Old pocket Venus, married almost 50 years. Democrat, chocolate freak, British tv and writers, gardening, secret optimist, champion complainer. Leaving the bird. A dear friend’s profile, now passed, was one word. Bitter. Adding that in her honor.

All this screaming for new leadership. First step might be to shut your trap and vote for the dem every damn time.
When we have the numbers we’ll have the power but I understand it’s way more fun to stir the shit.
Keep it up.

Drunks in airports is pretty good too. It’s a great distraction from the fall of democracy and accepting that I’m too old and too addicted to a/c to move to Mexico.

This is the first time four of my rose bushes have blossomed at the same time, so in honor of that – and the unexpectedly rosy Supreme Court decision this morning – let’s do some #BloomScrolling. 😊🌹

The new Karen Pirie series brought the books to mind, I’d forgotten after reading the first six, not having real books on shelves to refer to that’s more likely to happen, now there are two more in case you’re looking. Val McDermid is a smart, engaging writer. Very enjoyable.

And just a week after momentum showed there's a real chance to make significant gains in 2026, and very likely recapture the House. Sheesh. Do we get everything we want from people we voted for? No. And we never have. But we're sure as hell getting nothing from the other side.

If you were gone tomorrow would all this reactive destructive ignorant shitposting have been worth your last day? Did it accomplish anything?

So what are we talking about today? Leaving the Democratic Party and permanently handing the government over to the Nazis?

When you protest the Democrats over this shutdown and caving instead of protesting the Republicans, you are agreeing with the Republicans the Democrats are the problem.

Folks, we need to have a little Civics #101 chat, because apparently the media no longer seems fit to explain to you whats happening.
So quick review:
The House passed a clean CR.
The senate has not passed anything.

Yesterday had usual breakfast, almond butter and raspberry spread on toast, coffee. A few hours later, a cookie. Found some pre covid fettuccinI, cooked, added a little traders sauce. Ate too much of it but only 1 o’clock so by bedtime ok. No protein, no veg, no problem. Weird.

So Cal Ed has a baseline program meaning after the expected amount of usage I get a small break on the excess used because I have to maintain a consistent temp in my living environment. They do this for people who require medical equipment, for people with MS, quadriplegia. Our HVAC is vital.

TRANE’s engineers, in Texas, closed our case by determining the house is “wet”, has some mysterious source of internal humidity. Maybe an underground stream. In southern California. House is dry. Demonstrably. Obviously.
Simple, true answer is system holding condensation and they can’t find it.

Had 9 cookies left in freezer. Somehow messed up my chocolate coffee icing. Ended up with 4-1/2 oz chocolate instead of usual 3, I think because initially added too much half&half. Net result, even more sickening than usual. I like sickening. 😋

Next week we turn chilly. We don’t have heat because new $25K TRANE heat pump doesn’t work properly, they can‘t find the problem therefore it doesn’t exist.
Obvious solution is replace equipment, their solution is to run out the warranty by delaying.
TRANE doesn’t support their equipment.

This thing with Trane saying their very costly HVAC system is working properly when it clearly, demonstrably isn’t is giving me PTSD. They say it’s the house.
I was a kid with MS when no one considered it as a diagnosis because it wasn’t understood. Yet. So it was me, not a disease. Until it was.
