I grew up in the suburbs of San Francisco in the 70s. I remember walking picket lines with my dad. I remember my orchestra teacher who drove a purple Porsche. I wish the world was as kind as I was taught it should be.
So, this little girl showed up here recently. I have thanked the cat dispersal system. I have named her Tangerine. Tangie for short.

So, I realize this isn't a super personal space... But dang anyone one wanna discuss PTSD from divorce? My first husband was abusive and gave me PTSD. Getting ready to divorce this one and having all kinds of stress just thinking about bringing it up.

Robert Cray released a song in 2020 called This Man. It is an anti Trump song. It was a favorite of mine then. Still is. Been listening to it over and over. Still relevant.

My mother in law has family in Ukraine. She talks to them all the time. She voted for that orange thing. I am so tempted to tell them. I won't. But oh the temptation. Especially with Rubio deciding with Russia and the UAE what they think Ukraine should do.

I hope to whatever higher power may exist,that Jack Smith makes it back to the Hague. And they file charges against the orange turd and his cronies for crimes against humanity.

I am wondering if I am being paranoid... I am going to start diverting part of my paycheck to a separate account from my joint account. I want to buy a house. This incoming regime is big on deregulation. Considering removing money and just keeping cash in a lockbox. Is that as crazy as it feels?

Go figure. I have been making pecan pie for years. I finally get my mil to let me make one for the New Years eve dinner. And it is the first time ever it didn't come out right. I use maple syrup and butterscotch schnapps. Tasted good but looked horrible.

I can't even begin to understand the annex Panama and Greenland thing. That would mean declaring war and taking foreign land. And yet these idiots scream when we suggest making Puerto Rico or DC a state. Of course there is no money to be made on peaceful transactions.

They knew. And they wanted it to be that way. They are bullies. They just don't want to be called bullies

2nd shift at my job has been passing COVID around like parade candy. Looks like we caught it. Amazing after working retail thru the early COVID years that we got it this year. We have been vaccinated from the start. Was a little late this year. At least this year it's not too bad.

So, apparently I had a false negative home COVID test. Was mildly ill. Scratchy cough, that's all. Got this year's booster. Been sicker than a dog for 2 days now. What a miserable weekend. My cat Nellie died unexpectedly Friday. I haven't even had a chance to mourn.

I cannot even begin to fathom how so many people ignored ALL the red flags. Oh wait.... Maybe they are like him.

And this is exactly the problem. A toxic culture full of fake machismo.

Part 2: She muses that Congress could grow a backbone and assume it. Or that a handful of unqualified cabinet members could. I am having a hard time seeing Congress grow a backbone.

Hopefully this can be an actual conversation. Something I miss. Reading the latest from Heather Cox Richardson. She discusses a power vacuum due to the old fart's incompetence.

I wish I lived in a state that cared about animals. The puppy mill next door is driving me nuts. They bark and howl all day and night. I am assuming underfed and cold and lonely. I assume because that is the problem there historically. I just haven't been over in a while to confirm.
