As a parent, I never realized *how much* of my adult life would be fighting for the living things in my house to go potty.
Dog? Won't touch wet grass. Or go out in dark. Or if there's a little noise. Will hold it out of our spite.
Kid? Needs 382715 negotiations before even entering the bathroom.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history.
Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

Me: "Oh, #ReadtheRainbow is next month and I'd love to make a ton of little things to hand out!"
Also me: "You crammed all your obligations into a single freaking month and have zero extra time for new things."
Well....damn 🤣

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law.
I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs.
Stay away at this time.

This morning I got up before my alarm, got ready for the day, took care of the animals, scooped the litter box, got a Pango package in the mail, started a load of laundry and unloaded the dishwasher...all before 8am.

The combination of firing all the air traffic people and then firing all the weather experts means air travel in this country is going to become even worse, and not slowly.

A lil #ShelfieSunday to round out the week (because nothing else is happening tonight, right? 😂)
This week - my #ReadTheRainbowSigning shelf! These are books from attending authors I've already collected. Some signed, some not, but the unsigned ones I'll be bringing with me to remedy that 😉
