I was an illustrator, graphic designer by day.

Just had some homemade Indian food, talking to Bri about what is going on here and catching up with the dogs. AND the sun is shining.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I would love to own this book, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irma_Boom" target="_blank">Irma Boom</a>'s: The wild and wonderful <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30910412939&ref_=ps_ggl_17738760402&cm_mmc=ggl-_-COM_Shopp_Rare-_-product_id=bi%3A%2030910412939-_-keyword=&gclid=CjwKCAjwzN-vBhAkEiwAYiO7oBgrm_Vrru-MIiCm6PyGjPqHErhSIyfw67hkLLJ8hZGR3DFsheE3WRoCWxUQAvD_BwE" target="_blank">SHV Think Book</a>, a masterpiece of book design.

She also designed this book - Book, No. 5 Culture Chanel, 2013. <i>The Amsterdam-based designer Irma Boom has made some innovative books, and a staggering 20 percent have found a home in a permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Arts.1 Such books are truly an experience — objects to be appreciated — even when they are technically vehicles for other artists. Indeed, Boom pushes the boundaries of bookmaking. In 2013, she completed a book commissioned by Chanel for its Chanel No. 5 perfume. </i> This book is not printed, only embossed, in white. Would love to have this book too!

That was a heart-stopping moment. They told me that the company changed from TIAA to Fidelity but had not informed me they were transferring the money. So I called my Fidelity rep that I am pretty close to and he is looking into it for me. Well, that got me going this morning</span></div></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I laughed when I saw putin commenting on his landslide victory. When you eliminate all of your competition ... landslide victories are sure to follow.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Sorry I have just disappeared. I feel like I have emptied my mind all all thoughts the last week. I finally ran across something that interest me when I discovered Irma Boom ... then my laptop crapped out.</span></p>Kim Carneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835737810295355817noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-42646311474168348202024-03-15T16:21:00.000-07:002024-03-15T16:21:47.736-07:00Counting the minutes<p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I bought a new laptop and spent a few days setting it up. In preparation for coming to watch Robin's dogs for a week+. So I have been here many days now and finally gotten around to see if I can acess blogger from here ... and it worked. It is so weird to competely turn your life off. I really just count hours before I can leave. I hate to do that because then I hear the seconds slowly click by in real time. I am on the end now. My friend is having a great time in France so that makes me happy. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Oh God, she has the most uncomfortable chairs. This is a smaller keyboard so I am making lots of mistakes. Not sure how great my new laptop is ... it keeps having issues. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I have watched lots of movies and series. This morning I ran across YouTube video about Art in Spain. And when I get my laptop to work I will share the video. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">It had some great facts that I had forgotten about the Moors, Muslims, in Spain.
<i> </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>Agriculture has been one of the central pillars of development of the world’s great civilisations and the agriculture of Al-Andalus made a key contribution to the advance of wellbeing in the western world.
Prior to the arrival of the Arabs in Spain, agriculture had been based on a trio of crops, namely cereals, olives and vines. When the Arabs settled in Spain, they greatly enriched local farming with the introduction of other cereals (rice, sorghum), other vegetables (aubergines, artichokes, spinach and cardoons), other fruit trees (almonds, fig trees, mulberries, date palms, and citrus fruits) and other textile plants (cotton, hemp). They also used aromatic, medicinal, and ornamental plants.
We should not forget that the increased variety of plant species was accompanied by the development of new methods of cultivation and the expansion of irrigation systems. The Arabs also perfected new methods for catching and storing subterranean and surface water and developed systems for terracing, draining and improving land.
All of these aspects are analysed in this collection of twelve essays in which different authors highlight the importance of the Arabic influence on western agriculture.
More books on this subject can be consulted at the Alhambra Library.</i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">More to come, I am going to work on my laptop connections,<i> </i>

I still have some of my day left. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Yesterday on the way to the grocery store I saw a man feeding walking and feeding crows from his pocket. The crows happily jumped around him as they meandered down the street. It made my day. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">After coming back home, I change back into my sweatpants faster then you can say "Lucy, I'm hoooomeeee". Sadly, I can not stand to be properly dressed anymore. I need to change everyday to get back into the habit of being a real human.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I had Noah most of the weekend, the kids are busy working on their house. Mason went out of town with a friend and family to the mountains. Yesterday, after Mason returned and the kids were starting to argue, I thought God I am mentally exhausted and then realized <i>IT WAS ONLY MONDAY</i>.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Noah has been singing the same Taylor Swift song all weekend.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">It has been a pretty depressing news cycle. But I did enjoy the $399 golden sneaker offer. And the right asking the ridiculous question ... why isn't Biden selling merchandise? </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-x_GSEgTuXqlrAGn8-dqrROqTbd-tVuuoOHmfb5gb34pSwVxi1q3HB0xkQe8HU_YHEF7Rm0IHIDxo_hJ3EArBCMcvEk3QsOMCqC_MLtz9UG_ExfahFTYzIs1bJMmJwre77zXDMsGbx5lC6GC_BwZvH_K1JWk7Hdw4Xr8vygoPYxnY936Jx7-O/s720/428315753_10161340378851798_6371908811571891146_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="537" data-original-width="720" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-x_GSEgTuXqlrAGn8-dqrROqTbd-tVuuoOHmfb5gb34pSwVxi1q3HB0xkQe8HU_YHEF7Rm0IHIDxo_hJ3EArBCMcvEk3QsOMCqC_MLtz9UG_ExfahFTYzIs1bJMmJwre77zXDMsGbx5lC6GC_BwZvH_K1JWk7Hdw4Xr8vygoPYxnY936Jx7-O/w640-h478/428315753_10161340378851798_6371908811571891146_n.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">or you can buy these</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCi8XqZibsR6QIAiyk2BOepYXX6HZQvlIVsnq2iUE2QObAQrx9cvhc6wTLWIqPQQExFyrJ-ZB22B4_4X9yB_NBaShSK9laF1bbNOvQosC6S9mst7YzPyamTuo8Rb61llcBJTcMMd91JOWD1AfpsGxJgYT5vuz1rpzidDJVXp0m0xfCyKe6urj2/s737/429170536_372822368866929_5446155068467358688_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="737" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCi8XqZibsR6QIAiyk2BOepYXX6HZQvlIVsnq2iUE2QObAQrx9cvhc6wTLWIqPQQExFyrJ-ZB22B4_4X9yB_NBaShSK9laF1bbNOvQosC6S9mst7YzPyamTuo8Rb61llcBJTcMMd91JOWD1AfpsGxJgYT5vuz1rpzidDJVXp0m0xfCyKe6urj2/w626-h640/429170536_372822368866929_5446155068467358688_n.jpg" width="626" /></a></div><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Ukraine down to counting bullets while little mike down in florida kissing the ring and getting his "to-do" list from trump.

The backyard looks pretty white-trashy with dog toys, dog shit and quite a mess in the grass which no one sees except me.</span><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">The entire house has the crud. We are all sneezing.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">It was David's birthday the other day. I keep having dreams about him and my mom and some wild creative dreams. I start getting settled in around 730p and usually drop off close to 9p.

I can't explain exactly what I experienced but it was like the one and only acid trip I had. Something I never did again and this is something I will also never do again. As I explained to the kids, having that horrible feeling is not worth it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">One of the big dogs vomited this morning.

</span></div><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><a href="https://kogeijapan.com/locale/en_US/edosashimono/" target="_blank">Edo sashimono</a> is a type of wood joinery made in Tokyo with hand-cut dovetail joints and without nails. The word sashimono comes from the process of measuring with a monosashi or woodwork ruler. </span></p><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">This craft is based on the Kyo wood joinery produced as part of the Heian period (794-1185) court culture. In the Muromachi period (1336-1573), carpentry skills evolved, giving rise to professional cabinet-makers who made furniture pieces like chests of drawers, display cabinets, and boxes for storing tea ceremony items. These articles were used by the Imperial Court and nobles. Kyo wood joinery developed as the tea ceremony culture, chanoyu, did. Another type of wood joinery is Osaka karaki sashimono, derived from Chinese joinery techniques studied by Japanese missions visiting the Tang dynasty (618-907).
Edo wood joinery began in the Edo period (1603-1868), when the Tokugawa shogunate (feudal military government) relocated artisans from across the whole country to establish artisan towns specializing in a particular craft such as blacksmithing, dyeing, and carpentry in some areas of Edo. In the middle of the Edo period, as handcraft manufacturing developed and demand increased, the carpentry work was subdivided. As a result, cabinet making was established as a separate profession along with temple and shrine carpenters and artisans of doors and shoji screens. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Chisels and knives are used to carve interlocking finger and dovetail joints into the timber and boards, which are then joined together without the use of nails. Additionally, small handmade wood planes are used to produce a variety of finishes and patterns along the edges of the boards. While the variety of techniques cannot be seen from the outside, their use results in a finished product that can be used for decades.
The chisels are soooo sharp! It is so satisfying watching to process.
If you want to know more, this is a good resource about the traditional practice. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><a href="https://japanobjects.com/features/japanese-joinery" target="_blank">7 Things You Need to Know About Japanese Joinery</a></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">

This guy has some serious tools and patience! It would scare me to make this! </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">His Full Disclosure:
I am into this bowl for about 50+ hours of labor and $400 in wood alone.
I am asking $3,750 with shipping from Alaska.
It works out to me making about $55hr for 1 bowl.
Will it sell for this much? I'm not sure.
Can I keep the lights on in my shop making $55 an hour before taxes and
cost of tools?
Absolutely not. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a_IbM-LsIjI?si=M18lv5k6r8A_Sw2R" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Kim Carneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835737810295355817noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-41069510999793038852024-02-02T13:18:00.000-08:002024-02-02T13:18:02.284-08:00The intensity of life<p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Sometimes I feel paralyzed by sadness and loss (and losing). Like today. We are going through and deciding what to get rid of and what to keep. I am taking photos of books to send to a friend of mine who has a book collector as a friend. What he does not want, Bri will take to 1/2 price books. It seems like to much but as Bri pointed out (what I do) is shove it in a corner and let it sit there collecting dust bunnies. <br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">The pain of giving it all away makes me never, ever want to purchase anything again. I honestly wonder sometimes, when David was buying something (it was always very cool), if he thought about where we would store it. He bought a beautiful hand-crafted, wooden 6 candle holder and 12 birch branches cut into segments for candles. All very nice but we have used them maybe twice ... and then they got shoved in some corner to be forgotten.

I still have to tackle David's suits, dress shirts and shoe collection. I am trying to keep my focus on the future, what will we really use and what we won't without getting emotional. I keep putting the clothes decisions off but it feels like it is time. Trying to be easy on myself ... but we are at critical mass here and time to let go of stuff.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">On a lighter note, I watched to worst movie I HAVE EVER WATCHED, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSfSGKmmFrM" target="_blank">Titanic II</a>.

It in interesting and vast in the scope.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I found the silliest gravestones site ... <a href="https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-tombstones-epitaphs/">30 Funny Tombstones By People With An Undying Humor</a>

font-family: times new roman;"><a href="https://artfacts.net/exhibition/soelvi-helgason:-floral-fantasy/887971" target="_blank">Sölvi Helgason</a> (1820-1895), or Sólon Íslandus as he also called himself, is indisputably Iceland’s most fascinating folk artist; a charismatic outsider both in his life and in his art. He was a rover, a scholar and an artist, but also a capricious eccentric who disobeyed the law of men and was hence punished with imprisonment. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Paper and pigment were rare commodities and hard to obtain in Sölvi’s times. His resourcefulness in acquiring necessary materials and paint his images under inadequate conditions, as well as receiving little understanding from his contemporaries, is indeed admirable.
Rich and colorful flower compositions characterize Sölvi’s works, and he repeatedly used the same floral patterns, either as the main subject of the image, or as background for portraits.

My friend, Robin says she is afraid to think about it. I said, once you see someone die, it becomes all too real. I don't feel afraid to die, but it is uncomfortable thinking of it, how I will die and what it will feel like to know I won't be here anymore.<br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I am enjoying Night Country. Watched the last of Fargo and decided to go back and re-watch earlier seasons. I am think I am tired of stupid disaster movies on YouTube.<br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I talk to my friend Elana a lot, mostly about trump, and the war going on in Israel/Gaza and art.

She insist I read it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"> <i>In the winter of 1417, a short, genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties plucked a very old manuscript off a dusty shelf in a remote monastery, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. He was Poggio Bracciolini, the greatest book hunter of the Renaissance. His discovery, Lucretius’ ancient poem On the Nature of Things, had been almost entirely lost to history for more than a thousand years. </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>It was a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functions without the aid of gods, that religious fear is damaging to human life, that pleasure and virtue are not opposites but intertwined, and that matter is made up of very small material particles in eternal motion, randomly colliding and swerving in new directions. Its return to circulation changed the course of history. The poem’s vision would shape the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein, and—in the hands of Thomas Jefferson—leave its trace on the Declaration of Independence. </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>From the gardens of the ancient philosophers to the dark chambers of monastic scriptoria during the Middle Ages to the cynical, competitive court of a corrupt and dangerous pope, Greenblatt brings Poggio’s search and discovery to life in a way that deepens our understanding of the world we live in now.
</i> </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">“An intellectually invigorating, nonfiction version of a Dan Brown–like mystery-in-the-archives thriller.”
<a href="https://www.stephaniemaclean.com/landscapes" target="_blank">Stephanie Maclean</a>'s landscapes celebrate bright, contrasting elements of blue skies, sun-beaten golden hillsides dotted with lone oaks, and deep, cool canyons. These new-world elements stand in striking contrast to the Scottish scenery of my youth, inspiring a modern, abstract style with simplified graphic elements and emphasis on a bright color palette.

I told everyone to leave them last night.
I am wishing the rain away!!! </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">So much rain, so little yard for it to fit into. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Today is my "funday" ... going to get kids in a minutes. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">So, I use old toothbrushes to clean with. The other day I noticed one was upside down in the cup and that should have warned me. I was brushing, the toothbrush had a Windex smell. I asked Noah and she said she cleaned the bathroom mirror with it. Then yesterday, I saw her with another toothbrush cleaning one of her toys! Nothing is sacred. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I forgot to mention all the stupid disaster movies I have been watching. A bunch about lightening ... funny enough, many of the films are filmed in Seattle. Last night I delve into bad tornado movies, then watched a couple of volcano and killer wave situation. The killer wave had a scene where the captain of the ship is heroically holding on when someone falls overboard, pan to the drownging man ... just hanging out in calm sea water. Some of these can be pretty entertaining.

I took Noah to Fred Meyer to look for a lunchbox (they don't have them now) and picked up a handful of grocery items. Checking out I was talking a lady in front of me with yellow roses and commented on how much I loved them, and so did she. Turns out we were both from Texas (Yellow Rose of Texas). And we had a short, pleasant visit. She moved my groceries ahead of hers and said, check her out before me. I said, oh no, that is not necessary and she insisted. Then ... she paid for my groceries and said someone had paid for hers the week before. Of course, I protested but she said, "pay it forward next time". </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I have never been so stunned. I wondered how bad I looked! Maybe I looked indigent? Matt said I looked fine. So this stranger was just doing me a kindness and it was wonderful. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">After Bri put the ornaments away, I am trying to get the tree un-fluffed, repacked and put away. I am waiting for Matt to finish his marinade to help me take the very top portion down. I am not getting on a ladder today.
I feel like I am being punished a little when I have to take the tree down. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Tree up, tree down. Bri is helping a lot with this process.
But it made me remember when I was a little kid and the first time my mom woke me up in the car to make me walk inside instead of being carried. That is funny, I remember that awful, brutal awakening many times. Same with decorating Christmas trees. They don't magically appear and vanish as they did when we were small. God, it is hard to grow up, isn't it? </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">David (nor now Matt) will never voluntarily start decorating a tree. If was left up to David, and in the beginning I did that ... it would be Christmas eve before he decided it was time. Even if we. had to purchase one! I do remember hauling a big tree in the house at the last minute and vowing to buy tall, slender fake trees which I could handled myself. Which is what I did.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I would love the vacuum up all of those pesky fake tree needles tonight if at all possible.Kim Carneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02835737810295355817noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115587.post-65100028628814133062024-01-21T05:00:00.000-08:002024-01-21T16:41:11.906-08:00Discarded but not forgotten<p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">London artist, <a href="https://www.joshgluckstein.com/" target="_blank">Josh Gluckstein</a>, using recycled materials.

Lives full of losses, that is how a normal life will play out. <br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I saw an older woman asking her husband what he wanted for dinner while leaving the grocery store. I felt a little pang of sadness. Then drove past a man walking his cute Cocker and thought about our most beloved Scooter. I thought I would die the day we lost him. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">The sudden sadness hit me hard and my eyes started to sting from oncoming tears. The rest of my drive gave me time to think</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"> and cry harder if I was going to ... <br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Life is full of loss. Great-grandparents, favorite aunts and uncles, grandparents, parents, pets, husbands and wives, friends. If you are very unlucky, you lose kids. We move away from our friends and sometimes never see them again, a loss. I know mom would talk about how much she missed her mom and her friends. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">It feels the older we get, the more we expect and accept loss. Thankfully, I feel that my life has been full and filled with love and I am thankful.<br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I found this by Timna Sheffy ... <a href="https://medium.com/@timnasheffey/is-life-nothing-more-than-a-series-of-losses-719c1d1fd4b1" target="_blank">Is Life Nothing More Than A Series Of Losses</a>?
<i> </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>"We are told that if we work hard, take care of others, and show kindness and generosity, we will be secure and happy. Do everything right and nothing will go wrong. Oh if only… What is the explanation for tragic and sudden death? What is the explanation for childhood cancer? What is the explanation for natural disasters (I know, climate change) and freak accidents? Why are good people alone and struggling? Why are some children born into abject poverty and abuse while others have every privilege afforded to them? </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>To pretend that I have suffered more than others would be living a lie. That does not lessen my injury or provide comfort. My youngest daughter suddenly died before she turned 20. I have been in the depths of despair. I no longer wished to be in this life. How cruel to outlive your child — the torture of breathing when your child is no longer able to. I didn’t even want to be in my own body because it had betrayed me by staying alive. I felt like I had died too, just nobody noticed. This loss is out of order, it is against the rules, it is unfair, it is grievous. I have lost more than many but less than some."</i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><a href="https://elunanetwork.org/resources/life-and-loss-are-indivisible-learning-to-grieve-for-losses-great-and-small" target="_blank">Life and loss are indivisible: Learning to grieve for losses great and small is a critical skill</a>.

Is it too early? The crows, Stellar Jays and all other birds are back after hibernating, I guess ... I did not see them for days, only the hummingbirds and smaller birds. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I don't know about the rest of you but my days are running in together, maybe it i the winter ho-hums. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">The dogs wake me up early (330a) to go potty (Murphy's big wet nose running all over my face), going back to sleep (sort of), then either the kids wake me up or the dogs want to go out again. Then Pixie wakes up around 9a and wants out, then immediately needs food. I make my coffee around then ... and spend an hour trying to drink it and reheating it. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I get my blood going by watching politics and checking if trump has passed away the night before. Next, do the dishes from the night before and then figure out what the rest of the day holds for me. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Most of it is letting dogs in and out and trying to keep the cats in. Fetching meals and drinks for the kids.
Yesterday, as promised, I took the girls to Target to buy them their "bribery goodies" for keeping the sinks toothpaste-glob-free for two weeks and completely cleaning their room. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I will spare you the details and the final total, only to say it was expensive and fun. LOL. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I have started using David's expensive Boise noise-canceling headphones. I don't think he ever used them. Bri finished taking the Christmas decorations down yesterday. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">I still point out stuff that Bri can just get rid of. Little antiques to sell, or glass jars of 20 Mule team borax that she can throw out. Matt and Bri went off the buy a <a href="https://www.build.com/product/summary/1665224?uid=3936391&jmtest=gg-gbav2_3936391&inv2=1&&source=gg-gba-pla_3936391!c1705989067!a65446962206!dc!ng&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-62tBhDSARIsAO7twbbD-rD5ckD1ZWSVO2QbBVmr6DheYRvRXhGDZrIZFKav3pzqXB_pN-UaAqd9EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">new Grohe faucet</a>, soap dispenser and garbage disposal. Spent the rest of the night installing them. Both plumbers I had contacted started at $125.00 an hr, $200 fee to just come over plus all other charges. Matt said he would just do it and I would pay him. The last Grohe faucet was a great one, but Mason has used it to pull herself on the countertop a few too many times and it was coming undone. I guess we could have tightened it but it has been repaired once and I thought we needed a new one. Plus the garbage disposal was coughing up some pretty disgusting food remnants. Anyway, all done. </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><b>So now is chance to turn away</b> ... the rest of this is political crap that is driving me insane the last couple of days. The trump video is a response to another video about how <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zttm3HcPQd0" target="_blank">trump was sent by God</a>, if you haven't watched this delusional piece of propaganda ... it is a must.<br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1hLBTkTe4vc?si=7kDUpOrFqKTSO7ou" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xOi2cYz5nXE?si=a622-gdUIp-Zjoyh" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">Trump appears to confuse Haley and Pelosi while making false Jan. 6 claims in New Hampshire </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JGTJy1Ij4Qk?si=qpfRyfIqybyXvuJq" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">And then this this morning
<i> </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>MANCHESTER, N.H. — Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., balked at the idea that Trump has “lost a step” in an interview with NBC News, insisting that despite the former president mistakenly referring to Haley instead of Nancy Pelosi at a rally last night, it “wasn’t a mix-up” at all. </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>“The reality is Nikki Haley is relying on Democrats, just like Nancy Pelosi, to try to have a desperate showing,” Stefanik said.
Pressed by NBC News that Trump was talking about Jan. 6 when he misspoke, Stefanik doubled down: </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>“President Trump has not lost a step. He is a stronger candidate” now than in 2016.
Stefanik also dodged multiple times when asked whether she'd vote to certify the 2024 election results should Biden win again.
Asked whether she wanted to join the ranks of Trump’s potential running mates, Stefanik said she’s “focused” on her job in Congress and that “it’s a long time between now and November.” </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i>Stefanik appeared this morning at Trump's campaign headquarters in New Hampshire, where she was met with "VP" chants. </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><b>My new anthem </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;"><i><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/21WvZgh2igw?si=NqiH8j2Ayi93QgyX" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </i></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: times new roman;">

When CoVid-19 hit, her co-workers and she couldn't tell each other apart in all our PPE. There was the personal flair of goggles and homemade caps and masks, but then we had to look --really look--at each other's eyes. These are faces that are alongside me every day, but suddenly she was seeing them anew and seeing --really seeing--how they put themselves on the line for others. Not just during CoVid-19 but every time they show up to work.
