It’s hot AF, and the air is 💩, but I’m going to go jump around in the pool because it’s amazing and I like not hurting.

Killer ICE agent reportedly has shocking history of violence

He is not exaggerating. He is LYING.

He’s a wannabe dictator. Now he wants to pull the licenses of ABC and NBC for not participating in his festival of lies. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is what happens when Krispy Kreme has a BOGO sale and you have a gift card. 😋

Going to go have a chat with Mark Warner this evening to tell him I approve. Keep saying the things, Mark! 👏

MAD MAN TRUMP WITH MORE LIES! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump #EpsteinFiles #POTUS

I’m so sick of hearing about all the grifts and money-grabbing bullshit.

How long will it take before ANY country takes the United States seriously again? Years? Decades? That clown has done more damage than Russia or China could have EVER hoped to do.

Vermonters marched from Burlington City Hall to the federal building on Elmwood Ave. on Thursday to stand up against ICE agents killing immigrants across U.S. FULL STORY⬇️ www.mynbc5.com/article/verm...

In other news… *2 weeks of summer break left *my father isn’t speaking to me * my son is turning 21, dating someone, and moving out *groundhog killed the zucchini and maybe cukes *still no water solution/my brother is useless *I’m in a pretty bad mood *meh.

The countdown is on to my Rick Fix Saturday night. Getting pretty antsy waiting. What will I wear? 🤪

Follow your dreams, you chickenshit.

Do me a favor. Don’t book a luxury like a Caribbean cruise then bitch about the heat. Some of us are just trying to pay bills, and we are both hot and bored.

Today was kinda rough. Managed to paint a little this evening.

We shall see. I’m out of practice. 🎨

A return to acrylics…not sure I’m enjoying it. 🖌️

A gathering of Blue Jays. A fourth showed up not long afterwards

Chaos Garden experiment: Accidentally sprouted potatoes in the Chaos Kitchen. Let’s see what happens. 🥔 🤞

NEW: Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is dead at 71. Graham died after a brief, sudden illness. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/12/u...

RIP Johnny Gage. Chicks dug you and guys wanted to be like you.👊 www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/r...

I’m about to enter a mopey phase…teetering on the edge. Staring down the end of summer, and I’ve accomplished nothing and been nowhere. In fact, I’ve been stressed the f*ck out. On top of all of the continuous issues, now the Boy says he’s moving out. Sigh, I’m not ready for this. 😢

My teeny little zinnias finally bloomed, after critters chomped them multiple times, and we grew some salad. 🥗

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good beach/pool read. Entertaining, not emotionally draining.

I thought he hated Socialism and Communism? I guess government-run gas stations are FREEDUMB!

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

Georgia O’Keeffe knew what’s up.

If I don’t do anything else for the rest of the day, I’ve pulled up dead foxgloves, transplanted coneflowers and rudbeckia, touched grass (and dragged it in with me onto a freshly-mopped floor), and straightened up the drunken gladioli. Now to solve the rest of the world’s problems.

Pan-seared mahi, bacon-wrapped asparagus in the air fryer, buttery potatoes with butter and Thai basil, and a pissed off cat who’s pouting because he can’t have any of it due to gratuitous amounts of jarlic. Not bad for a Monday.

Day 199. Survivors are still waiting. Congress ordered the remaining Epstein files released. The Department of Justice has yet to comply. Millions of records remain hidden from the people they belong to: the survivors and the public.

Monday morning serenity shots from the garden. The world can be crumbling around me, but if I stay right here, all is well.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

The way you treat your parents as an adult usually reflects on how they treated you as a kid. Some truths take years to catch up with you. This is one of them.

I try to take the high road, I really do. I like to preserve my peace of mind. But here’s the thing: If I don’t SAY the thing that needs to be said, there will never be peace of mind. I can’t stop thinking it, and that doesn’t go away until I say it. So then, I’m a bitch. Alrighty then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Let the countdown to Rick begin NOW! 🗓️

Movie date. Super Girl was fun!

Stewie the Ninja Groundhog snuck past a trap and into the garden, where he ate a baby zucchini. But the short bastard didn’t get these cukes.

2 pounds this week! Slow and steady wins the race. 💪

It’s a trap!

Bookmark this Trump post and check to see if he bought Micron on his next disclosure

Coffee in the garden this morning (and every morning)

Love him!

Chasing groundhogs in my nightgown is not how I wanted to spend today.

Trying to photograph water drop reflections and accidentally got an unknown critter in the frame. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And now, researching groundhog recipes. 😤
