How is it that I can wake an hour later than I've been waking and still be on schedule this morning? What do I use that extra 1-2 hours doing?? The alarm woke me this morning, and it was so confusing. But I was so tired all day yesterday, I'm glad I got some sleep.

Tried adding taco sauce to the slop for dinner, that made it even grosser. I'm also having a mild reaction similar to eating tree nuts. I thought maybe the GF flour used for the cookies was the culprit, but it was rice-based. I suspect it is that sauce I used, maybe the fish sauce or tamarind? These were other ingredients used in the sauce. Again, not something one would expect to find in a Tex-Mex sauce. I will never buy that brand again and will stick to my own recipes. That's what I get for being lazy. Lesson learned.

I'm planning on taking a morning off next week to get the oil changed and tires rotated. Long overdue. NYC is on break next week, so things should be quieter at work for me to take time off.

Tried to find a nonprofit to donate other than the usual but I got overwhelmed from the lists and gave up. I was trying to find one that brought wrongfully detained people back to MN from TX concentration camps. People are being released with no money, no phone, and only the clothes on their backs. There is a network of people making the drive to bring them home or fly them home. But i can't find it.

Saw one thug vehicle this morning and glared at them. I used to wave at the bus drivers and commuters as I walked along the busy road each morning, but I'm not comfortable doing that anymore because I don't want to greet the thugs with a smile and a wave. They don’t deserve to be treated kindly. I hate this feeling of viewing every SUV and van as potential thugs. If they had been honest at the start by unmasking, wearing identifying badges, not switching out plates, ACTUALLY ARRESTING THE WORST OF THE WORST AND NOT MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE and lying about it all, we wouldn't be here. But we are. And not only have they destroyed our trust, they have destroyed our economy, which I imagine was also part of their plan as MN has always been at the top of the thriving states.

I wish I could stop federal witholding taxes from my paycheck, especially since I am paying thugs to destroy our state.
