Is his term up yet? 🤦 it feels like 8 years already instead of just 1—the chaos, unkindness, destruction, changes & craziness is INSANE 🤯 My mind, heart & soul feel battered—I don’t know how much more I can take.

Cool 😎

The USA about to represented abroad by an assorted bunch of dickheads and losers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump just killed five off-shore Wind Farm projects in the US. His commitment to prop up his donors in the fossil fuel industry continues. Energy prices will go higher. Billions in investment, lost. Climate costs, substantial. While the rest of the world innovates, the US falls farther behind.

Finished watching True Detective Night Country—no wonder it got the nominations it did. At first I decided to watch S1 in case watching previous seasons was necessary (wasn’t) but after not really liking it I skipped to S4 as wanted to check out Jodie Foster. Great acting/writing/directing etc

Going to make list of what I’ll be making Mom food wise for Christmas Eve/Day today—of course I may make some changes but things like this take planning, prepping etc so today is for the rough draft with final changes Monday night so I can start prepping & cooking Tuesday 🎄🎅

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Made Mom chocolate 🍫 zucchini bread 🍞 served with Twix flavored coffee creamer 🤤

Got bread that could be cut & made into bowls at the pantry the other day & I’ve been wanting to make turkey vegetable soup 🥣 so… turkey 🦃 onion 🧅 carrots 🥕 potatoes 🥔 green beans, broth & spices YUM 😋

It’s one of those days & I’m not sure I’ll be able to shake it. So I’ll just do my best to just focus on caring for my Mom & doing any cooking, baking & chores that I can. I miss my life.

🤦 you mean this guy:Blanche represented Trump during his 2024 criminal trial in NYC & worked at NYC’s oldest law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, where he served as a partner representing clients such as Rudy Giuliani associate Igor Fruman & former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort—Wikipedia

DoJ will NOT release all the Epstein files today. So predictable. They say they’ll release some today, and more later on a “rolling basis.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The Supreme Court blocked a lower court decision striking down Texas’s controversial mid-decade redraw of its congressional map for being racially discriminatory. @mcpli.bsky.social highlights takeaways from the Court’s ruling and explains what comes next.

Stephen Miller's cousin unloads on him: “We’re Jewish—we grew up knowing how hated we were just for existing. Now he’s trying to take away the exact thing his own family benefited from: that ability to prosper, to build community, to live a rewarding life.” newrepublic.com/article/2041...

These are presidential pardons for sale. He’s grifting and enriching himself at any cost, knowing he has the dirtiest legal team to defend him on tax payers’ dime

Made my 1st ever quiche with a crust—homemade using Cheerios—both crust & my 2nd quiche ever was a learning experience as I will make it differently going forward—It was too wet & boiled over & had smoke everywhere 😂 but it tasted good 👅

Made this several times lately. Sometimes add 🌽 to mine. It’s like healthy comfort food.

It’s -6 degrees out w/windchill of -19 BUT sun ☀️ is out so there’s that—might try warm coffee w/ creamer today instead of iced 😂 got alarm set for Mom for Chiefs game & hoping I have enough energy to bake &/or cook 👨‍🍳 I’m so stiff these days & my skin/eyes/nose etc hurt from dryness—might boil water💧

Happy 🕎

Starting our day with snow ❄️ & -12 windchill 🌬️ by tonight I think it’s suppose to be -20 something windchill. I so hate winter 🥶

Oh goody 😆 it may now be only -20 something windchill instead of -30 something this weekend 🤦 I miss the days when I could afford to run away to Palm Springs or somewhere warm in the winter—even if only for a long weekend. This is insane 😜 & it’s not even Jan or Feb yet!

This winter 🥶 weather is killing me 😵‍💫 My body just hates it & I’ve been in so much extra pain—was able to sweep latest dusting of snow so can take mom to doctor & run errand prior to next snow storm 🌨️ later today followed by below zero temps & then even more snow this weekend—I miss Florida today

An environmental group wants President Trump’s image removed from next year's national park passes, and it’s suing to try to make that happen.

Looks like we’re getting less snow tonight than I thought BUT the wintry mix/rain/traces of snow is being followed up by “near white out” w/up to 50 mph freezing winds—SO all that snow already on the ground is going to drift & freeze tonight.
