I Can't Help Myself

 It was a fabulous morning at 3 am as I tried to be extra quiet due to company in the other room.  As you can imagine with Mr. Cooper, that didn't last long.  Someone drove a little too close to the house on their way to work and he went ballistic.  So much for sleeping company.

Girlfriend Cyndae is visiting from Sacramento for a few days.  Just for kicks, we watched the news.  I'll be honest, I NEVER watch the news, but I just can't help myself now.

I know all of us have been hard working adults all our lives, working to pay the bills and support your families.  Did you ever ... even ONE day ... cry your heart out at school when the other political party won the election?  Yeah, me either.

 Well apparently we have a generation of humans I'm not familiar with.  Harvard University Professors shut down their classes so kids could go to SAFE ROOMS, to recover from the savageness of the election results.  Previously they were provided puppies to hug.  This time it was Leggos to distract them from the trauma.  What the heck???

 My only thought was I'm glad for Tech Schools!!!    

In other news, Cyndae and I ate way too much and watched too much CNN while government representatives ranted and raved over the election outcome.  Did anyone see the three governors saying they were going to protect all illegal immigrants from deportation?  Even the criminals?  Wow ... I have no words for THAT!  And there was a picture of California's Newsome holding a machine gun?  I think he has forgotten about a little thing called Federal Funding.

 Anyway, Cyndae laughed even more at me as I dug the B. A. L. L. out from under the furniture for Mr. Cooper to play.

This is why I don't have nice clothes.  It was hanging just a little too far off the chair.

While Cyndae looked into the renovations of her rental house, I worked on this quilt.  One of the Elks wives makes these lap quilts for Veterans.  Each one has a panel for that particular branch of service.  Sadly, they are not going to be making them any more, so when they asked me to take it over, I said sure.

This one is going to a gentleman back East who is just retiring.  The top came to me sewn together, I just had to quilt it.  You will probably be seeing a lot of these, as I'm picking up all the extra center panels she has.  

This morning I'm off early to the Elks Lodge for our Vendor Fair.  I got scammed into running the cash register for the snack bar ALL DAY.  Honestly, I'm not expecting much.  They set this event up way too fast and didn't advertise much at all.  I do not see it being the event of the year, but I could be wrong.

I tried to con Cyndae into going, but alas, she had other important things to do, like laundry or something.  Maybe if I'm lucky, I can sneak up to the attic for a quick nap.  Or maybe I should stop by the bank for some cash.  Decisions decisions!!!!
