Chilly, windy day yesterday and 21F this morning. Ugh. The soup hits the spot on these continuing cold days. I even had to break out the mittens I thought I had washed and stored for the season. At least there was no wind this morning. I saw a muskrat swimming the lake this morning.

Work is boring, as NYC is on break this week. I've been doing some of those things on my "to-do in the future when I have time" things, like updating the international instructions. Still boring. If it stays this way, I may take some half days off?

Dog has his annual checkup today so I'll take a long lunch, at least today.

Looks like the Assahollah's empire is falling apart, much like the first term, as the leaks are increasing exponentially and the firings have begun. (I'm surprised it took this long.) I am so concerned that the madman will use nuclear weapons. DOD Hags-breath is completely off his rocker too, so I wouldn't put it past either of them. The latest deadline for negotiating is 8pm (or has that changed yet again TACO?) The Assahollah is so used to getting his way by bullying people, and for the first time in his life, people are standing up to and against his bullying and it is satisfying to see the bully floundering. People are no longer cleaning up his messes for him. I think the Minnesotans joined in unison to stand up to him was the impetus needed to give others the same courage, with the European countries moving forward without him now, and the Iranians giving him a big middle finger. It's just the unknown of how far he will go to save face. A crazed, demented idiot with access to nuclear weapons. I haven't felt this nervous since Reagan was in office. He too had dementia while in office.

Turns out DHS lied (under oath) about the third Minneapolis shooting. Surprise surprise.

Had a bad dream last night, where honey, his brother and wife, set me up to embarrass me. I can 100% see the wife doing that, as she has been unpleasant to me from the first day I met her. I hope it isn't a premonition of things to come.
