Hi.. looked for a peaceful picture for today. Donkeys are cool, they simply do their thing…
Looking at me I appear rather harmless.. a gentle older woman, short cropped gray/white hair.. I wear a North American version of the two piece outfits, Asian used to wear.. I don’t have the Mandarin collar, I wear a scrub top instead… (convenient for cell phone, keys and small wallet) and silk or linen pant won’t work since I am active outside… so I wear a pair of dark jeans or loose travel pant.. .. in other words, I blend into the landscape…
Last night, this over 50 gentle woman took a sledge type hammer to a pill bottle. No I wasn’t angry, I was trying to open a child proof .. tamper proof bottle of (over the counter) pain medication .. after exhausting the push down, turn trick several times, I resorted to a special aid, bottle/can opener I have under my counter… even tried a wrench… It was after midnight and I had been trying for hours to be “adult”… finally I reached down into the “junk” drawer, and pulled out the “hammer” I bought for driving stakes into the ground. Placed the offending bottle on the bathroom bath mat and swung…
Hey! It took several good swings, before it broke, but that was just the cover.. then I had give it another well aimed blow before the rest came away so I could get at the gel capsule I wanted.. What is the expression…. where there is a will… there is a way..
That’s my story for the day… what’s yours.
“You can find true joy when you work creatively within the rules..”
Its Oct. 1 today, I can go crazy with fall colours.. and dust off my broom.
Oyashikiri
and NO . having a husband for such occasions… is not an option

Sledgehammer!
Ha, UNSTOPPABLE! 😀
Dymoon, I actually use donkey milk soap on my face. I looooove it.
I have never seen donkey milk soap .. ever!!!
Welllll, actually a vendor at the Farmers Market said she orders it from France. Her price, for a mini bar of soap, was $50. Truth. I found a lady who makes hers here in the US for much, much less for a regular size bar. Then she moved away, so I kept in touch and ordered it from her. I won’t use anything else because I like it as a facial bar. 💙🩵💙🩵💙
Like seat belts, child proof needs a child to open them
waves!!!

I love donkeys actually. I like the Chesterton poem about the donkey. I have to say that I open things with hammers all the time. There’s not a piece of packaging around these days that does not to the average consumer’s head in.
right on!!!
