When I arose this morning, I saw what looked like snow on the ground (gulp!) but was in reality an icy mix. It rained all night and will rain all day. The birds were out in full force searching for food, taking advantage of the rain-soaked ground.

But it’s gray out there. And sort of dismal.

Temperatures are lower than normal. This is the latest spring I can remember. Everyone is more than ready for warmer temperatures, and not just a day or two here and there, but consistent warmth. We’re getting very impatient, Mother Nature.

Sigh.

I managed to watch Masterpiece, which is airing a new mystery starring one of my favorite actresses, Nicola Walker, and the second half of the Comey interview. Why, tell me why, does ABC feel they have to add music and stock footage? It’s not reality television, it’s news. It took away from the seriousness of the interview. I have a feeling that Rachel’s interview with him on Thursday will be much more satisfying and will have the necessary gravitas.

That being said, there was nothing all that shocking and nothing I didn’t know already. That Spanky behaves like a mobster is crystal clear. And New Yorkers have known about his mob ties for years.

I’m trying to decide when I’m going to spend a day or two with Don this week. Maybe Thursday? I didn’t want to go in today and have to deal with an umbrella while schlepping my rolling suitcase and shoulder bag during the several block walk to the apartment.

Nothing exciting on the docket today – a trip to the grocery store, vacuuming, dusting, swiffering, that sort of thing.

Happy Monday.

We’re supposed to have high temperatures in the seventies today. Back down to the fifties tomorrow. Since I have to hang around because someone is coming to look at the sump pump, I’ll be working outside, I think.

Thought I didn’t sleep well last night, as all of the news coming out about Spanky (my nickname for you-know-who) is worrisome. Because we know he’ll try something stupid out of fear – and he’s really, really scared – which might include firing Rod Rosenstein or Mueller today. If that happens, get ready to march, my friends. We cannot allow that. He must be held to account for his crimes. If you saw Rachel’s show last night, you saw a Rachel I’ve never seen before. Very emotional, very upset.

Anyway, I’m more than a bit edgy and I’m drinking my second cup of coffee!

I’m going to make this short, my friends. Just heard the repair guys are headed my way.

Happy Friday.

Hi everyone. I’m really under the weather and just can’t concentrate enough to write a post. Also, tomorrow we’re going to be hit by our 4th nor’easter in three weeks. I am so over all of this and I sure as heck can’t shovel.

Think of any cuss word and I can guarantee you I’ve said it in the last 24 hours.

Anyway, I have to force myself to go out and run some errands because I don’t know when I’ll be able to get out again. The predictions about this storm are all over the place so I have no idea how much heavy, wet snow will fall.

I’m over it.

If you don’t see a post tomorrow or the next day, it will simply be because I want to rest.

Happy Tuesday.
