If I discovered that my favorite celebrity, actor, performer, or athlete is MAGA, my admiration would immediately be over.
This is no longer about politics and the right to an opinion.
It is about morals and character. Of which they obviously have none!

To the MAGA ignoramuses who toss out names with a what if they're in #EpsteinFiles?
The fact is, I don't care what politician or celebrity is named.
I don't care if the Pope, my grandfather, or my best friend is on the list.

I can't wait to hear what's in the #EpsteinFiles.
And how the orange scumbag reacts, deflects, and creates chaos for distraction.
And if his MAGA worshippers change their opinion about him!
Pop the corn, the world is waiting!

LA traffic is so weirdly unpredictable.
This afternoon, it took me a casual 29 minutes to drive 27 miles from home to Culver City.
This evening it took a tense hour and 40 minutes to drive the exact same 27 miles from Culver City to home! 🤷🏻♀️

I live in California. Zohran Mamdani is the mayor of NYC.
So, why did I wake up feeling happy, as if Mamdani is our new POTUS? Like he can change everything that’s so very wrong with our country.
I’m holding on to that feeling and manifesting. 😊

I'd love to adopt a dog, but my current lifestyle doesn't allow for it right now.
I’d love to have more children, but that opportunity has passed, and financially, it would be irresponsible.
A great alternative would be to date a man who has a doggie and kids.
Now to find him! 😊

I love when people say, “I’m leaving California (or NYC) because it's too Liberal, too woke.”
And when they say, “I wouldn't live in California (or NYC) if you paid me.”
GOOD! No decent person wants you here. You won't be missed. Go live with your other ignorant, bigoted, hateful cronies! 🤪

Silly little things amuse me, like watching the clock at 2 am switch back to 1 am, and then checking my emails to see that they arrived at 1:22 am, just after it had gone back to 1 am.
Never can say I'm high maintenance when it comes to pleasing me.:))

I was putting together a shopping list on the grocery store app I use every week.
I purchase many of the items regularly, and I was shocked by how much prices have risen in just a week!
The scary part is that, with SNAP benefits ending for the immediate future, it's only going to get worse.⬇️

If you have coupons (especially for free items) that you don’t use and can afford to purchase, consider getting them anyway.
Then donate the items to a food bank or a neighbor in need.
Do the same if you grow fruit, vegetables, or herbs and have an overabundance.
Waste nothing!

If you see a parent in a grocery store aisle opening packages and giving their kids crackers, cookies, or a piece of fruit before paying for them.
Look the other way, you saw nothing!

Please go through your pantry and if you have spare food that you won't use before it reaches its expiration date, donate to a food pantry or a neighbor in need so people on #SNAP benefits can use what they have left on other essentials.

When you have high anxiety/panic disorder, like I do, it's vital to be cognizant of who, what, and where triggers you.
We can't always avoid triggers. But when you're aware, you can plan appropriately and ground yourself in advance.

My favorite reason for watching #TheAmazingRace is seeing countries I'll probably never visit. The customs, history, and sights are fascinating.
I especially enjoyed seeing Prague this week because it's my paternal ancestry. 😍

I know in the past, most priests didn't weigh in on political matters.
However, thanks to the current evil regime, nothing is as it was!
Now is not the time for anyone to be silent.

As the orange scumbag wields his evil power, we are all at risk, and being out in the world feels as unsafe now as it did during the pandemic!
People are afraid, angry, and some are taking matters into their own hands.

I despise that holyroller pseudo Conservative Christians have made me wary of guys on #datingsites that say they're Christian.
Another red flag: “apolitical”. It either means they're apathetic about what's happening or they're actually MAGA and don't want to admit it too soon!

Yesterday I had to meet with someone (professionally). She's been under the weather for a week (cold, flu, COVID, not sure).
Instead of being an inconsiderate dipwad, she wore a mask, suggested I do too (I did), brought her own pen, met with me outside, and kept a distance.⬇️

So the government officially shut down. Depending on how long it lasts, the repercussions will be devastating.
But at least we’ll have a new $200 million ballroom at the White House that 99.9% of us will never benefit from.
Tell me again how the orange scumbag is making America great again!

So I hiked up the AC, lit an autumn candle, and cuddled under my cozy blanket on the couch, with a baking show on TV. I'm going to chill for two hours and be in the moment.

Today, during a routine check-up, my doctor said she's begging everyone to get COVID and flu vaccines.
She said infections are rising rapidly, and as a doctor, it's discouraging and frustrating that people are ignoring the warnings, not taking precautions, and roaminf about spreading infections.
