Good morning. It’s a busy day for me. I have to figure out something to carry for lunch with the ladies group. Hmm . . . do I remember how to do such things?
Just because you say something’s worth a trillion dollars, doesn’t mean it is.
That has proven true now.
A trillion-dollar platinum coin could be minted at the last minute to avert breaching the debt ceiling, the former director of the U.S. Mint tells Axios. https://t.co/0T1RG46NqV
I can understand how a person may sose it suddenly and commit a murder.
I canot understand somethinng that requires planning, such as shooting up a school. Seems that s “then what?” would appear somewhere in the planing.
Then: I will be famous and everybody will know my name.
I will pay back those mean people who teased me throughout school.
I will be an awful person and all the other awful people will look up to me.
I will be Satan’s favorite.
Whew. Cleaned her room again. This time, it took less than two hours. Improvement. Twenty came home angry again. Seems her helpers left her in charge of her own meds.
She asked for a hug this morning. A huge improvement over “I want you dead”.
Earlier today, Nightingale texted me to tell me that she received a phone call from Boy’s school to inform her that he had been sent to the principal’s office. What did he do?
It was for positive recognition because he had helped a classmate with math work. 🙂
Boy is very good at math, and has figured some things out before being taught in school.

We had the priviledge of hearing the mother of Richard Jewell (man accused of the Olymbic bombing in Atlanta) talk about Operation Christmas Child gift boxes. She was the church coordinator of that for years but new church leadership no longer wants it as a church outreach, but we little old WMU ladies can do it on our own.
When I visited Mumsee, we had a nice, quiet visit, sorta with no drama. But the mice, they provided all of the drama we needed. And they were baby mice!
The sounds of Halloween have arrived in my neighborhood — Lucky the Longshoreman across the street has put up their annual scary decorations, complete with “scream” sound effects.
