The good people of Jamaica are living in hurricane hell right now, at this moment, as a Category 5 storm rakes over their beautiful island home. Holding them in my heart. I have a candle lit for them all day. 😥

In good news for today, Chaka Khan the Chicken is not in chicken-menopause and has returned to laying her gorgeous blue eggs. She was just angry about winter. LOL XO to Chaka. #backyardchickens

Someone is putting stickers up at our grocery store explaining who is at fault for what and I (1) really appreciate this and that the staff are leaving them up and (2) need these stickers so I can put them on things too. LOL

The time is always right to stay petty and use correct names. Like NJ does on 287 headed into 87. Stupid Cuomo (another megalomaniac) renamed it in 2017 and the sign still hasn't been changed. I don't know anyone who uses the "new name" when talking. This is how you do things the right way.

Things are horrible. Here is our dog with her pouting face because it is cold in her ski hat and blanket that her grandma knit and sewed for her because she is def not spoiled. I hope this ridiculous photo helps someone smile today.

They will prob discontinue all the awesome stamps. Especially of US heroes they don’t like. I’m going to the post office weekly to buy up all the stamps I can (and to say nice things to my local post office people).
You might want to also. 💟

Our neighbor’s chickens love to go for walks. They were out in the snow a few days ago. Mine are no longer going for walks until a new fence goes in this spring for the yard because they did bad and embarrassing things which involved our mailman having to ring my doorbell. LOL 🙄
