Most joy I ever get, talking to the little one on skype, well, I guess you would call it listening to four year old stories

C0LLETTE · 10-07-2020, 07:52 AM

I found 5 new masks under the sink.

Gemme · 10-07-2020, 09:39 PM

I found one of these guys alive. That's not usually the case so I helped him to a grassy area so he can sleep through winter.

The bad news is, that if the forecast is correct, I'm in for a hella nasty winter because he was almost allll black. Of course, we've had a couple of mild winters back to back so I've been expecting it. No joy there.

No more daylight savings time. yesssssssssssssssss

Wrang1er · 10-08-2020, 10:46 AM

Voting! I stood in line for an hour and fifteen minutes. I am glad that part is over.

My phone interview went well and I have a video interview on Monday. If I get this job I will be extremely joyful and grateful.

Yesterday I spent time chatting with dear old friends. What a great day. The pandemic may stop us from visiting but a phone call can really put a spring in your step. Joy.

Took a walk...

Took a walk through my neighbourhood and noticed that people are starting the annual "winter prep". We all pray and hope that the seasonal cycles will stay relatively constant but we prepare for anomalies and , at worst, disasters.

We look forward with joy to our "4 season" climate and realize with dread that human beings may have f**cked that up forever.

Our politicians owe us their best efforts to prevent or at least forestall that cataclysm till we can figure out what to do.

If they fail at that, what does it matter what else they do.

Joy to the World.

Satire from the Borowitz Report in the New Yorker...

Susan Collins Concerned That Amy Coney Barrett Too Indecisive.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Calling the Supreme Court nominee’s testimony “worrisome,” Senator Susan Collins said that she is concerned that Amy Coney Barrett is too indecisive to sit on the nation’s highest court.

“When she was asked a question, she often appeared hesitant, evasive, and wishy-washy,” Collins said. “That’s no way for a person serving in a high government position to behave.”

The Senator from Maine said that Barrett’s dithering verged on being “annoying and even aggravating.”

“The American people deserve decisiveness from their public officials, not relentless shilly-shallying,” Collins said. “This is the sort of vacillating that makes people despise you.”

Asked whether she would ultimately vote to confirm Barrett, Collins waited for a full minute before responding, “I am deeply troubled and concerned by what I have heard from her to date, but would need to hear more before I could come down one way or another on that.”

I got to have my nephews for a few hours today. I see them so sparingly now with them in school and all of us trying to stay covid free. We had an outside play date for two hours while my sister in law got to go out to lunch with a friend. I brought chalk and this thing to make snow and slime. We had a lot of good messy outside play time. Best was we made optical courses modeled after the sensory hallways that a lot of schools are doing. I made them one and then they made another one of their own creation. I wore them out, as promised.

Gemme · 11-02-2020, 10:08 AM

Rubbing on my boy! He's so soft and he looks so cute. Also, not having to work in this wind. The wind chill brings it from the 40s to the 20s today.
