Ruling on immunity.
Scarey too. But Joe IS President not tRump.

Moving today so no time to sulk.
However. Lost the keys to the new place for a time. They WERE FOUND and had dropped out of my purse when it got tipped in a bin I put it in during shift.
So I didn’t lose the keys.
Landlord was very nice to meet me and give me a temp set. And as soon as that happened work called and said they checked the bin for me and had them.
Having a bite to eat then back at it.

Take care DU friends!!

I end up watching documentaries on WW2 concentration camps and the attack on 9/11.

Usually watching classic films and tv shows does the trick to cheer me up but not any more. So I am going with the "it could be worse" frame of mind.

Things are terrible and I know it but when I look out at the trees they seem unbothered so I try to go on!

The feeling of joy crowded by a panic for the world this child will live in comes in waves. I’ve decide no matter what to fill this little one with books, and love and treasure the now as we go forward. I hope something good has graced your door. Love to you!💗💗🙏🏼

To deliver a warm green chocolate chip cookie with candy googly eyes, a cookie monster. The kids are adorable and the cookie was delicious!
