Morning MJ & all. Dark & rainy this AM with CatTV on. It’s making me want to go back to bed. Got my work cut out for me next week. Muddy footprints everywhere. Going to lunch at L&J with brother today. It’s a Mexican food type of day.
Stay dry & warm all. Peace to all ☮️

Morning MJ &all. Well Runaway Cruz was seen on a plane out of TX. I guess the eastern part of the state is going to freeze. Luckily we here in EP will not lose power and heat it will just cost an arm and a leg.
Put the humidifier out as I keep shocking myself on everything I touch. Peace!

Morning MJ &all. Yesterday during the 🍊🤡 presser I put CatTv on and the kittys and I were quite entertained and it’s very calming.
I’ve been watching the Peace Walk by the monks through the south. It amazes me to see so many going out just to see them. It’s been peaceful and calm. Gives me hope.

Morning MJ &all. Change in the weather coming. That’s what I blame it on.
Putting on a pot of pinto beans for later. Will decide if it will turn into chili or tacos later.
Put a cat channel on UTube. It’s birds eating at a feeder in the snow. Needless to say the kittys are mesmerized. Great day all.

Morning MJ &all. Costco run early. They have pallets of water down every isle and makes it hard to navigate. I guess it’s leftover from the huge water emergency.
Looking around my house it’s calling me to clean up. Lalalala🤣 I’m ignoring that voice.I’d like to get to Mesilla soon. Need some NM time

Morning MJ &all. I’m spitting mad 😡. ICE is raiding house construction sites here in El Paso. They are doing it early to avoid protesters. Home building is going to come to a screeching halt.

While we do what’s best for them it’s always hard to come to a decision. Looking at that face makes it even harder.

Morning MJ &all. I’ve got the blahs today. Not sure why. Want to get out and enjoy something new. Hard to get hubby away from the old places.
Watching the kitties go a little bonkers. Don’t know what got them going but they have the zoomies.
Realize my house is so cluttered with cat stuff now.

Morning MJ &all. They are changing out our water meter to a new hi-tech Wi-Fi meter so that no one needs to come out and read it anymore. More jobs lost to tech. Wonder how accurate it will be.
Getting ready for the Year of The Fire Horse. Everything points to a good year. Get out to vote soon.

My son bought a limited edition Bob Weir signed guitar. Only 5 made. He has been a deadhead for as long as I remember. So sad 😢 We are losing so many musical giants.

Morning MJ. Now opens an 11:11 portal today and tomorrow. It’s the time to put out positivity and focus on the next 9 year cycle. Saying “I Am, & I Have” instead of I want or I need will set the tone.
Be kind to yourself and others.
Enjoy your visitors. It’s always nice to spend time with people.

Morning MJ &all. I just can’t watch the news anymore. It’s so depressing. At my age I need peace of mind. I’ve fought the battles in my youth and I’m tired. 😢
It’s so depressing. I’m just going to watch my kittens and enjoy my home. Stay safe my friends. Find peace wherever you can. ☮️

Morning MJ &all. I need to finish up knitting a blanket I started 3 months ago. This weather makes me want to stay in so I guess it’s time to finish it.
Yesterday I saw people run red lights at 3 different intersections. I swear it’s too dangerous to drive anymore.
Be careful out on the roads.

Morning MJ &all. Headed to the doctor this morning. I’m usually in and out within 20 minutes of getting there. Tacos sound really good today. I might have to make some.
Hope everyone has a nice hot cup of coffee and thinks about the good things they have in life. My best to all.

Morning MJ & all. Starting out to be a beautiful day. Just a little pick up around the house today. Cat toys everywhere.😸
Need to get out of the house today.
As long as you feel good when you get up the amount of sleep is just right.
Here's something to give you a smile

Morning MJ &all. Was at breakfast with my son’s mother-in-law. She just returned from having Christmas in Miami with her family. She brought back Nicaraguan tamales. Similar to ours but has no chile.

Morning MJ& all. Now the 🍊🤡 is threatening Mexico. Impeach NOW.
It’s too beautiful a day to listen to that 🤡.
I wish I could laze away the morning, however the livestock require attention every morning. 🤣
Not sure what we’re doing today. Hubby’s back is bad today.
Well friends have a good day.
