www.reddit.com/r/Appleton/s... Yeah, Wisconsin has four seasons - almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction!

The weather here in da frozen tundra is getting really nice, finally some sign of spring! Supposed to hit close to 80 tomorrow. I need to start wearing sunscreen again when I’m on my crossing guard shifts, as it’s warm enough to go without a jacket, at least in the afternoon.

I understand there will be protests tomorrow, May 1st. That’s also my birthday!

This!

Being a crossing guard at a middle school who crosses 150-200 kids per shift really keeps me on my toes! I warm up by bending my knees and breathing from my diaphragm. One little girl asked me my age. When I told her I am 60, she said “oh that’s okay”. Tough having one foot in the grave, LOL!

I’m so honored and humbled by all those that have followed me. I follow every one of you back. Lots of military vets, many from Wisconsin, and people from all over the world who empathize with those of us in the US trying to navigate this mess of an administration. #LoveYouAll

I have to say as a Wisconsinite, I'm so proud of my fellow Wisconsinites in showing muskrat that Wisconsin is NOT for sale! Susan Crawford's decisive win is our gain and (f)elons loss. I hope he never comes back to our state. He's a fucking disgrace.

Meme I found on Facebook.

My first day at my new corner, all middle school kids. Crossed 88 kids this morning and 129 kids this afternoon. This is definitely keeping me on my toes! #CrossingGuard

I didn’t want to post this on my Facebook or Reddit accounts. I’m thinking of putting a go bag together. Something in case I need to get the hell out of dodge quickly. Anyone out there have any ideas? I don’t know where to start. Things are getting pretty bad when I’m thinking this way.

Got a call from my boss the other day. Was anxious when I saw the caller ID. Good news though. I agreed to cross at a busier intersection from next week through the end of the year. 400 kids a day on average. He feels I can handle it. Excited but a little anxious. #CrossingGuard

Love this!

#booksky Latest book I read. Read it same day in a little less than 6 hours. I just can’t put her books down!

It seems like nobody wants Aaron (Miss Drama Queen) Rodgers. I don’t blame them a bit. He needs to just go the fuck away.

My Mom got polio in 1946 when she was two years old. Hearing about her very difficult childhood really makes me grateful that I grew up in a time when there was a vaccine for that, and other things.

I have chorus rehearsal tonight. By the time we’re done, the SOTU will be done too. I wouldn’t have watched it anyway. #FuckOffDonaldTrump #FuckOffJdVance #FuckOffElonMusk #FuckOffRepublicans #FuckOffMagats

Hahaha! Fuck you Elon Musk!

Every day I go to NPR online to check the news. Just when I think things can't get any more absurd, something new makes me shake my head. I can't even wrap my head on what's going on in this country. I fear it's beyond the point of no return.

I understand that Musk sent out another email to federal workers demanding that they send a bullet list of five things they did during the week, and keep doing this every week indefinitely. This after claiming the first email he sent was a joke. He is the joke. #FuckElonMusk

Love this! This is the kind of thing we all should be doing. Off with the damn gloves. This is WAR!

Yes!

I didn’t go shopping, in any brick and mortar stores or online. I hope we all made a difference today. But I have my doubts. It’s gonna take weeks, if not months to make a dent here. Sorry I said this, but I’m a realist.

Last Tuesday, it was minus 11F, windchill minus 30F. Today, six days later, was 54F with a windchill of 50F. Quite a temperature swing in 6 days. Gotta love Wisconsin in February. #WisconsinWinters #WisconsinWeatherExtremes

Resting and relaxing today after my chorus show on Saturday. We were sold out, full house. We crushed it! And there was so much delicious pie.

These are hysterical. Bullet points for Musk.

This doesn’t surprise me. What surprises me is how long it took to discover that Trump has been a Soviet asset for 40 years. He should be impeached and prosecuted.

This!

Right in my profile, I put "no lottery winners". Literally a minute ago, who do I get following me? A "lottery winner". These idiots just never learn.

This morning, it was - 11F, - 30F with the windchill. Wore the long underwear for the first time this season. Between that and my electric gloves, I actually worked up a sweat! Currently a balmy 7 above zero without the windchill. #BringOnTheWisconsinWeather #WinterInWisconsin

After getting about a foot of snow in 24 hours, the streets and sidewalks are cleared. I went to the store to get ingredients for the key lime pie I'm going to be making for my chorus' Sweetie Pie Social show on February 22. The most expensive ingredient was the eggs, but cheaper at WalMart.

We got about a foot of snow the last 24 hours. Plows came through. Definitely looking like a winter wonderland out there.
