Be nicer than you expect at the moment.

Wishing less pain for XanaDUer too.

Fed the crows their peanuts and a couple crumbled up stale cheddar biscuits I had made a few days ago. They seriously love my homemade bread, actually.

I have some bananas I am letting go overly ripe so I can make banana bread for my DH and me.

That’s about it for today. Have some housework to do. I exercise on the treadmill or walk outside each day. Which is more of an accomplishment than it sounds like because I have MS that has caused significant lower spinal cord damage. It’s good for me to exercise but it’s always a struggle. I miss the days I used to go on runs. But that’s life. Everyone gets health challenges when they get older.

Telling myself I should do some art but I just don’t want to anymore. Everything feels like, “what’s the point?” Except making banana bread for Dave because he will enjoy eating that.

Spending some time each day daydreaming about Dave’s retirement and us moving to Tucson. Where I won’t be cold for months and months each year. I really hate the cold.

Another 2 1/2 years. Or sooner if he gets fired from his fed position. His retirement is secure now, he will be okay unless they also take all of that away, all the pensions. All the SS, everything. If they take all of it away, half the nation or more will be in dire straits. But I think more and more, they want most of us dead, these agents working for Putin.
