For anyone fooled by the exaggerations, here's video my husband took Tuesday as he was leaving court in Downtown LA about 5pm. It's an obvious statement, but apparently needs to be made: Our government should not turn the military on its citizens. #LosAngeles #Protests #BillofRights #ThisIsAmerica 🇺🇸

There's a lesson in how, even while so many are bent on destruction in this world, flowers still bloom. Today in Descanso Gardens, La Canada Flintridge, CA

This is my 6th nightly post on Bluesky. I hope to stop missing Twitter (not X) soon. Good evening from SoCal. If you're having trouble relaxing, watch a comedy. The friends on the TV show Starstruck have the vibe of the friends in the film Notting Hill. And star Rose Matafeo should be in everything.

5th nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from Socal. If you're having trouble relaxing, read a book. Read a book of interviews that you can stop after any chapter. Read a book of jokes. Read something you can finish in under an hour. No, the internet doesn't count. You can't finish the internet.

3rd nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from SoCal. If you're having a hard time relaxing, here's a pic of my dogs. 5yo Pickle is the brown supermutt on the left. 3yo Summer is the white German Shepherd mix on the right. Typically when I see them sleeping, I yawn. You're welcome.

Good evening from SoCal. 2nd nightly post on Bluesky. Hey, you can't solve the world's problems in 1 night. If you're having trouble relaxing, try Solitaire. Me? When I finish in under 4 minutes, I probably have some thoughts left to think. If I don't, I give myself permission to let go of today...

OK, I'll make another attempt at forming a new habit. First nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from SoCal. It's odd how we forget to use our fireplace until the holidays come along. If you're having trouble relaxing tonight, start a fire. (In a fireplace) Or enjoy ours! ❄️⛄❄️

Much like trying to form any new habit during a holiday, my goal of replacing other social media sites with Bluesky for 30 days completely busted over Thanksgiving break. It wasn't that I was perusing anything else. Just not interested... 🤔 #HappyHolidays #NewYearGoals

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

I need to get a toy computer for my dog Pickle. Anytime I work sitting somewhere other than my desk, this is the situation. 😆

Always the nightowl working, but I haven't forgotten my 10th nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from SoCal. If you're having a hard time relaxing, here's one of my favorite pics I took of Pickle when she was a pup. Breathe in water, breathe out snow, breathe in cuteness overload. You're welcome.

8th nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from SoCal. Last night I filmed Pickle sleeping on the sofa. 😆 She hasn't passed out in this position before. Maybe dogs are stressed over approaching threats to democracy, too. Is there evidence of you like this? No? Hey, you're doing better than you think!

7th nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from SoCal. Trouble relaxing? Don't count sheep (or senators). How many birds can you name without Google? I've witnessed this game relax ages 6 to 86. I'll start. Here's a pic I took of our favorite neighborhood visitor. Now close your phone. And your eyes.

6th nightly post on Bluesky. Good evening from SoCal. If you're having trouble relaxing, try watching a comedy. Shrinking eased my migraine last night. I started the series bc Harrison Ford was cast; I stay for Jessica Williams. 👏 Season 2 group vibe feels like New Girl; adding Damon Wayans Jr. = A+

4th post on Blue Sky. Good evening from SoCal. I took this pic awhile back. If you're having trouble relaxing tonight, a hug might help. Sure, give your pumpkin a try. You're welcome.

3rd post on Blue Sky. Good evening from SoCal. My youngest kid painted this version of Claude Monet's Poppies a few weeks ago. If you're having trouble relaxing, try painting. Or if you don't have supplies handy tonight, grab a pencil and scribble super fast to release the terror. You're welcome.

2nd post on Blue Sky. Good evening from SoCal. Here's a pic I took awhile back of a sunset over the Pacific. If you're having trouble relaxing, it's OK to stare deeply into this sun. You're welcome.
