I really don't like Holidays since I retired and I guess
that is a supremely selfish viewpoint. I loved that extra
day off when I was working.

We had the worst earthquake ever this morning. I was
sitting on a bar stool drinking coffee and it shook me
and the house to pieces. Rex was really frightened. Ted
was asleep and it woke him up. It was closer or much higher on the Richter scale than usual.

Jose is a trailer trash dog. I haven't been as vigilant
about walking him or have not walked him in time and he
has had 2 accidents. This is apparently why he had so
many return trips to the shelter and why he has such severe
seperation anxiety. He is ok with Rex but left alone, he
cries and whines. We are determined to lick the problem
because he is such a sweet little guy. All that walking
does me good anyway.

We are going to see Bad Mom's this afternoon but don't
have anything else planned for the weekend. Linda and
our Laura were here Tuesday and spent the night. I got
Laura's senior pictures. She is so beautiful but not any
more beautiful than her Mom was at the same age. All my
grandaughters are pretty and very sweet but then, I am
prejudiced.

I am trying to get some much needed things accomplished
in the house. the carpet needs shampooing and the curtains need washing and the bathroom needs regrouting.
Wish me luck.

By the way, why is the internet so riddled with lies and
misinformation? I guess the responsibility lies with
people who have no respect for the truth. I am going to
watch the news on educational tv from now on. It has
been so distorted on the regular channels. I hate the
fact that every word out of Donald Trump's mouth is
quoted ad infinitum on all the channels.
