OK, so I’m a little giddy today. Aren’t you? Be honest!

This was last night, which is why it is so dark. I wanted something upbeat for today, and neither Biden not Harris is much of a grandstander, but they are both caring.

Robert Reich

Now This News – I missed it at the time, but now I wonder if it could help if seen by Trump** supporters.

“The Damage Report” I have no comment.

Beau on inauguration Security (which will basically be completed by the time this goes up – let’s hope he is right – he taped it Monday.)

Music – “Jubilee” by G. W. Chadwick – because it’s my personal favorite feel-good piece.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. WWWendy is here doing chores. Tomorrow, I don’t know what I’ll be posting. I’ll be busy watching history being made and water circling the bowl. Tuesday is Flush your Republicans Day, but be sure to save some for tomorrow.

It was a pleasure to work with Dr. King on Vietnam Summer. Of all the people I have met in my life, he stands head and shoulders above the rest.

In addition to I Have a Dream, you should also watch Beyond Vietnam. I was in Riverside Baptist Church. After the speech, we formed the organizing committee for Vietnam Summer. The policies he outlined are what we are still fighting to achieve today and challenged the far right to murder him.

I trust that this is the first time Dr. King has observed this remembrance washout grieving since 2013. I rejoice that he is rejoicing today!

Yesterday, my labs were excellent, and my Oncologist called my overall condition better than expected. They were running a bit slow, so by the time I got home I was exhausted. I did not sleep well. When I’m sitting up so long, it takes a couple days to get my pain level back to barely tolerable (3 – 4) from severe (6-7). WWWendy has de-stunk me and is doing chores. It’s a Holy Weekend in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My Portland Chiefs play the Browns tomorrow. How much I do tomorrow will depend on how I feel. Cheering Trump’s** last weekend!

Short Takes:

From Crooks and Liars: …On Wednesday afternoon, just hours after his 2nd impeachment (the first President to ever be impeached twice!) he released a 5-minute hostage video where he condemned the violent riot and insurrection (that he encouraged) and told his army of deranged MAGA supporters to please not do it again (wink wink).

The video was released on Twitter. Not Trump’s Twitter account…which is shut down. It was put out on the White House Twitter/YouTube account.

Trump still has not conceded the election that he clearly lost. Nor has he called President-elect Joe Biden to congratulate him. Not that Biden cares.

In addition to his second impeachment and the hostage video, Trump’s relationship with his bestie, Rudy Giuliani, is on thin ice. Why? Because Rudy didn’t deliver…so now Trump doesn’t want to pay him. Trump was “offended” by Giuliani’s request for $20,000/day. The Washington Post reports that Trump has told aides not to pay him AT ALL. Trump is also insisting on “personally approv[ing] any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states.”

Trump** isn’t paying his bills? LMAO! Oh my! What a surprise! RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!

It’s a tired and busy day, here in the CatBox. I could not get an afternoon nap yesterday, because Maintenance was doing major repairs on the vacant apartment next door. The noise was deafening. It was so bad that I could not even hear the TV three feet from my head. I did get some sleep last night, but not enough. I’ll try to touch base when I return from the hospital. TGIF!!

It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox. I have no idea why, but I could not sleep last night, so I’m very tired. As soon as I dozed off during my morning nap, I woke up., because I had to make an emergency run to the throne to impeach a big load of Republicans. Fortunately it was neither -osis nor -itis. Today is grocery delivery day from Store to Door, and I have to unpack and put everything away when they arrive. Tomorrow WWWendy is taking me to the hospital for my infusion. I’ll post a brief Personal Update, before I leave, and and a “home safe” comment in the afternoon or evening. Saturday is a WWWendy day, so please expect no more than a personal update that day. This is a the last day with Trump** as Resident. Make it a good one.
