My late father-in-law, a lifelong Republican, said the U.S. could survive one term of Trump, but would not survive two. I think about this every damn day.

Watched Brideshead Revisited recently and my brain keeps speaking to me in a ridiculous upper class accent. "I say, Mummy, that's simply divine," it said, as I was tasting my distinctly working class pot of stovies. Stupid brain :)

Husband just called from work to tell me about a rumor going around Vermont that someone saw the sun today. Personally, I don't believe it.

Sat down to write two hours ago and haven't gotten a word. But I've cleaned my keyboard, dusted my printer, organized my papers and browsed a history book. Proud of my high level of procrastination :)

Rewatched I, Claudius recently and can't get this quote out of my mind. "Let all the poison that lurks in the mud, hatch out." May your reign be extremely short and hideously painful, Donald Trump.

Decided to prune and pamper my indoor plants today. It took three hours and I'm exhausted. There IS such a thing as too many plants.
