Join me in wearing a mask when you're out of the house. I'll fist-bump you at the grocery store.

I blame the moon. This is ridiculous. I might be catching naps, but I haven’t really slept yet. I’m gonna be cranky.

Finchy inspired me, so here are some 2025 books I read and suggest, as well as my numbers for the year. 63 books read. 12% non-fiction. This is kind of my standard. I always wish I'd read more non-fiction, but it takes longer and often bums me out. (Reality does, in fact, bite) What did I read...

Just finished S1 of Pluribus. This is disturbing. Components ring very real from our early 2020 COVID lockdown, and parts of it seem very possible going forward. Entertaining? I suppose. A cautionary tale? Absolutely. It's like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or A Brave New World. Consume with your eyes open.

Merry Christmas skeeple.

This year I played with felt.

It’s a #NMrollcall Sunday out there, what’s your plan for the day? I’ll be finishing a couple of Xmas crafts/gifts and promise to post pictures when they’re done. Did anyone see meteors last night? I didn’t, I have this big mountain blocking my view to the east. Think last night’s insomnia was

Bears repeating. Lessons from Dr Snyder’s book On Tyranny.

Hello Saturday! #NMrollcall anyone want to chime in? I woke early (for me), so now I'm looking at errands. On a Saturday. That's poor planning. But I need green felt for a Xmas craft - can't wait to finish it and show you! Sunshine galore, you know I love it. Laundry is in. Butter is on the

Looking for a Christmas movie you haven't seen before? I strongly recommend An Arthur Christmas.

Dang, I'd love to see this!

36 hours after my 2nd shingles shot I feel normal again. That was a weird one. But no regrets!

If you have an inactive XM radio (in your car) - turn it on! Free tunes until December 1st!

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message. /1

Book authors, take note.

Rough morning. I hate that the shutdown is over without any gain. I'm angry. Bad sleeping last night, likely for the same reason. Ugh. Hoping some sunshine gets me turned around.

I feel this and no doubt look it.

PREACH!

Please wear a mask.

@lujan.senate.gov don't let this happen!

If MJ ever wonders, #NMrollcall kinda falls apart when she's not at the helm. We miss our leader and hope she's enjoying her guests. I'm enjoying a raspberry sucker and a blue tongue. Yay leftover candy. Glad to see cities and states make a big statement with their votes Tues. Enjoy Fall, y'all

Saw my favorite dog today. Known him since he was a pup, now 120 lbs. First thing his human said when I arrived, "I still can't believe he doesn't bark at you." I'm not; he knows I'm part of his pack since day 1. Love that big goof and his older (canine) brother. Now, where's the lint roller?

Vote!

Ooof. Very full. Dinner out with friends. Reading for a bit, then sleep. Full heart and full tummy.

Friends - bulk up your TBR list!

LIST: Food banks, pantries in New Mexico

The states in gray are the states where the governors are more afraid of Trump than they are of killing the people they were elected to represent.

FOOD BANK DIRECTOR: “For every meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. There’s no way we can meet that gap. We were not built to do this.” (@TNDemocrats are imploring @GovBillLee to fund SNAP with the billions in reserves as other states are, but he refuses)

If you proclaim yourself a Christian, you need to donate to food charities NOW. Jesus fed the hungry & told his followers to do so as well. 1 in 8 Americans is about to lose access to daily food. HELP THEM. Food banks can stretch your dollar farther than your can of beans. Give money & time.

SNAP benefits are about to stop; every dollar you give a food bank goes further with their buying benefits than cans you give. Donate locally if you can. If you're short on money, donate your time - someone has to stock those shelves and create bags of food to hand out. FOOD is necessary!

Who uses SNAP? The temporarily unemployed The unemployed Seniors Children People with Disabilities Foster Families Military Families People with extended leave due to illness. Their own or a family members. Adoptive parents And Many have one or more of the above in the Home. FindHelp.org
