Every Day

Every day I see someone misuse the word everyday.  Every.  Stinking.  Day.

Moving on.

Yesterday Sam posed an interesting question:  If life were like a movie and came with a fast-forward and a rewind button, which would you push?

I didn't have to think about it long.  As a mother of four coming off two years of marital hell, I knew that I didn't want to go back in time.  But even in the midst of a divorce I am an incurable optimist.   I always anticipate that things will be easier/better/calmer when...

...I lose twenty-five pounds.
...we have more money.
...the kids are older.
...my house is clean.  (The rest may actually come to pass.  Alas, this one will not.)

Lately I have learned to make peace with the present.  My house is a mess but it is mine, and I'm no longer waiting for someone else to clean up after themselves or fix things.  I see that the lawn needs mowing and I know that I'll get to it when I have time.  I enjoy every day, the ones with the boys and the rare ones without.

This weekend my soon-to-be ex-husband will be taking the boys camping.  While there he will be introducing them to his girlfriend (haven't come up with a snappy name for her yet....give me time).  I could stew and fret about this, but I have decided that the best thing for me to do is focus on my own terrific weekend, puttering in the garden, spending time with good friends, and wallowing in the knowledge that I am loved and in love, every day.

The fruit of keyboard enthusiasts, often metaphorically referred to, is "Keycaps." Keyboard enthusiasts often customize their mechanical keyboards by replacing keycaps with different colors, designs, and materials to enhance the aesthetic and tactile experience of typing. This practice is known as keycap customization or "keycap sets," and it's a popular aspect of the mechanical keyboard hobby.

I'm not aware of a specific keyboard brand or model called "TOkyo PREss." It's possible that it could be a lesser-known or niche keyboard, and my knowledge only extends up until September 2021, so I may not have information on very recent or obscure products. If "TOkyo PREss" is a newly established brand or a specialized product, you might want to look for information from more up-to-date sources or forums related to keyboards and technology.
