Up early today for a drive to the kidney transplant center in Portland ME. 4 hours of meetings are scheduled as part of the initial prep work. Current wait time for a kidney in this area is five years. A live donor who volunteers a kidney will cut this to almost nothing. My son needs one. Please?

Window frost this morning.

Awww. I just lost my 16 year old tabby quite unexpectedly.

Here’s to everyone across the country heading out in protest tomorrow. #NOKINGS Remembering the Women’s March in San Diego 2017.

4:25 am
Stars still bright.
Orion on show.
My son told me the Jack-o-Lantern mushrooms growing where the old Crabapple tree once stood glowed in the dark, so I had to get up and see whether that was true.

Monday morning light.
Late September light.
Early Autumn light.

I’m on overload trying to keep up with 47’s BS. I can’t. I can’t keep up with crazy. But I can change what’s in my feed here & other platforms to reduce the incessant howl of “reporting” which magnifies everything. I want to raise a pitchfork every day but today flowers are better for my sanity.

Almost home.

August is ending on a cool note this year, thankfully, leaving me to appreciate the late afternoon sunlight on fading blossoms. Appreciating the light wherever I can matters. Life is difficult right now. #sunlight

Perfect weather. Soothing scenery. If I could take a dip in that crystal clear water I would. Alas, it is 55°. #maine

Early Saturday morning, sitting in a park in the shade and waiting for my son who’s having dialysis. He’ll be done in a few hours. I’m sick of reading the news and I don’t feel like writing. A walk? I could doze off. That’s what I really want.

Spring is taking its sweet time this year but damn! I’m glad I have dirt to dig in or I’d be bat sh!t crazy by now.

This morning Midcoast Maine. March is not going out like a lamb.

The ice is melting but a rock cast still clatters sharply, sliding effortlessly across its surface. #maine

Ms. Lizzie says hello.

Is she serious??? The FOTUS did *exactly* that resulting in the Jan 6 insurrection & is free. So are all those who participated. I am SICK of all of this 💩. www.foxnews.com/politics/hou...

Funny how they can call out attempts to interfere with Doge as being illegal when EVERYTHING they are doing right now is illegal. It's disgusting.

Gave up Twitter last year after leaving it dormant for several years. So here I am waiting for a flight in NJ. Good morning @bluesky.app Glad to be here!
