Donald Trump must be beside himself today.

Yesterday, his name was put into nomination for Speaker of the House by Florida Rep. Matt (loudmouth) Gaetz, a Congessman who has done nothing in Congress but cause disruption.

Nevertheless, Trump got one vote in three rounds of voting yesterday.

That makes him a three-time LOSER for a job that, should Biden and Harris be removed from office, would see him become president.  Yes, the Speaker of the House is 2nd succession to the presidency should catastrophe beset the president and vice president.

Think on that if you need a good chilling moment or two.

It is a chilling thought about the importance of who is the speaker of the house.  I don't understand how Trump can even qualify to be nominated.

I do not know what is on my agenda for today.

I do not actually HAVE an agenda, but there are things I could do!

I find the roll calls for speaker of the House to be far more amusing than cleaning, washing and dusting.

;D

I think a new season of RuPaul's Drag Race starts on MTV tonight.

Somehow those two belong in one post.

The day outside is beautiful.

Inside, it's lazy and disorganized.  Appropriate for a retiree's Friday.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep thanks to spam calls on the cell phone, which is usually on silent but wasn't.

Up from a nap (surprise! Surprise!). This is the first time after rising that I could make a fist on my own without using the other hand to start bending the forefinger.

Of course they had the elephant stamps I purchased, and on display along with other stamps.

Futzed and finessed for ninety minutes and was thankfully okay with yesterday's writing - I did make several deletions, moved an entire section to where it made more sense, and made several additions. I've written five new pages beyond that and made an important style decision that I now have to go back and implement and that will take a couple of hours. But I'll finish today's writing before I do that.
