#PandoraTheBabyPanther is trying to be camouflaged against the darkness… 🤣 At least that explains why the luggage was shaking. For a moment there, I thought it might be made from sapient pearwood.

#HamishTheOrangeDoofus insisted on “helping” with the laundry again, keeping me company while I folded and sorted things.
As usual, he’s stealing socks. 😂
I can’t be angry with him though. Look at that adorable little floofy face! 💕

I’ve been avoiding mentioning this as I’m so angry, but…
I am disgusted with the Democrats who sold (or enabled the selling of) the health and lives of millions of Americans down the river, for what? Their retirement plans? A little perceived power?
They’ve hurt people more than the shutdown did.

It’s November, California. Time to CALM YOUR NONSENSE and give us less scorching weather!
29C ☀️is not a sensible November temperature. Stop it.
In related news, I’m going to freeze solid in Scotland next week… 😆🥶

I came from a country the size of a postage stamp with good public transport infrastructure, so I’ve never bothered learning to drive.
Then I moved to the US, where’s it’s basically obligatory.
Had my first lesson yesterday, and it was awesome! Who says an old dog can’t learn new tricks?! 😂

Following the #Halloween prep and then chaos last night, I got three hours’ sleep.
Now I’m off to sing for five hours with the #choir.
I may hibernate for a month afterwards. I’m so exhausted! 😁

OK, I have Halloween-candied as many kids as I could (it was many!) but I’m nearly out of treats and completely out of energy, so I’m shutting it down for the night and going out to eat comfort food before falling into bed!

Stolen candy count is now at: 5
At what point does this warrant an intervention?
In other news, the trick-or-treating kids are ADORABLE.

I do appreciate it when my pet matches my outfit. Even when the pet in question is a shouty, sassy girl. 🥰

This is the look I get when I tell #PandoraTheBabyPanther to stop licking the electrical cables.
It’s kind of giving “Make me” vibes.
Of course, she then went straight back to licking the cables. 🙄

My favourite part of setting up next year’s #planner is using these tiny washi stickers to decorate my monthly spreads. It’s like there’s a whole group of adorable, itsy-bitsy people living their best lives in there. 😆

Predictably, #HamishTheOrangeDoofus got jealous, and took his sister’s place on my lap.
#PandoraTheBabyPanther is now doing a great job of being a Resentment Potato.

One day late for #Caturday, but whenever I sit cross-legged, #PandoraTheBabyPanther likes to curl up in a foetal position in the makeshift hammock formed by my long skirt over my knees. 🥰

🚨 #Shit4Brain's crew in Texas just flipped 5 congressional seats red with partisan mid-decade maps. Prop 50 lets Californians vote YES to offset the GOP gain & block his takeover.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors?
How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women?
How can we let them ziptie little children?
This Dolores Huerta video must go viral.
There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars!
Don't be silent!
Speak out!

So…much as I hate the company, I promised my friends’ son ages ago that I’d come to Disneyland with them for a couple of days, so I’m honour bound to do so.
However…
I’m wearing a bustle gown, corset, gothy boots, bat tights, shades and devil horns. And I donated money to charity in protest. 😁

In a WIN for Indiana students, a federal court denies the state's request to dismiss a pro-voting lawsuit challenging a ban on the use of student IDs for voting. The court said pro-voting groups have reasonably shown that the law was motivated by unconstitutional intentional age discrimination.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.
The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.
At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Ohhhhh, this. Ten years - one-fifth of my life - were spent dealing with #cancer, treatment and complications and it’s only really hitting me now how much I really lost: time, body parts, trust in the body that was left after around 15 surgeries.
This stuff is really…complicated. #BreastCancer
