Not much to write this week. I'm starting up again on my comic Promised Memories again. Now I'm on chapter 19 finally! Then chapter 20 and I'll be done with part 2 of my story! I'm thinking of making it a total of 5 parts? Maybe up to 100 chapters... that feels like a-lot but already it's been 18 chapters which is a good accomplishment. It feels nice to work on it again.

The weather here has been pretty crummy. Wet, stormy, windy and cold. Climate change is a thing! I've gotten a bit of gardening done but not much. I need to learn what this one ground cover plant is that I have on my hill. I got it years ago from a patient I took care of when I did home health care. It's been growing nicely along with my lilac bushes I'm planting and hoping to have spread-out so I don't have to mow. Earlier this week I got my mower stuck several times on my hill and it was annoying. So the sooner I don't have to mow the better.

My house has sort of become a mess - not too horrible... but enough that I'm over it. But it's hard - I have moved a-lot of my hobbies and projects to the living room to keep an eye on Wiley since we've been keeping him closed off to just a few rooms in the house - mainly just the living room. It'll be nice when I can get my office together and set back up the way I wanted/needed. I have several books I want to organize better on my book shelves.

Bits and pieces of the news has stressed me out enough to remind me why I hate the news and that it's good to avoid it mostly. I do hear bits of NPR in the mornings and afternoons to and from work. Thinking about the damage he has been causing in this country and the world reminds me of a migraine that doesn't seem to go away. It just lingers. I wonder how many of his supporters still support him after the things he has done in the last several months.

Just a simple little plant survey to do to help research. From the website itself: "Your participation will help us understand what people find beautiful in plants and why. Especially as climate change affects our environment, it becomes more important how we build and design our gardens and parks."

I will make this one brief, but I wanted to just say how grateful I am things are looking better than I original thought they would for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Regardless of what was going to happen, if Joe would have stayed in the race I would have still voted for him. The views and beliefs I have will always line up with the democratic party. And I liked Joe Biden. But I feel like he did the best job and choice he could have.
And now we hand the torch to Kamala and Tim. Both people I can stand behind and believe in. I'm feeling more of a fighting spirit, more motivated and happier about things. We can't afford anther Trump presidency. Things around the world and the climate are too far gone to go back to what we had. We need to think about each other on this planet earth and our environment as a whole.
If you have different views than me and have seen this post and gaged - don't worry. I don't like to post political stuff too often, but I feel like this has been on my heart strings for a few days now and I wanted to write about it. We can still be friends and have different views, I have always believed in this. I'll respect you and yours and you respect me and mine. Thanks for reading this little power rant and have a good day & weekend wherever you are :-)
