Next Monday, Feb 17 is President's Day. This is the day we're supposed to protest, right? Where and when is the meetup?

This photo brings me great joy. It was just the thing I needed today to snap me out of the existential doom loop my brain was falling into as I worried about the state of American democracy. Congratulations to the photographer.

My favorite place to take a nap is soaking in a tub filled to the rim with bubble bath. My least favorite place to wake up from a nap is in a tub filled to the rim with bubble bath.

This has been an awful 4.5 days: Trump shit show; friend tells me she is getting a divorce; my 90yr old mother has a fall (she’s doing ok), a friend’s cancer surgery not successful. Thank goodness for Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite 2. This part especially is ❤️ youtu.be/zEVB26kz6fY

Found joy in paper marbling on Monday. Focusing on a creative pursuit helped sustain me and replenish my soul while I endured the flood of MAGA hats in my neighborhood and the flurry of vindictive, idiotic, and often cruel executive orders were released by the orange Cheeto. RESIST!

Proud of myself for keeping my 28 day steps goal streak alive. Time to up the distance I’ve set as a goal. I’m enjoying being out and about in all weathers and squeezing in steps where and when I can. I wish you success on the new habits and personal goals you’ve set for yourself.

I love how beautiful Capitol Hill is even in Winter. Hope everyone is staying warm out there today!

This is a stunningly sobering piece about the state of college student illiteracy and the challenges faced by their instructors.

This. Read it and find solidarity, advice, and strategies to maintain your strength to resist, fight, and persist.

Anyone else worried about the tariffs Trump is threatening against Denmark (so he can get them to handover Greenland🤪) and the increased cost and disruption that will cause for people using Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and related drugs to manage their diabetes, weight, and associated conditions? 😡

Woke up to 5+ inches of snow on Capitol Hill (DC) and it’s still coming down fast and furiously. House now smells of ham stock in progress in the stove and a loaf of bread baking in the oven. Time to login and start the work week.

I’m late to the ‘Band of Brothers’ (2002) experience. Wow. That series packs a punch. What are your recommendations for WWII books, podcasts, tv shows, documentaries, and/or films I should tap into to learn more about that era and the soldiers’ experiences?

Confession: I can’t visit the National Gallery of Art (WashingtonDC) without stopping to see William Vans Murray. I love the energy of the brush strokes in this painting. Affectionately referred to in our house as “my boyfriend”, he lives on the wall outside the early American furniture collection.

Spent my last day of holiday PTO exploring my paper marbling supplies. So many paint colors and pattern combination possibilities, so little time!

Thank you Norway for your gift of this magnificent Christmas tree symbolizing our long friendship transformed 80+ years ago in the forge of World War II, into the unbreakable bonds of Allies. Union Station always looks its best when graced with this tree of friendship. God Yule!🇳🇴

I am inspired by this fellow DC Metro rider who is using her commute to carve out time for crafting. Find time for your hobbies! These little moments of “me time”I joy add up 😀 #dcmetro #craft #needlework
