This day in History

The Women’s right to vote was ratified this day in 1920.

Let that sink in.

My mother was 5 years old.

Yum, ice cream.

A rare treat in this house. I don’t often buy it for us.

I thought we earned a gallon of it when I saw the salted caramel toffee label calling out to me from the freezer case.

Imagine if we gave peace a chance…

Wow, so that’s what the bottom of my freezer looks like…

This is the first time in a very long time that my freezer is almost empty. I held off on our food order this time so we could use up more of the food before a delivery arrived.

A delivery arrives later today.

Yay. Because it is scary to see my freezer so empty.

Should he or shouldn’t he

Book value on The Curmudgeon’s pick up truck is nowhere near what he thinks it should be. However, the cost of his insurance, registration, and inspections each year are almost three times what my van costs. Not to mention what it costs to fill his gas tank.

He drives his truck maybe once every 3 or 4 months.

I say he should sell it and buy a cheap to run used car. We have no use for a gas guzzling pick up these days.

Another bad MS day

His morning sucked. Weak, barely able to walk, he began his day.

He went up for his nap early, hoping more sleep would aid in making him better able to walk.

It did a minimal amount of help.

He’s repeating stuff once again. So tired of hearing the same shit, different day.

Dear Mr. Sessions

You may jail a hundred journalists, but for each one you jail, there are 10 more writers willing to jump in and continue to report.

You may try to stifle the free press but you will never succeed.

You are a crooked little man with delusions of grandeur supporting a narcissistic, misogynistic, racist, baby-man.

You will not win.

Crate dives!

You have never seen a dog jump so high, fly off a couch so fast, open a crate door and dive into a crate like Lucy did when that first loud *CRACK* of thunder went off overhead.

She spent most of the evening hiding in her crate as first one storm, and later, another came roaring through.

You’d hide too. It was LOUD!

Lunch…

The other day G and I had Applebees’ Caprese chicken for lunch. I’m going to attempt to make it for myself.

What happened to transparency in our government?

Openness, accountability, and honesty define government transparency. In a free society, transparency is government’s obligation to share information with citizens. It is at the heart of how citizens hold their public officials accountable.Jun 5, 2016Government transparency – Ballotpedia https://ballotpedia.org/Government_transparency
In other words, we no longer live in a free society.

Sleepy

Lucy had me up early in the morning not once, not twice, but three times before my alarm went off.

Results are in!

My polyps  were non cancerous.

I don’t go back for another colonoscopy for 10 years! YAY!!!
