This book has been cycling through my brain for years ... Because everything that happens in 1930s Germany is being repeated in the US now.

Keep telling me they're not Nazis. And they'll keep telling you they are.

Got last min tix to see Hamilton last night. I've seen it before but was not prepared for how it emotionally drained me and also made me want to fight someone. After these past 2 wks, the line: "Immigrants, we get it done!" and the audience cheering broke me and I couldn't recover. #artmatters

If you're interested in how the Nazis took over Germany, read "In the Garden of Beasts," by Erik Larson. It starts well before WWII. I read it years ago, and it still gives me the shivers.

It's my daughter's 10th birthday. Was up late last night getting things ready for family dinner today. At 5:45 am, husband's alarm buzzed. I got up to go to the bathroom quickly, and as I crawled back into bed, I heard him mutter, "Did we need to decorate E's door? And did we put up the banner?"

Had my 1st MRI yesterday bc my migraines have been more frequent and difficult to manage. I've had them for 25 years, and the specialist I saw and the MRI techs were shocked it was my first. Why is that?

An outdated smoke detector in our living room—where I've just started on a puzzle—began chirping every 30 seconds. It's been made redundant by smart detectors we installed a few years ago, but it's still here, just to get on my nerves.That feels about like how I thought this year would start.

We just played our first round of Ticket to Ride with the kids. I only thought about flipping the board once. I don't play games because I am a terrible loser. 😂 Also, I came in last.

All I want for Christmas is to pull a loose book from a bookshelf and finally, at long last, find that it opens a hidden door.

We don't need more remakes of old movies. We need more MUPPETS remakes of old movies.

Right on cue Democrats will spend a week eating each other alive over the pardon while Trump keeps setting up the most unfit government in history to rip apart lives on Day 1 unfettered by a coherent opposition.

"It's not a holiday without a minor catastrophe," says my husband, as he fixes our backed up kitchen sink and disposal. I'm glad he's so unbothered that I got too aggressive cleaning leftovers out of the fridge last night.
