happy holidays

I am a bit put out with all these career politicians dragging over a simple thing like "pass the freakin; bill.  One thing that I didn't like about it was that it gave all of them a nice pay raise.  And now they're fighting like children without a thought of what we the people are dealing with.  I learned from watching Frank Underwood what snakes people can become when there is power involved.  I have really never craved that...I don't want to be in charge.  Which, evidently the president elect, does not either.  Whatever :E: says.  Our country is in a very perilous and scary situation and we don't need the richest man in the world telling us to "suck it up, it'll get better!"

Today was quite cold and blustery.  I met my BFFs for lunch then went to talk to a woman about a job.  We shall see.  I rode shotgun with LP on a delivery before she took me home.  Lunch was fun as usual and nobody was in a hurry to be anywhere which is nice.  I don't know how that ever got started but it's had a long run!

This holiday season has been about making do with less and paying attention to the essentials.  There is nothing I could give Reaves more valuable than my time.  She has all of her material needs met and then some.  She is smart, thriving in school and quite sassy.  Watch out for that whine though.  She was sick this week and I could hear the pitifulness all over her voice.  Girl, please.  I feel your pain ;)

I've missed my church family the past two weeks but I sure didn't want to give 'em the epizootie.  Jesus would NOT like that.  I'm ringing the Salvation Army bell tomorrow so don't just keep walking.....dig into those pockets!  I'm dressed in a reindeer sweat shirt with an ugly Christmas sweater on top  Gotta conserve electricity ya' know.

Looks like nobody is getting their packages by Christmas because "shutdown" and "strike."  Things could be worse y'all.  Just be grateful we're still here even if the world hates us.  Oh, and keep the faith.  Always ^j^
