I had to put this amaryllis outside as ants suddenly appeared on it. It has stayed this beautiful despite temps in the 20’s for a week. I’m going to be like this amaryllis—hold strong and thrive despite the harsh conditions I find myself in. I—we will survive and thrive.

Just watched Midnight Cowboy on AMC.

It’s an MGM film. How sad that the regal imprint of MGM is also on the vanity propaganda project aka “Melania”

How far the mighty have fallen.
