so many tender layers with the perfect chocolate icing spread between and over!

Y’all, guess what just arrived? A gorgeous, festive, perfect, special, sublime chocolate Doberge cake from Gambino’s Bakery in New Orleans. It’s for my birthday, which is tomorrow (4/16/20, 4+16=20, love how those numbers work like that), and I am beyond excited. Haven’t had one since my 40th!

If you, too, are down about the orange stankweasel for stealing more than 3,500 masks from the national stockpile for personal White House use WHILE discouraging the public from wearing them, threatening to refuse needed funding to the US Postal Service, and withholding funding from the World Health Organization, you need to laugh. Also, mail a ton of letters and buy a ton of stamps. What is a country without a mail service, FFS? For dog-lovers, the three links at the bottom are cute, especially the first one.

Y’all, I got to let my new kumquat and meyer lemon trees sun on the deck for a while today, and for that, I am thankful.

To give you a break from this:

have y’all watched (hell no!) or read about (take it slow) Agent Orange’s recent pressers? He is batshit crazy, a bully, and all in all, an asshole. OMG.

Finally, in FABULOUS news, did y’all see that despite the GOP attempts (and SCOTUS support of said attempts) to cheat in the state election on 4/7, the progressive justice defeated the conservative incumbent (and trump-backed, scott walker-nominated) soundly!!!!!

13 April 2020: Daily Shiz

The available quarantine humor seems to slowing slightly, probably because this shit is not funny and most of us have been inside for at least a month, most more, listening to grim statistics about people dying. My part of Maryland has recently had a frickload of rain, tornado watches, huge temperature swings on a nearly daily basis, and downed trees and branches are getting to be an all-too-common site. I am sick to death of having to wrap my plants in frost cloth each night, and I am tired of gusting winds that make nothing fun.

Ok, thanks for letting me vent. This spoke to me today.

this speaks to the introvert in me!
