And it is...
and Spring is on the horizon!
The rodent says More Winter...but today is in the mid-50's and tomorrow promises to be 60 or over.
My Tux-Cat is always on the wrong side of the door now, and I spend inordinate amounts of time on door-opening duties.
I am regaining my strength from being down sick for so long.
Starting to get the house pulled back together...including taking down Christmas Decorations and the tree, which was nice.
And then there was the Philodendron.
"Phil" and I have a tenacious relationship, anyway.
...It is more like S&M...John helpfully adds...
"Phil" I water....well...when I remember to.
Not often enough.
"Phil" was a rescue, from my friend Ola, several years back. Cute. In a six inch pot.
When I think of houseplants for inside decor I immediately think of silk or plastic.
"Phil" is neither.
And he has grown...from a tiny cute potted plant to taking over half of my coffee table. Where he sits patiently...probably wondering when/if I will ever water him again.
Sometimes he expresses his disappointment with my lackadaisical watering by drooping sadly and dropping yellowing leaves.
Then I was sick...for a long long long time.
When I noticed "Phil" after a month and a half...well
...He's dead, Jim....
Listless, yellow drooping...a bit like me, at that point.
I watered him soundly...but didn't expect much.
Today, he is back to being green, perky...and you would never know.
...and John and I have re-named him Lazarus...
A morbid fascination with the last two weeks with Trump...and the EO's...and cabinet confirmation hearings.
Which is going about how you would expect, at this point.
The first few days spent signing executive orders faster than a Las Vegas hooker turns tricks.
Constitutional/Unconstitutional...he doesn't know or care.
Sign them all...let judges sort them out.
And slapping tariffs on most everyone.
...you know what tariffs are???? Taxes for stupid people...
When all the prices go up...and they will...and inflation rises...and the already diminishing stock market drops even further...well I want to make sure MAGA knows this is what they voted for....okay??
Only 206 weeks left.
Jesus Wept.
Right now, my main concern is this guy...
Doesn't he look like someone who needs to head up our health services???
RFK JR. is an avowed anti-vaxxer...who doesn't trust vaccines...but shot up heroin for 14 years...
...make it make sense...
With bird flu all around us and Marburg killing people in Tanzania...this isn't the time...okay?
For those who need to hear it...Canada is NOT going to be our 51st state...Denmark is NOT going to sell Greenland...and I doubt seriously that we are going to take the Panama Canal...Products are going to get high prices...Inflation is going to increase...the stock market will probably tank...
And the rest of us...we will survive.
We will.
love,
Carla, John and the Cats!
