I need THIS outlet!

I am back if only for a brief commentary or two.

Sad to say, I did not attend any rally yesterday. My body wasn't into it. My thoughts were there, though.

I can only hope that my fellow citizens have seen enough writing on the walls to make a change. 

I read an interesting article in "The Independent" concerning a reason the administration may have touted it's latest cancelled TV public spectacle: to introduce us to a horror and numb us to the effect. Kind of like watching live-action military strikes on "suspect" boats. The first one was horrific. The reactions to latest was "Oh, they are at it again." Sigh.

There have been a multitude of such introductions in this administration. Click your heels together three times and the immigrants get whisked away. There's no place like home (Congo)  when your home is Guatemala? "Their cheating in elections" has become as numbing as KARS FOR KIDS. 

From Mr. Google AI: Confirmation Bias: Once you notice it a couple of times, your mind begins to look for and remember instances that confirm it is everywhere while ignoring the many times it does not appear. 

RESIST!


This concludes my public service rant for the moment.

    OMG, well stated. It is absolutely mind numbing. Feels like a nightmare, but. . . . it persists in the daylight hrs. People need to wake up. I pray the mid-term results send a HUGE message to ALL politicians . . . we’re mad as hell and not going to take it any more.

 It's raining, it's pouring, my old man is snoring! I am living a new normal.  Oh, wait, this has been my life for quite a while! After my hip surgery, an awesome adventure to which I have recovered in an amazing way, my DH insisted I slow down. Ha. He finally got an active call for the job he's been on for a while; sitting in a car by live wires brought down by disasters. Think ice, snow, tornadoes. It's easy for him as all he has to do is yell "get away from there" until the utilities fix the wires. What he didn't do was drink enough, sleep, take his meds (none). He passed out, landed on his head and received a TBI. Subdural hematoma and multiple hemorrhages throughout his brain. Lucky us, he has no deficits, a headache, 6 staples in the split in his scalp and a lumbar spinal injury that will heal with PT. I had to drive 6 hours to the trauma hospital, sit in it for three days with my elder daughter in tow, and bring him home 3 days after his injury. Ano...

 A day late, but here's week 4 of jabs. The scale was kind and showed me I had lost seven pounds at the end of three weeks. I'm now back to where I was in the beginning of December when I swore I could get under 200 pounds by NYE, at 202.  I then gained 2 pounds and started the new year a bit grumpy that I couldn't do right. Deja vu, all over again😬. My surgical weight was 204 and when I started the drug, I was 209. The creep. It's followed me all my life. I am consuming the same kind of meals I normally would. The volumes are a bit less and I have to force myself to eat the required amounts that are healthy for me; like adding two ounces of chicken to my salad is a chore. I find I hesitate to fill up on my beloved veggies as I need room for the protein. That 1/2 cup of elbow macaroni, three small meatballs and about 1/3 cup of sauce was hard to finish. After years of dieting I can tell a 1/3 cup of food from a 1/2 cup of food from a mile away. I can split a bagged sal...

 My once in a while post. Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for all of you. I am grateful that the Christmas cactus, once a twig of three leaves that fell off my dad's plant in 2001, has decided to bloom early for me on one side. There are small buds on the other side of the plant. I'm also grateful this chest was built by my dad. It holds half my hoard of yarn. I am grateful for a full table. I cooked and we joked about the "meals on wheels" I delivered to DD2's house where the four (five) of us had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving. No, it wasn't his plate. It was opportunistic jumping onto an emptied chair. And speaking of chairs. Behind this you can see the other hoard of yarn. The new chair is for the recovery of a new hip, planned for late February. It was a very short and quick run of "why does my hip hurt?" back in July to "oh, that's why" last month when the doctor told me it is bone on bone! I am helped by keeping in shape and going ...
