@colorado.gov Gov Polis when are you going to join these other blue states to protect Coloradans?? We need this NOW!
Glad to see it! The blue states are stepping up where the federal government has failed us.

Practicing a planned solo for an upcoming ballroom dance event, my teacher kept forgetting a step. At last he did it and said “Ha! I remembered!” I replied, “Oh good boy!!” I’d been saying that to my cat when he did something I wanted and it just came out of my mouth. He cracked up. 😂😂

Raised my living room shade and noticed there were a bunch of dead wasps in the track. I vacuumed them up. Then trying to figure out why/how they’d gotten in I looked up😳😳😳 Wasp spray is done and I’ll scrape off the nest tomorrow & try to figure out where they got in.😟

Gotta love social media. 100+ likes and funny responses to a post about my cat barfing (thanks guys it’s been entertaining to hear what we experience with our little house tigers). Always less than 10 (usually far less) when I post about my books. The struggle is real. 😂📚

Grew some cat grass that Bean loves. Finally figured out why they eat grass. It’s so they can barf up hairballs everywhere except the easy to clean hardwood floor 🙄😂 #caturday

When I can’t take the barrage of daily 🍊💩 horror, I retreat to my garden. This is the first hummingbird to appear this season.

A woman asked if I respected men. IMO respect is something a person (regardless of gender ID) must earn. I keep an open mind about people until they reveal who they are. She believes men automatically deserve respect and not granting them that was ‘dissing’ them. I talked about reality for women. 😕

I talked to a group of young writers recently about how stories need an arc and how during that arc, the characters must grow. That can be in a good way or bad, but we and our characters must change. What’s your story arc?

I want angry incense for July fourth. One request don’t buy the noisy firecrackers they’re traumatic for pets and can also affect veterans with PTSD. Angry incense is just pretty.

Happy Father’s Day to all the WOMEN who had to become father and mother because the ‘fathers’ bailed on their kids and their obligations. 💕

So proud of Arvada! Almost constant honking, thumbs up, and waves from cars. Got about four white guys flipping us off and one MAGA Moron who was in a pickup bedecked with 🍊🤡 flags who drove around the block and got soundly booed every time. Curious to see the final crowd count. Someone said 5k.
