Another Cinderella Saturday here...
And no Fairy Godmother in sight!
(...maybe pizza and a hot bubble bath later, though...)
The laundry is churning, dishes are soaking, bed is stripped and trash-bag poised to begin The Great Cabinet Clean-Out before the crews start ripping the old ones out and replacing them (later) this month.
All of them.
Even the bathroom.
Essentially, by the time they are done I will have the equivalent of a new apartment...
Or maybe a nervous breakdown.
It's too early to tell.
It feels like Fall Proper, now...and Sofi is worshipping the little electric fireplace.
The trees out back are getting a lot of color.
Planning my Mums, fall bulbs for Spring, and some fat orange pumpkins soon...and have already sat on the patio in the crisp air and enjoyed both hot cocoa and had the first caramel apple of the season!
Only 31 days until the ELECTION!!!
Less for me. I vote early.
Watched the first Presidential Debate...what an absolute shit-show. The moderator needs shock collars or a mute button...or maybe both.
Who we need as the next Moderator.
Kind of anxious to see the VP Debate on Wednesday.
Unless you have been under a rock, you know by now that Trump and a large part of the GOP...no masks or social distancers...have contracted The Rona.
None of the Democrats.
Weird, eh?
It is almost like Masks and Social Distancing works...who knew???
(...Dr. Fauci will be available for comment as soon as he can face the cameras without bursting out in laughter, and send thoughts and prayers without the grin...)
He's working on it, okay????
And Twitter had to WARN people yesterday that anyone who tweeted anything near wishing the President dead would be summarily banned...lol!
Do you know how awful someone has to be that you have to issue a WARNING not to wish them dead????
(...for the record...I certainly do not wish him dead...not in office anymore...sure...a prolonged miserable bout with Covid...certainly...but no...not dead...that is far too quick and easy...)
The Covid-Positive list looks like this and is growing:
Hope Hicks
Trump and Melania
Trump's Campaign Manager Bill Stepien
Sen. Tillis
Sen. Lee
Sen. Johnson
Chris Christie
Kellyanne Conway
Notre Dames President John Jenkins
RNC Ronna McDaniel
Several Aides and Three WH journalists.
(...and it may be larger by now...)
Yeah, I'm good waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over here...wearing my mask.
In one day Trump went from asymptomatic...to mild symptoms...to moderate symptoms...to receiving experimental antibodies infused and supplemental oxygen...to Marine 1 and being airlifted to Walter Reed Hospital for a few days.
Who else thinks that if he actually did expire before November 3rd they would go full on
Weekend at Bernie's
with him?
I would expect nothing less out of this crew.
Seriously.
An early week visit by Chris...who is enjoying classes (online) and fly-tying and fishing in his down time.
Some of his recent creations
James and the family now healthy and back at it...and Lennon and I, chatting and lamenting politics...the debate...and governors-who-are-idiots, for a long long long time this week.
Nicole and I, already discussing our modified Halloween Plans.
John and I, looking forward to tomorrow's Patriots/Chiefs Game...and our October Getaway soon!
Fall brunch planned with Don and Chris. (...Japanese...)
A Late Sisters Day with Costumes, Crafts and Fall Foods.
A Fall Tea soon with Brenda. (...think Cajun...)
Heard from Diane yesterday and her Mom is improving so she may be home before Halloween.
Angie is back on her feet after her second surgery, and has returned to her Shoppe (and to decorate it for Fall!)
And Chris' birthday soon!!!
Yes....October is filling up, fast.
Always something to look forward to!
Turning John onto the Jo Nesbo detective series...and him turning me onto Ian Fleming's writings.
Life is good!
Now back to dusting, scrubbing, tossing...
Love,
Carla
Addendum:
So much for the Patriots/Chiefs game tomorrow.
Cam Newton and several others have tested positive for Covid....sigh.
"Trump's feeling worse...that is a shame..."
