When your friend KNOWS you…you get Xmas gifts like this.

A pair of beige Jenny Lemons crew socks with hot dogs on them, a glass goose ornament wearing a wreath around its neck, and a Dirty Lola enamel pin shaped like a tombstone that says “here lies my faith in humanity”.

A fancy plate with green, maroon, and gold decorations. In the center is a picture of Krampus jamming a child into a bag, with the words “Kookies for Krampus”.

Foolishly went to 2 shelters yesterday. Why was it foolish, you ask?

School vacation week. People EVERYWHERE. The shelters were MOBBED. And low stock on available cats. (Which is great for the cats, and terrible for me.)

I have applications in with two different rescues now.

Kerry Kennedy — Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s daughter and RFK Jr.’s sister — says she’s going to grab a pickax as soon as Trump’s term is over and take his name off the Kennedy Center.

Screenshot of an X post by user kerrykennedyrfk. The caption reads: “Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!” Below the text is a photo of a white stone building facade showing black lettering that reads “THE JOHN F. KENNEDY MEMORIAL CENTER,” partially covered on the right side by a blue tarp. And “The Donald” above Kennedy’s name.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact,

most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Currently baking dark chocolate tahini cookies. They consist of ground almonds, cocoa powder, tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla, with a sprinkling of sesame seeds on top. (I don’t have any sesame seeds and I’m not stupid enough to go to the grocery store now)

My girl is in her place of honor in her sweet ceramic urn.

A small shelf sits on a wall, and on the shelf is a white ceramic urn painted with gold stars and a black cat playing with one of the stars. Also on the wall is a large clay ornament with paw prints on it, and a stained glass moon with a cat sitting on it, and a string of crystals dangling below. There is also a card taped to the wall.

A white ceramic urn with a black cat painted on it - the black cat is up on her hind legs playing with the stars that are painted on the urn.

The top of the urn says Willie, 2009-2025.

The ONLY check I write these days is my rent check to my landlord. My rent is due on 10/24.

Guess who is out of checks? 🤦‍♀️

(I don’t need problem solving. Just feel my pain.)
