Hmmm...while I tend to put longer YouTube videos in my blog (type item), I am tempted to share some shorter videos in my newsfeed (which I did for a while as a test of interest in a possible YouTube-related forum but haven't really done since).
I just folded my underwear and put them in a box in a drawer. Washed yesterday evening, hung to dry. The shirts should be dry as well. I don't use a dryer.
My trek across the bridge to go to market or to treat myself with a milkshake every Saturday is a weekly routine I look forward to.
The answer to that question is pretty involved, but there are themes I've seen come up a lot in many analyses: rosy retrospection making his previous actions seem less bad than they really were, men being actively courted by the GOP, low information voters (often voting on a single issue), and global discontent with incumbent parties.
With all that said, being scared is both reasonable and what the current "leadership" is hoping people feel. It's up to us to balance feeling that fear/despair and not surrendering to it. I hesitate to give advice on how to strike this balance. I know my approaches tend to not work for others. Perhaps the one thing I can say to start is there are voters with a sense of buyer's remorse out there. If you encounter them, why not lend an ear and let them talk it out? It's a way to start building a network.
The lady with the cat was either a scammer or a complete ditz. She kept ping-ponging around with her answers and would take over 24 hours to get back to me about a simple question. One day she was coming to town next Friday for their vet visit the next day by noon she'd been in town and was back home from an early vet visit she didn't think to offer to meet up while she was here. I thought okay so she is firm on the earliest on when they would go to their new homes. Then she texts me at 10 pm to arrange to drop her off today with payment. I told her I no longer had the money because I made it clear I couldn't track that far out of town for a cat. I suspect she would have asked for PayPal payment and that would have been the last I heard from her.
So we probably won't be getting the kitten. The breeder ghosted me after I asked if she could drop the kitten off after her vet appointment next Friday. They come in from out of town and I thought we could meet at the vet but she never answered me on which vet they used.
I'm bummed. She is a beautiful kitten. it sucks that they would just ghost me. They probably found someone else to rehome her with. The ad on Craig's list is gone. It's like she never existed. I didn't even get to meet her but I feel like I lost her. She was the perfect kitten... But perhaps the reality would have been different and she is really a mischievous demon spawn... And we got lucky.
We are thinking about getting a kitten. I found her on Craig's list. She's a calico and both of her parents are supposed to be maine coon cats she could be a big girl. I question if she's too good to be true but I want her a lot...
Yeah got everything I can think of purchased for my new bathroom. Toilet, floor, vanity with integrated sink, faucet, for under 500$ as long as the small stuff like paint and caulk doesn't nickel and dime me into the poor house and as long as I was correct in my measurements...
Fingers crossed.
Laundry day again, burnt out after coloring eggs with my nephew yesterday. For the record they were year old fake eggs. His daddy wasn't going to let him color eggs this year with the prices...
I have to say the newsfeed here is a great place to pick up new information from links and videos and rants oh my!
My wife has overheard songs posted by several people and rushed to put them in her Spotify playlist. I have rediscovered memories from my childhood with links to old commercials and clips from old shows.
I have also learned a lot about my fellow WDCers: quirks, personal histories, favorites, pet peeves.
Today is laundry day for grandpa. He is in his eighties. He comes and picks me up to go with him to help. He buys lunch I load the machines, I switch the machines. Half of the time he falls asleep in his chair. Then I fold everything but my brother in laws socks. (Let your imagination run as to why he dirties ten pair in a week and sends along no shorts or tshirts.)
I decided to blog about this because the May before last grandma passed. It made me very aware of how easily things can change, and outlined for me in silver the things that have not. I think laundry day is a comfort to grandpa because it is one day where he doesn't have to focus on the changes. He is free to forget that May and imagine Grandma is waiting for him at home, until the clean clothes are loaded in the car.
If you have had a loss try to find yourself a laundry day and let yourself have a little peace in that they are waiting for you in your true home.
Trump really scares me. He acts like he's already turned America into a monarchy, or dictatorship. He is cutting aid to the poor so he can cut taxes for the rich. WHY in the hell did we reelect a felon that has been bankrupt more than five times?
