did you watch? i did not. this is what i did instead...

1. took out the trash

2. started washing a load of towels

3. talked to my kid for a few minutes. told her i tried calling a bit earlier, that i wanted to talk to her one last time before the illegal deed took place. but she was in a little class with my grand girl.

4. tried on some clothes, getting rid of some, made a donation pile

5. reheated cup of coffee in microwave

6. listening to thom hartmann.

i saw on fb some people are wearing black. i am not. i'm wearing a sweatshirt with a cute drawing of a baby llama. the sweatshirt is warm and cozy and it's drafty in my place (and it's cold outside!). however, i was wearing a black sweater over the sweatshirt before i tried on clothes.

got more big plans for today:

1. making lunch for my furbaby and me

2. going out and trying to start the car

3. if it starts then i'll warm it up and

4. go get a cup of flavored coffee (i like the sugar cookie latte at starbucks)

5. trying on some more clothes on my return. maybe.

6. other stuff (not sure what at this point)

7. realizing i got thru the day in in spite of... things... and i can do it again, and again, and again

take good care everyone.

Not every 2 year old is selfish and destructive. This one is a total joy and pleasure.

I was still in bed, checking my phone, staying warm and cozy. It's 20 degrees outside!

I'm thankful for that because it gives me something to do. I also gave one daughter a pep talk. I for one won't stop fighting for this country, & I hope I'm not the only one. And tonight I'll watch the National Championship game. Hang in there, everyone!
