It seems Summer has been cancelled here.
The Rona.
The local pool isn't opening...programs are closed...there will be no 4th of July Parade...or Fireworks...or County Fair...or State Fair, for that matter.
Thank goodness for books...plants...painting...basking and North Patio Beach!
Back on the 4:3 and lost 1 whole pound this week.
Go Me!!!
Only 9 pounds left to go!
I CAN do this.
Don't mind the whining...I always whine when I first start back...600 calories seems like no food when you have been pigging out for weeks!
~laughing~
Nicole is 35 today!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, hon!
We have a Girls Day with cake and wine and chat planned for Friday!
Can't Wait!
Spent a lot of this week basking and playing in the plants.
Sofi supervised, of course.
The rain, heat and sunshine has just made the plants go crazy.
From this...
and more...
"Hey, these aren't REAL, Mom!" _Sofi
Two additional Hostas arriving this week.
Remulching my borders and a few more flowers...and basically finished until Fall.
A pretty shaded spot to read and sip tea.
Watching the Covid numbers rise again...
In the US from
18,000 new cases
then 20,000 additional new cases
then 22,000 more new cases
then yesterday we added 25,000 new cases...for a total of 85,000 new cases in 4 days.
Total in the US right now
1,967,273 cases
111,408 deaths
Total Worldwide
6,885,120 cases
699,003 deaths
Forget the second wave...we haven't even finished the first one yet.
And then there were the protests and riots this week.
And Trump's new nickname
Bunker Boy
(...after hiding in the WH bunker during the riots with the lights off...)
and the 9 foot high fence (playpen?) they have erected around The White House...
(...first time in my life...)
And seriously...if you have to build a wall to keep the people you are suppose to be defending/supporting/leading OUT...you've already lost...
Okay?
The rest of the officers in the George Floyd murder now arrested and charged.
The protests mostly peaceful now.
And the gay sex workers of DC have organized and are in the midst of outing
Lady G...
You might know him as Lindsey Graham.
Personally, I feel sorry for the old queen.
We've all known for a long time, and it must be pretty damned stuffy in that closet after 64 years...but my sympathy is tempered by the bile and vicious attacks he has wrought on the GLBT community and the utter hypocrisy of it all.
Strom Thurmond and his black daughter comes to mind.
Yeah...it has been a week.
And they are finally removing Bobby Lee
And Ben and Jerry's has came out with another new flavor: Social Justice
Back to my Cinderella Morning...then relaxing (and basking) for the rest of the weekend!
Hang in there....
You know it has been rough when even the kitty facepalms.
