Well that weekend was something else wasn't it? I left on Saturday morning to go to work, spent the day at the liquor store selling all sorts of merchandise to all sorts of people. Turns out, I should have purchased some for myself!
How many celebrities from my childhood died this weekend? Several. Including Dr. Ruth - who I had a funny memory about listening to her show when I was in high school.....a friend and I used to listen to her, giving relationship/intimacy advice to couples and we would howl with laughter. Later, I attended college intending to have a career similar to Dr. Ruth (however less famous), a sort of idea that was incredibly short lived! I came home to an assassination attempt? What in the name of cheese is going on in this country? Seriously? How can we be this far gone? I am disappointed in so many things that are happening. I am saddened by the constant and consistent revocation of our rights, and the threats made to democracy. I am just tired. And sad. And disgusted.
I am also sort of curious to see how this plays out, because to me it seems like a publicity stunt. A dangerous, stupid one, but you know - when backed into a corner, create a diversion right?
Incidentally, I spent all of Sunday avoiding the news, avoiding social media, and avoiding the general public as much as I could. I pretty well bolted out of mass to get to my car and drive back to the quiet of my home. I just can't right now. Unfortunately, I had to come out of "hiding" to return to work, where it was front and center. I will say I know how to shut down a room though. And I did. And I am not sorry. What the country needs is a giant etch-a-sketch where we can shake it and start again.
Enough of that. I have other things more important to discuss. Such as this cat. I have seen some "chill" animals before, but this one takes the cake! He lets us do anything we want to him. He is lucky we are nice! Sweet Tooth Fairy - I can't help but love him. He is not the brightest, but he very dang well might be the sweetest!
We had Mallory's dogs when she was gone. They got a lot more outside time than they normally do I think. They were not really amused with me, and when she showed up, they literally glued themselves to her and refused to move from her side. I felt like they were saying "save us from this woman who makes us play outside in the heat!" Truly, they are not much of a problem to watch, but Daisy does not sleep all night, and I am tired and old, so I was happy to have Mallory take them back!
We had Sunday lunch instead of Sunday dinner, since Evelyn had her summer reading program party last night. I never made it to the store, since I was in hiding, and so I had to order pizza! Everyone seemed happy with this arrangement.
Evie was happy to be back from Arizona, and happy to be with Wrenley! I could tell Wrenley missed her too! I did laugh - when I asked what her favorite thing in Arizona was, she quickly responded "visiting all the gift shops with GG!" I can imagine that GG is going to need a second job now!
I am hoping that the rest of this week is not as strange as the weekend was. Prayers for peace for this country, and for the people here to all just take a step back and use some common sense will be said by me. I will continue this until I die.
