Dear Gabby Welcome back to the Dear Gabby advice column. Can you believe this year is already a quarter over? As I often say, “Life is like a roll of toilet tissue. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes! With that in mind, I’m combining April Fool and Easter this year. I’m sending the great-grandkids out to look for eggs I haven’t hidden. And you know those chocolate eggs that are about the size of a grape? It’s really funny when you eat all the chocolate and wrap grapes in the shiny wrappers! Drop me a line at Dear Gabby at PostcardsLive.com/share if you need a no-nonsense solution to an asinine problem. They’re my specialty. DEAR GABBY I hate housework, and I hate to admit it, but rearranging piles and spraying them with Febreeze is my cleaning strategy. Does that make me a bad person? LAZY DAISY DEAR L D We can’t both be wrong! That’s my idea of Spring cleaning, too. I decided many years ago that both of us can’t look good at the same time--it’s me or the house. Many years ago, that strategy worked much better. GABBY DEAR GABBY I am barely middle-aged and still have all my faculties, but staying home for months on end has dulled my time perception. I’ve always been punctual, but now I’m always late, and I miss important dates. Please tell me this will go away when life returns to “normal.” WHITE RABBIT DEAR RABBIT When I was a little girl, our panties had the days of the week embroidered on them. Those would be very helpful right now. I have to believe we will all become ourselves again someday soon. Hopefully, we’ll be more thankful and more empathetic versions of ourselves. I would say to hang in there, but I hate it when people tell me that. At my age, I’m hanging everywhere. GABBY
