I honestly can’t wait to bid this year a fond farewell, gang.

There are some good things that came from it, obviously, but they are seriously overshadowed by the things that really sucked.

This morning, I was lying in bed, my cup of coffee on the bedside table, the sun was coming up, and I thought to myself: I should have transitioned on December 14th, 2001.

I came to this conclusion primarily because that was the beginning of an extremely brief period in my life where I was living cat-free.

Kitty, the furry little love of my life, had been put to sleep the day before. She was almost 19 years old. She had been a gift to me from Valerie. Kitty had followed her home one day when Kitty was just a few months old.

Valerie already had about 5 cats at that point, living in a railroad flat with her and her girlfriend in Long Island City, Queens, so she said to me, “Do you want a kitten?” and I, living with a platonic gay male roommate and no cats in a railroad flat in Alphabet City, in Manhattan, said, “Yes! I do!”

And for nearly 19 years after that moment, I lived a rather simple existence as far as cats went.

Anyway. On December 14th 2001, I was cat-free, plus I had tons of friends and colleagues all over the world, I had a huge family and I was on reasonably good terms with all them — aunts, uncles, cousins, various parents, siblings, step-siblings, half-siblings, in-laws, nieces, nephews. My family was huge. And my first book, Neptune & Surf, had come out the year before to great reviews and it was selling great, and had garnered me some awards; my career was definitely on a rocket to the moon. Technically, I was still married but Wayne and I were living separate lives and discussing a possible divorce.

But it would have been the best time to simply cross-over. Life got really complicated and mostly unhappy after that — not to mention that the cat factor in my life has been off-the-charts since then.

My point is that I love them all but they are a lot of responsibility. And if they all live healthy, natural lives, I’ll be well into my 80s before I’ll be cat-free again, plus I’m gonna have to go through all that grief every time another one of them crosses over.

************

Anyway. On that cheery note…

I have today off!! And it is a beautiful day here. Nothing at all like how a December 30th usually is. It’s sunny, clear, and in the 50s Fahrenheit.

Yesterday, however, was a bit of a nightmare, in that I wound up having to work 3 shifts in a row. The upside was that it saved me 60 miles of driving because I went from one client to the next, but I was really tired when I got home last night.

And all of this exhaustion these days, leads to thoughts like the one above — when would have been the perfect time to cross-over????

Another disappointing thing happened — it turns out that not only are Wayne & I not making the road trip to Kentucky to see Dwight Yoakam and the Mavericks, the whole “possibility” was based on a text that had auto-corrected itself to say something entirely different than what it was supposed to say!

So the road trip to Kentucky was never even a possibility and I was so disappointed. I did look into getting myself one ticket to see them at the Beacon Theater in NYC in April, but the price of tickets there are just stupidly sky high. The way-back of the balcony is $88, and the main floor — forget about it!! Jesus, from $580 to $920.

I love them, but, you know… Plus I’d have to plan a trip to NYC around the show, so it gets more expensive by the nanosecond.

Anyway!! I digress!

Phil should be live tonight at 8PM Eastern time. Check here later to confirm.

There was a lot of interesting stuff, “news-wise” yesterday and this morning.

First off, I want to say that I always liked Jimmy Carter even though he was thought to be a lousy President. So it is disheartening to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff coming to light.

I knew that Carter had been mentioned unfavorably in an old Q drop, and Q-followers were saying that “Peanut,” the squirrel that died a few weeks back, was a comm about Carter being dead but that the White Hats hadn’t announced it yet.

So it gets interesting.

So, in the 70s, Jimmy Carter sold the Panama Canal back to Panama for $1.00. And, curiously, Trump has been talking lately about getting that canal back.

From Freedom Force Battalion:

“Check this out…. Is this why President Trump is focusing on the Panama Canal right now?”

And this is truly disheartening.

Several posts from Lin Wood yesterday evening:

“Our country lost another former President today with the death of Jimmy Carter.

The Georgia Gridiron Secret Society and freemasonry lost another brother.

The globalists/communists lost another comrade.

May Jimmy Carter’s body Rest In Peace.

His soul still exists.”

Also:

“I can only assume that Jimmy Carter did everything in his power to get more than $1.00 for the Panama Canal to improve the lives of all Americans.

I think the problem is that Carter did not have any REAL power.

Carter was a puppet for the Trilateral Commission.”

More:

“David Rockefeller established the Trilateral Commission in 1973.

His timing was perfect for the Carter Administration!!!

Trust the Rockefellers!!!

Nelson served as VP under Freemason Gerald (The Faller) Ford.”

Then scroll through many other unfavorable Carter-related posts, down to this and just keep reading.

***************

And then this (and then scroll, but be forewarned, it will make you sick):

“Remember my speech in April of 2021 in Tulsa at the Clay “Freemason” Clark grift event???

I said then that “the Clintons, the Bushes, the Obamas, and the Bidens” were ALL involved in child sex trafficking.

I made a mistake. I am not perfect.

I should have included “the Carters.”

Forgive me.”

************

So this was not fun stuff. Add to that, Carter is expected to lie in State at the Capitol starting on January 6th…. no way is that just a coincidence.

I LOVED this!! The Guardian Angels were incredible back in the 80s.

From Charlie Ward’s newsletter:

“…global temperatures are now plummeting, and oceans are cooling at an astonishing rate. In the U.K., 2024 is set to mark the second consecutive year of declining temperatures since the so-called “record” year of 2022.

The BBC, among others, recently pushed alarmist claims of record-breaking ocean temperatures, supposedly driven by climate change. Yet, just months later, global sea temperatures have dropped dramatically—down 0.5°C, back to 2015 levels. This rapid cooling, particularly in the Pacific, signals the likely return of a natural La Niña cooling phase, further debunking the endless scaremongering by climate activists.

Meanwhile, land temperatures are also showing signs of decline, as satellite records reveal notable monthly drops. Yet, the usual suspects continue to dismiss natural variations, preferring to pin every weather fluctuation on human activity. Conveniently ignored are explanations like El Niño, reduced cloud cover, and solar activity, all natural factors influencing the recent warming spike….”

From Real Raw News:

“Justice Juan Merchan Executed at GITMO

Deep State Judge Juan Merchan has become the latest cabalist executed at Guantanamo Bay without first having had a military tribunal. On December 23, Merchan was taken from his cell and brought before a cadre of military brass that had gathered at the gallows to bid him farewell.

As reported previously, US Navy JAG investigators apprehended Merchan at his home in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York, informing him that he was being held to account for a bevy of high crimes, including treason, seditious conspiracy, and defrauding the United States. {…}’

How we got to here… always interesting:

From Mike King’s Anti-NY Times:

“How the Span-Am War Changed History

High School history fables taught us that the Spanish-American War of 1898 was a meaningless war instigated by the Yellow Journalist William Randolph Hearst. {…}

[…]The Globo-Zionist crime gang was not nearly as entrenched among the American elite as it is today, but the pernicious influence of the New World Order was indeed growing fast. Money Masters such as Jacob Schiff, John D Rockefeller, Rothschild front-man JP Morgan and others were already on board with the Globalist movement; as were media moguls like Adolph Ochs (NY Times), and the aforementioned Hearst and Pulitzer. America’s potential as a global ‘hit-man’ for the N.W.O. was not lost upon these One Worlders, particularly in regard to establishing a menacing naval presence from which the emerging U.S. bully could influence the affairs of Asia. Thus was born the idea for the first “Asian pivot” – the theft of the Spanish colonies of Guam and the Philippines. […]

I leave you with this!

I was looking for a CD to play in the kitchen this morning, and I re-discovered a CD compilation that Peitor Angell had made for me about 14 years ago(!!). He had titled it “Marilyn’s Medicine” and I recalled that he had recorded it to lift my spirits.

I thought to myself; I wonder if this is still my medicine? So I put it in the CD player and immediately my heart just soared, gang. It’s all songs by female French singers from the 1960s.

Here is the first song on the CD. I just love this song and I had forgotten about it. ‘La petite maison bleue” by Dalida. (“The little blue house”). Gorgeous. Give it a listen and see if it lifts your spirits, too, gang! Okay. Enjoy.

Well, the “news” is still really quiet out there . So I don’t have anything to post regarding that.

Although I want to wish a belated happy birthday to Lt. General Mike Flynn (Dec. 24th).

***************

The holidays are essentially over for me. At least that “holiday mindset” is over. I’m just focused on work now, and on getting back to “normal”…

This morning, I had my first phone chat with Sandra since November. We are now officially back to work on “The Guide to Being Fabulous”!! So I feel really hopeful that this will pull me past the slump of missing my dad so much during Christmas. And get me back on track with the rest of my life.

I hope everyone out there has had a great time celebrating, or meeting up with family and friends — however you spend the days surrounding Christmas. I know that for many people, it was just a really weird Christmas this year. I know that I’m already looking forward to next Christmas being a whole lot better.

Meanwhile….

I don’t have to go to my shift until this evening, so I’m getting stuff done around the house today.

Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!
