Howdy all. Not much happening lately. Well, other than some really lousy sleep because of nasty dreams. They seem to be centered around the frustrations of how we (U.S. citizens and other residents) are being abused by the existing government control. I know I say I like to keep politics out of this blog, but this isn’t about the politics, per se, but how they are affecting my well being. And my well being (enjoying life) is exactly what this blog is to be about.
From being accosted by I.C.E., to having my house targeted by missiles, to being kidnapped by government agencies, to having possessions seized, are all infiltrating my dreams. While none of this is happening to me in “real” life, it is happening to others, and I read about this daily. For example, the same companies that are building huge data centers in this area, and using way to much of the existing power grid, are trying to buy the utility companies. As one my expect, their priorities, in a power shortage period, is not going to be the existing residential customer base.
How is this manifested into my dreams, you ask? Well, how about the government entering my home and demanding I turn over my house backup battery systems, so they can use it to fight off Iran. Yeah, makes little sense logically. But this is a dream world where the frustrations are meant to be interpretive.
Oh, and one dream I really hate, is when I.C.E. officers force their way into my house and go after Kitty because she isn’t a registered alien. Fork them, and the president that is causing this crap.
Please vote him, and his entire minion base out of office. Vote for Republicans, or Democrats, or Independents, or even freaking socialists, that are not going to spend their entire elected office time, kissing his Orange Arse. Do it for Kitty. She deserves a good life.
All Kitty wants is a life of caring and love, and the freedom to watch hummingbirds and little critters.
During the daytime, I’ve been watching a lot of mindless TV and YouTube. I’m doing my best to try and wrangle in my emotions and not get overly angered by the daily dose of media outrage. Obviously, I’m not doing so well at it.
Hey, I did get outside to spray for weeds on Monday / Tuesday. I also did a quick tomato harvest.
When I was picking this tomato 🍅 that is almost as big as the quart container, Chuckie Jr was maybe 8 feet away from me and totally oblivious to the potential danger of a HooMan
He (she?) could use a good brushing.. That fur looks a tad messy.
Ugh. I am too old to bend down below ground level to dig out potatoes by hand. And, can’t stand on one foot to use a shovel. Being bent over that far means I’m trying to breathe upward to fill the lungs 🫁. This is from one of the two same sized beds. I likely left big taters farther down in the soil. Especially in the middle of the bed. I’ll bag these tomorrow when they get a chance to dry. Sadly I had to toss some into the yard because they were late to harvest and didn’t look so good.
I still have some from last harvest in my pantry. And used some of those just the other day under some roasted chicken breasts.
And last night, my cameras picked up this cutie.
Yeah, the video ain’t great, but this is the first very young possum the cameras have captured. Mama was probably close by keeping the little one under a watchful eye. I may not be having a fabulous time lately, but this critter does know it is time to Enjoy Life
