I had to take a break from Facebook, Instagram, and the news. All of the horrible things happening. Watching my 401K disappear (down $88,000 last time I checked, from January 20th).
So filled with rage toward that vile piece of shit who got elected President. The worst. The world will be better place when he is six feet under.
I attended another protest on the 19th. Fewer people but still thousands turned out. The next day was Egg Day. I made mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese, Rice a roni. Also made yellow cupcakes with strawberry puree filling and strawberry cream cheese frosting. They were delicious.
Have spent more money at Joann's. Holiday ornaments, fake flowers, fabric, crafting materials, and cotton batting for a quilt. Matt plans on making three quilts. I sent Addison and Elizabeth over to purchase Holiday ornaments- little cute animals. They bought about 100 for their stores. I have enough to decorate an animal-themed Holiday tree (only seven months to go before decoration starts). I explained to Matt that thinking about decorating meant I was not thinking/raging about other things.
Ruby still hates Rowan AKA Doug Jr. Growls at him if he gets too close, snaps at him if he gets closer. Poor little puppy just wants someone to play with. Sometimes Puff Jr. obliges and swats at him from a chair.
What a strange time we live in.

I attended the protest on April 5th at Reid Park. My sign, "I.C.E. = NAZIS." There were thousands of people there. Most of the cars passing honked their horns in support. I was there for 1.5 hours and saw only seven cars with pro-Orange Rapist people. One woman in a truck screamed "Paid protesters!" at us. We laughed and I wondered aloud, "Where's my check?"
Well since January 20th my 401K has dropped almost $88,000. That Fucking Piece of Shit is busy destroying the economy and his idiot advisors are cheering him on. Lots of insider trading going on, so there are getting richer. I go to the White House Facebook page daily and leave comments calling his a Fucking Piece of Shit and if Melanie shows up, the First Whore. Also on the I.C.E. page lots of NAZIS and Gestapo comments.
Apparently 20,000 people attended.
I have been monitoring trenches behind Teatro Carmen, which is being restored and new sewer and water lines, along with stage foundations. I have found four outhouse pits. Not a huge amount of artifacts, but I have had a couple of fun days collecting artifacts.
Two buckets of bottles.
They took down the pressed tin ceilings from 1915. They will sand blast the old paint off and paint them copper, which is what they used to be, before reinstalling them.
Ceiling panel.
Last weekend Matt and I applied a coating of the white rubberized coating on the roof of my house and the guest house. I confess, climbing down the ladder is no fun. We have another layer to paint on yet.
Matt on the roof.
Puff J'Markus Jr. and Smokey the Bear are about 10 or 11 months old now and full grown. Puff has become a cuddle cat while Smokey likes to be petted but always want to play bite. They got fixed a while ago, right after one of them started peeing in the house. Luckily that stopped.
Puff and Smokey.
Still figuring out the sewing machine. Was able to get thread wound on the bobbin. Then was able to correctly thread the needle. But when I sew large amounts of thread ends up on the bottom side. Doug says the tension may be off. I will investigate.
