I’ve generally learned to be okay with living alone. But then there are times like right now when I’d really like a cup of coffee…

I started the morning standing on the porch, breathing in chilly early Fall air, and marveling at how 1-dimensional things look in the moonlight. I highly recommend this activity.

In case you’re wondering, people are still refusing the Covid vaccine. Two people in a row have walked in, asked for the Flu shot and said no to the Covid shot. You’ve been warned. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yesterday it was in the upper 80s. Today, the first full day of Fall, it was in the mid-50s and lows for at least the next week will be in the 40s. I do like it when the weather follows the calendar, but 40s this early in the year feels a little mean. 40s is November weather...

I'm glad the press is finally banding together against him. I do wonder how long it will last, but for today, it's good to finally see them at least looking like they're doing the right thing. Even Faux News cut away from JD saying, they'd return to him "if he made news". apnews.com/article/trum...

The annual Yard Sale has taken over the entire building at church. My office sits between the kitchen and the Nursery, both of which are filled with people all day long. I have a sermon, Chapel lesson, & Sunday School curriculum for 3 classes to write. I'll be working from home this week. Darn. 😏 ⚓

But why does the press never push back on him and his spokesmouths? Why don’t they call him on his bs or even defend and protect each other from his attacks? Why does the press normalize his behavior day after day. What would WH press walk-out look like?

But if we abolish the police who will steal 800 rolls of toilet paper from teenagers then report 650 rolls of toilet paper have been recovered before stealing 400 rolls of toilet paper out of evidence to sell on the street to teenagers

Rep. Green (TX) was supposed to bring articles of impeachment against T yesterday. I haven't seen if that happened or not, but I also don't think they'd make it through the R side of the aisle. It's nice to see some of Congress at least speaking out for once, though.

Another negative consequence of AI and kids: On Sunday, I broke the youth in to 2 teams to work on a game together. One team did great--everyone got to contribute and was having fun. The other team, 1 kid did all the work and wouldn't let his team help. I didn't know he was using AI until the end

Yesterday I vacuumed the house and scrubbed the bathroom floor. Today I mopped the house and am in the slow process of cleaning, lining, and reorganizing the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Labor Day weekend, indeed. Oh, and I’m reading with football in the background. I’m a happy girl.

A C-130 Hercules has been flying over my house for the last 1.5 hours and if you don't think that's annoying, you are very, very wrong. I'm sure it has something to do with the Corp or tomorrow's football game at Tech, but also, whenever the military is flying around, I get nervous these days.

It's 1:42 and I'll I've done so far is eat breakfast and take a nap with the cat. And yes, I do feel guilty about it but I'm going to push that feeling down and hope I feel motivated to clean and do laundry later. Or tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow.

Just when we think they can't get any dumber or more evil, they've created an "arcade" of racists games for kids. The "round up the immigrants" one is especially disgusting.
