immunity

Well well.  The worm turns once again.  According to what is being told on the news Trump's crew has this Epstein thing all zipped up nice and neat.  In typical fashion, the machine has tried to deflect the issue by attacking Obama, of all people.  Get over it GOP  Maxwell won't need a pardon because she was given immunity by the DOJ regarding her testimony.  Her kawyer ( Trump's ex criminal attorney ) is good friends with her lawyer.  Hmmm.  The perfect plan.  And the sad thing is his fans don't have a clue what he is up to.  Sometimes I wish that even I didn't know.  He always soeaks about transparency and, indeed, he is so predictable that we can see what's coming down the pike. As I read this morning about how prices are way up because of tariffs, I realized that it's not just me who is struggling.  It is everywhere through the poverty and middle class voters.  I am below the poverty level yet cannot get any help.  It's called "making too much" to qualify.  The one piece of advice I would give to anybody considering retirement is to know that prices will rise and your benefits will not.  Plus the Medicare Part B premium rises every year as well.  This is not what I imagined when I left the workforce.  

The power was out both yesterday and today for about an hour so I figure transformers are popping in the extreme heat.  Today should be ONLY 92 which is a welcome break from almost a hundred.  Next week will be brutal with possible relief by the weekend.  Day by day folks.  

I keep looking for the surprise lilies to pop up because it's about that time.  I remember that very well from the August that Daddy died.  Tommy picked a ton of them and set them in a vase by Mama's chair.  By Septemberk she was in assisted living.  That lasted five months, and then SHE was gone.  Our last  Christmas was spent at the nursing home where she was recovering from 2 hip surgeries.  

I am not really sure where my life is headed.  Things are very uncertain financially and physically.  I am glad that Lauren is here to help.  She started a new job today so let's all pray that she doesn't drop a plate on somebody!  

Writing has become much more difficult because of my vision so the blog is not as consistent as it used to be.  I will figure out the voice activated stuff in time but I sure will miss the keyboard.

Life is good anyway.  I just give it all to God and pray for the best ^j^
