Today is Palindrome day 02/02/2020.

The last one was 11/11/1111 and the next will be 12/12/212.

This pleases me

Not only that but it is also the thirty-third day of the year and as it is a leap year, there are three hundred and thirty three days left.

getting the TV remote when shes out and turning the soaps off

Yes it is tea.

I also count my steps around the house if that provides an additional insight?
