I would buy this, this brand called Jellycat. I'm absolutely obsessed with that brand. Jellycats are like a little stuffed animal, and they're so cute and adorable. I don't know what it is about Jellycats but I just absolutely adore them, and they are on the pricier side for, for like what it is. Like you would think that a four-inch tall peanut would be like five dollars. So that's what I bought. Um, I ended up doing well on that exam and I use those -- that 20, it was $22. I used the $22 to buy this Jellycat of a peanut, and he's just like a circus peanut type thing, and I expected him to be a lot bigger when I bought him for $22. I expected something like, you know, like maybe 10 inches tall or something. I don't know, like a normal size, but it literally fits in my hand. That's how small he is, and I spent $22 on him. I mean, he's adorable. I love him, but it's -- he's so tiny and I -- for $22 for like, that little of fabric and that -- I don't know, that brand is extremely overpriced for what it is, but it is adorable and I always fall into that. I mean, I don't regret buying Peanut, I guess, ‘cause it was kind of an award for studying hard, you know? So, I think it's okay that I bought him, but sometimes I do stare at him for a little longer and I'm just like, “Why did I buy that?”

So our cruising buddies and I -- us decided to go on a cruise in 2018 on the Hudson River. We were leaving from New York City and we'd go up the Hudson River to the top and then turn around and come back. It was a week, a week, uh, cruise. It was very nice. But, it wasn't as nice as any of the other things. And this was from that American Cruise Line company, that ever- -- that brags about their cruises. And everybody that we know that's been on one of their cruises has said that their cruises are wonderful. "Oh, it's just lovely." Well, this one wasn't quite so lovely. It had some problems, and, it was just not that great. We got started, they took -- we flew into New York City. We had a great cab driver. He took us to the boat. We got on the ship, we got our cabins, we went to lunch, and we were supposed to go from there and get on a bus and go on a tour of New York City. We went to the 9/11 Memorial, which was lovely and it was a beautiful fall day, and that part of it was lovely but we didn't go anywhere else. They didn't take us by Central Park. They didn't take us by anything at all famous or interesting.  And after dinner, we went down -- we began our trip out of New York on the, on the ship. And we were headed towards Sleepy Hollow, which is cool and spooky. But we only saw the Statue of Liberty from a distance and, I mean, we were in the Hudson River right in front of it. We could’ve gotten a little closer, I think. There were a lot of things about that cruise that were not that great. It's bad when you know -- and I am a retired history teacher, and I do love Revolutionary War history, but it's bad when you know more than your tour guides. And you feel like you oughta take over, and you have to just sit there and listen to them. And they look at you like you're rude and, and stupid because you're not paying attention. Well, I'm not paying attention ‘cause I know way more about it than you do. But, anyway, that was -- I was being a…
