Just had an email from a coffee company: “ways to use leftover coffee.” WTAF?! It’s like leftover wine. Or leftover mashed potatoes. If you have any of those, you’re doing it wrong.

I hate that weird middle ground of not knowing what to work on next but also not wanting to start anything because what if I don’t finish it before I have to go do the next thing and then I do nothing but scroll socials and get grumpier. On the flip side I have crocheted and embroidered today. So.

It's surreal to go about daily life, working, meeting friends, going to the gym, the theater, and attending concerts, all while everything around us is being systematically demolished.

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand-new hours are before me. I vow to live fully each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion. Thich Nhat Hanh ~PEACE IS EVERY BREATH~ #mondaymeditationminute

Always a grumpy book dragon. Today I can already tell I’m a grumpy freaking toddler. This is so not going to go well.

Current mood??? Yawn so hard I’m afraid my face will break. Ok fine. Back to sleep. WIDE FREAKING AWAKE. And repeat. Since 3:50 a.m. Thank fuck it’s Saturday.

The quickest way to a man’s heart is to insert a needle between the xiphoid process and left costal margin at a 15-to-30-degree angle, directed towards the left shoulder

Current mood? Kentucky Coffee Whiskey old fashioned, double.

Spineless sycophants who are afraid of the playground bully. Never thought I’d be impressed with McConnell for saying no to OrangeShitler. And now we are fucking stuck with a lunatic vaccine denier running the Health dept. The ReTrumplican Senators are a bunch of shit-for-brains sycophants.

Remember, calories don’t count during Super Bowl weekend or during a steady and inevitable descent into madness so

Driving today is absolute shit. Don’t go out if you don’t have to. Some roads are fine and some are definitely not and there’s not much rhyme or reason to it. Side streets are not ok. Walking wasn’t ok. Driving today is absolute shit. Just don’t. And if you do? Slow. The. Ever. Loving. Fuck. Down.

Forgetfulness is the darkness, mindfulness is the light. I bring awareness to shine upon all life. Thich Nhat Hanh PEACE IS EVERY BREATH #mondaymeditationminute

Reading books written by people who don’t look like us builds empathy; empathy builds compassion; compassion makes us better humans and hopefully better allies. These are two of the books I plan to read during Black History Month. It is critical to hear and learn from voices that aren’t our own.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Really, really hoping that RFK, Jr., doesn't make it through the confirmation hearings to a full Senate vote. He probably will, unless he wises up & withdraws. This morning I used the contact form on the web sites for Senators Grassley & Ernst to send the following:

I don't recall January having this many Mondays before
