Something

Yesterday, I was just about to post this when all hell broke lose. Remy bit Pixie and with her screaming and bleeding ... lots of blood. Bri and I freaked, thought maybe an artery was hit. So we gathered her up with a big towel and off to the emergency we ran. Many hours later, and a couple of stitches we got home pretty late. Remy has never done anything like this before. You can tell she feels terrible. We had just given the two big dogs some pig ears and think that Remy was protecting it. Lesson learned. No treats without some close monitoring. Pixie is fine, looping from drugs.

Having lots of political discussions with the kids of late. My son tends more redneck in flavor so they can be interesting and full of vulgar language LOL. But I am very excited about the elections, stayed glued to the conventions and feel very optimistic. I laughed, or giggled, every time I read the headline "trump indicted". Makes me so happy. Yes, all of us should be standing out on the street corner holding this sign. Of course, my kids would have me committed. 

 

trump is sounding crazier by the day and needs to be carted off in a wagon with men in white jackets. His Truth Social (what an ironic name) is really filling up with untruths that have a decidedly scared vibe to them. 

My desire is to NEVER have to hear him again, IN MY LIFETIME spout off some bullshit. I keep asking HOW DID WE GET HERE? I got an ominous feeling watching that scene from Back to the Future ... when Marty is asked about how an actor had ended up president? Remember that scene? I mean I laughed, but I got chills and NOT the good kind.

Dr. Phil should be ashamed and embarrassed. I hope NO ONE watches his pathetic show again. Have not watched him in many years. I have a friend who photographs them and the stories I hear about privilege makes me sick. Then his sons made worked hard to make their fame and fortunes (not) because they came from fame and fortune. Same as his wife, "bestselling author" and podcast host, I mean what are her credentials besides sitting in phil's audience in her Jimmy Choo shoes to escort him off stage after every show? I know I sound sour grapes. So sorry about that.

 

Summer is winding down. I feel the chill in the air. We still have the occasional sunny day, where the sun literally feels like it sparkles. Matt is still working on deck so the backyard is really a mess. I really need to sit in the sun today!

I fly to Sun Valley early Sunday morning to drive back with my friend to Seattle on Monday. Even though I really can't drive right now. I am really hoping not to get Covid packed into an airplane. This is the main reason I  don't want to fly anymore. I will wear a mask. I have cataract surgery coming up very soon and I don't want to miss it!

A random observation: we have ONE cabbage butterfly in the back yard every summer. I have never seen two of them. It makes me happy to see, but sad because it feels so lonely! Just one? How can that be?

Bri just brought me home treats from Nordstrom's Rack, a large white peony candle and Body Oil Light Sesame Formula Neutrogena. I am very spoiled.

Craig & Karl are weird, whacky, wonderful, whimsical artists.  And their Instagram.
