When you have a partner and husband who quietly helps in the community, I have one. We have hauled cases of canned goods for a couple of weeks. He has shopped with me all over the county. He did all the work behind the scenes. Then he did his own job. The unsung hero of the week. @peabjellytime

So random Siggy is eating next to Loki who hasn't been here for 8 months. He walked in like it was his house. It was sort of. He can be our winter cat. He belonged to another house nearby. He didn't like it there. Siggy is adjusting. It's been days of in and out adjusting. Good for now.

First week in a year I have not read a book (except at Storytime) I miss it, but being busy for a reason gives me grace on the books. Food insufficiency matters. Do something.

Complicated home.. cats. We fostered a stray that came back. Siggy is great. Loki left our street 8 months ago and has been randomly coming back in our house for 3 days. He walks in like a boss. Siggy is confused. Hours today they tried to figure it out. He's out, she's zooming.Cat signal here.

I was the DJ Karaoke person at our local watering hole tonight to help them out. We did Karafun trivia mostly. It was fun. Organizing donations in the morning to distribute Meal in a Bag. I got so many donations tonight. I love my people.

A friend and I started a Meals in a Bag program this week to provide help for our local community. It's The Stone Soup Project. We will have food available next week. Eight hours after we launched we already have incredible response. I love our people. Do that wherever you are. They want to help.

My daughter had to put her and the family loved dog down, They buried her in the back 40 at the edge of their yard (11 acres). Visable from the house. The cat, Whitey Bulger, who cuddled with her every day, now lays next to her grave in the yard. My grandson saw it, we talked. Family.💔

The results tonight across the country tells a tale. The people who live normal lives they have for decades do not want what is going on. No party ideal, just finally a moral compass. Stunning, but heartwarming as well. We shall see how this goes. Peaceful protest wins every time.
