We got ZERO snow yesterday. We have more predicted today and tomorrow. I predict, we will get exactly the same amount we got yesterday. Poop. On the up side, I can get to the pool which was too warm today. WTF? It was way way too warm when I got in but one of those 'way's was probably from standing the previous 10 minutes outside in the cold. I still enjoyed my swim a lot so no biggie.

I did one load of wash while I swam. I have another to wash and both to dry so that's my big chore today. I don't wear a lot of clothes, I don't wear any underwear and non of my clothes are precious so they all get washed together. Laundry is not a huge ordeal. Wash, dry, fold and stack on closet shelves. When the dirty clothes hamper is full, it's two loads worth. I'm very low maintenance.

I think I'll stick my bedsheet in the second load (I also don't use a top sheet - just one fitted sheet with a comforter or blanket depending on the season).

There will be doll sewing and knitting - the usual.

I'm really losing my patience with the news media. I get a fairly large dose of their whining on Twitter but, I realized this morning, the other place I hear so much crap from them is NPR. Yes, I think Donald Trump is a ridiculous idiot but I think the reporters and editors are being about as ridiculous and unreasonable as he is. This morning there was a piece about how the broadcasting network executives were not going to meet with the press this week as they have in the past. The media interviewed sounded so stupid on the subject, I was on the network executives side by the end of the piece. I'm afraid that news media is going to make me have to defend Trump. Everybody off my fucking lawn... NOW!

Zoey seems to think she deserves seconds on breakfast.

God. I was listening to The Swing Years last night. Amanda Wilde was off, and Katie Sewall was hosting. It seemed like she was hyping the coming snow every ten minute. It was almost like she wanted it even more than I did. The problem is that it came off more like she was taunting me.

That anon comment was me. I'm not sure why LJ did that seeing how I'm logged in. ?

Yeah, I'm following the story about moving the Embassy to Jerusalem very closely (for obvious reasons) and also following the news media freakout about it. No one seems to be reporting on the complicated issues invovled... including the fact that a bill to move the Embassy already passed, but the presidents up until now have put a hold on the action for national security reasons.

I cannot imagine what it must be like for you. It's like 3 different worlds... what the media reports, what your agency knows and then real life. And that's playing out over everything these days. It's nuts.

Chicken Little is alive and well.

I do not watch TV news at all. I hear short public radio news reports (WQXR or WCRB), the two classical music stations we listen to and they are quite reasonable.

My news source is to read the Boston Globe which is a pretty reasonable, non-sensationalist newspaper.

I do need to get better news sorces cause the ones I've got now are just pissing me off.

Well, I sometimes get additional news from things people post on Facebook, but I've gotten used to adding plenty of salt.

No undies. Another perk of growing old! :)

One of my very very very favorite perks, actually. Saves money, time, drawer space and laundry. Win win win

At some point a while back, I completely stopped listening to or watching the news on tv or radio, unless there is something going on that I want to know about. Mostly I get my news from reading now. It has helped my blood pressure a lot.

We got ZERO snow yesterday. We have more predicted today and tomorrow. I predict, we will get exactly the same amount we got yesterday.

Oh, I bet you'll get at least twice as much.
