Driving through the desert in the rain. I know, the central valley is an agricultural mecca, but it's still a desert. I kinda wish I could stay at Dad's to enjoy it, but needs must and onward I go.

Met with my care coordinator today, who helped me apply for a section 8 wait-list last week before the online portal crashed & people have to apply in person. Thousands of people applied for a wait-list for a CHANCE at a voucher. There are no vouchers. A real concern is that HUD will be dissolved.

Since I have so many Demeter scents to try, here's one I was excited about: Witching Hour. Claims to have 3 of my fav notes: Amber, Blood Orange and Vanilla. I'm not getting any of these. It smells very green. I'm getting a bit of vetiver. #fragrancesky #perfumesky #witchy #perfume Don't hate it.

Controversial Opinion (perhaps) Demeter Fragrance Gin & Tonic doesn't smell much like gin or tonic. Discuss. #perfumeaddict #perfumesky #fragrancesky #demeterfragrancelibrary

It's a fundamental law of nature that one piece of spinach will find it's way to wedge between your teeth, usually when you have no floss at hand. Inevitably it will irritate you for hours before you finally extricate it. Even after it's gone, you'll feel it.

Some years ago I begrudgingly switched to e-readers because of aging eyes & disabilities that make holding a book difficult, allowing me to continue my reading obsession. I've been having the urge to hold physical books - especially favorites - even if I can't read them. Anyone else? #booksky

Verified. I had a panic attack reading the staggering amount of executive orders and policies that Danger Yam gleefully rescinded on his first day in office. Pretty much all protections for anyone who isn't cishet, healthy, rich and pasty are gone. Environment? Health Care? Science? Not in America.

This is HORRIFIC. Selected screen caps of some of the worst bits. This administration is discriminating against large portion of it's citizens, it's yanking civil rights, and protections in schools, prisons, health care, housing, etc. This stems from fear & power mongering. None of this is science.

Is anyone going to be keeping track of all of the things Danger Yam has promised and threatened to do: tarrifs, all kinds of crimes against immigrants, Gulf of 'murica, taking Greenland & the Panama canal, threatening prosecution, etc VS what he actually follows through on?

Things I can't unsee: Elon Musk going full Nazi salute, Melania with her hat hiding her face (we can still see you) and the felon that Christians praise because he upholds their *cough* values, won't even put his hand on the Bible to take his oath. What a 💩 show! This is fine. Everything is fine.

THIS. ALL OF THIS❤️

Today's Cards are apt: 8 of Blues (cups) and Success. I may want to get out of my current situation, and I can, but it's going to be a slow and steady journey to success.

Let's take care of each other, because the federal government sure won't.

Let's be kind and help one another.

I didn't, couldn't, watch a felon being sworn in today, while bracing for another four years of suffering. Meanwhile, WE will be the ones serving his sentence.
