All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thank you for the ~ma for my mom. Reports are good so far. My dad is not very communicative (he's sending a daily group text) so I called my brother last night for more details and to conspire on providing help that will be needed but not asked for.

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks for the update, aurelia. Good to hear.

So the co founder of The Federalist wrote a ....scathing is not the right word..he tore Matt Gaetz to shreds in his substack.
Choice quotes are : "His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. "
And "There are pools of vomit with more to offer the earth than this STD-riddled testament to the failure of fallen masculinity."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awwww, yeah, that's the stuff. Pure vitriol, accurately deployed.

Always Anti-fascist!
Even if agreeing with anyone at the Federalist makes me want to scrub for days...

Erika I don't want to agree with him either but it makes it somehow more viscous coming from an arch conservative.
Also, I hadn't realized how loathed Matt Gaetz was by Republicans

Yeah, I agree on both counts. (Once I stopped scrubbing. my brain.)

EM came by this morning and we sorted through papers for two hours.
I didn't get to run before she came, though, as a had a writing deadline to address. But I got that done, so now I have a small to-do pile to face and dishes to put away and laundry to fold.
Otherwise that's productive enough for today. Well...maybe I'll cook a frittata.
Hard to believe Thanksgiving is a week from Thursday! I've got to order a turkey!
adds "order turkey" to the to-do list
We're expecting heavy rain to start hitting us tomorrow with an "atmospheric river" that will last days. Then more next week.
