So far, it’s looking like my schedule is going to be somewhat manageable for the month of December — even though I have to work on ALL of the holidays!! Aaarrrgggh.
However, you know, just because it’s Christmas or New Year’s Eve, doesn’t mean that the housebound elderly are suddenly completely okay….
Before I forget! I need to post about this.
That really sweet 99-year-old blind lady that I am a caregiver for — I was with her yesterday, and we were talking about her life, as we always do. (Her mind is completely sharp, the only problem she has is that she is legally blind.)
And this astounded me:
The lady’s one and only grandchild was born when the lady was 71 years old, and by then she had been a widow for 21 years. And since her grandchild lived far away, the lady decided that the best way to get to know her grandchild would be to take family trips together as the child was growing up.
So — in the course of the next 25 years, after which the lady began to go blind, but she was already 96 years old(!!) — she had visited 52 countries with her grandchild.
Isn’t this just incredibly inspiring, gang?? Wow. To start traveling overseas when you’re 71, and then visit 52 countries by the time you’re 96. Wow.
And here over in my world, it’s a huge deal to be able to get back to NYC, which is only 500 miles from here, and only takes 1 hr and 20 minutes to fly there, and only about 9 hours by car…
Anyway!! It’s nice to think that when I’m 71 (a mere 7 years from now), worldwide travel might suddenly become incredibly doable. We shall see!

I loved this. Dan Scavino posted it yesterday:
I’m telling you, gang, Q stuff is everywhere now. They are being so blatant about it!

On a similar note.
From Mike King’s Anti-NY Times newsletter:
“Q Operatives Sweep CIA, FBI, DOJ and DNI
…The unabashed “conspiracy theorist” and very Q-ish Trump loyalist Kash Patel will complete a Q Trifecta of White Hat leaders set to head each of the key agencies which once formed the core of the formerly fearsome three-headed Deep State dragon.
As Patel takes the reigns at the FBI; “far right” Q-approved John Ratcliffe will lead the CIA; and military gal / “Russian agent” / “isolationist” Tulsi Gabbard — who had so capably infiltrated and subverted the WEF and the Demonrat Party –will be the Director of National Intelligence overseeing all of America’s intelligence agencies.
The “Editorial Board” here at The Anti-New York Times sniffed the “Democrat” Gabbard out as Q operative years ago. In the cases of Ratcliffe and Patel, the legendary scent-detection abilities of the late great St. Sugar the Crazed Conspiracy Cat were not needed because Q himself (or themselves) dropped their names long before they rose to soon-to-be heads of the CIA & FBI respectively.

Regarding the fake Bidens and the “pardon” — since both of them have been dead for awhile now, I’m guessing it’s just another psy-op to wake people up.
But on that note, I thought this was interesting–
From News Treason Channel 17:

And from ULTRA Pepe Lives Matter:
“Hunter and Joe Biden are complicit in horrific crimes in Ukraine. Ukraine is subservient to the CIA and a prime location for money laundering for swamp creatures. This is the truth.
Ukraine was overthrown by the CIA and a puppet administration was implemented that would work to further their criminal intentions. Joe Biden, Pelosi, Romney, and McCain all got their hands in the Ukraine cookie jar. We the People are awake to the scam.

And in other news!
Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File this morning, where he gives some beautiful advice to someone whose father is dying. He says, in part:
“I can’t think of a more poignant and binding act than to be able to laugh together in this most tragic of circumstances. The thing that you don’t need in this dynamic is guilt. Dispense with it. You have nothing to feel guilty for….”

And our Daily Feature continues!
What Would Keith Richards Do?
This was interesting, in light of a post I made about Keith and the topic of family recently.
This time, the topic is MUSIC & CREATIVITY, and of course it comes from Chapter Five: Daily Affirmations.
Keith says:
“I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all of the time. It’s the only constant thing in my life. It’s the one thing you can count on.”
So, I guess let’s just keep this in mind, shall we? If we’re tempted to get married or have some children — put on a Rolling Stones record instead!! I know I do…

Okay!! That’s it for now. I am possibly going to attempt to put up the Christmas tree today. We shall see how that goes.
Meanwhile–
Enjoy your Monday wherever you are in the world!!
Thanks for visiting, gang.
I love you guys. See ya!
