Well, you've read the notes, the notes vacuumed the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the vacuuming cows come home.

About thirty minutes ago, I remembered that at noon I have a Zoom meeting abut the ballet. I've been so preoccupied with the Encores! work I might have missed it.

Last night, somewhere between 9:30 and midnight, I had the most terrifying dream. What made it really terrifying is that I still don't know if it was a dream. I went to bed around 8:00 and set the alarm for 5:00. It's too warm in the apartment and I'm sleeping poorly, but I did sleep for about an hour. When I woke, I could not get back to sleep. so I decided to ret a new sleeping position lying on my back. I checked the alarm: 9:15PM. I turned off the light ad lay on my ack in the dark, drifting in and out of sleep. Then, something black, not a human, lying beside me rose up and covered me, smothering me, then it pulled away. After a bit, the same thing happened again. Then, after a bit of time, something grabbed my leg and began to pull me off the bed while I struggled. And I woke ande turned on the light, The cock said it was just ca little after midnight. I was so rattled by the whole thing that I immediately called for Thatch and Stella. Stella hopped into bed with me, and I remember,ber no more dreams of last night, only that I slept veru poorly.

I spent the entire evening on MSNOW watching the discussions about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. I watched that video of the shooting many times, and I remain outraged by the lies and false information being tooted by the White House and that lying bitch Kristi Gnome, who is a complete disgrace.

DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream could indicate you are fighting against what may seem to be overwhelming circumstances in many areas of your life.

Being overwhelmed emotionally can sometime lead to physical difficulties - so deal with each day and each problem ONE AT A TIME.

I definitely don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome. What I have is Trump Fatigue.

That sounds right.

Good morning.

I think Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn't mean what they think it means.

Laura · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:41:24 AM »

In my opinion, of course.

Laura · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:42:29 AM »

TOD: I rarely drink. I don't bar. I do on very rare occasions enjoy a little bit of white or pink wine. And canned margaritas.

Laura · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:43:33 AM »

I get very anxious when we are towing the camping trailer. We've found that a canned margarita calms me down a great deal.

Laura · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:44:43 AM »

And I take a one-serving sized bottle of wine when I go to the conference. I enjoy that in the motel room after the conference.

Laura · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:46:46 AM »

I had a six-pack of said canned margaritas when we went camping with the preacher and his family. I saved one for the drive home, and the preacher and I enjoyed the rest. Before the rest of the church folks arrived, of course.

The last time I was in a bar was at Disneyland -- Oga's Cantina. We had very expensive fruit juice.

Laura · « **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:48:41 AM »

The time before that was in Palm Springs with DRs Kerry and my daughter. And Jason G. and his husband. She had a cherry coke, Kerry had something non-alcoholic, and I had a cup of coffee.

Laura · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:49:22 AM »

And my daughter and I were outed as lesbians.

Laura · « **Reply #21 on:** January 08, 2026, 05:49:56 AM »

Ok. I tried to make up for DR Vixmom's inability at the moment to post long stories.

I’m sitting in a portable waiting for the kids to come in. There are no lesson plans, no notes. And it’s a day of algebra 1 and 2.

John G. · « **Reply #25 on:** January 08, 2026, 06:37:25 AM »

I don’t think they’re getting much outta me today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** January 08, 2026, 06:37:34 AM »

That's one HELL of a night, DR Elmore.

Not that mine was a lot better, I've got plenty of crap going on.

May this day turn it all around, or at least bring improvements.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** January 08, 2026, 06:38:20 AM »

No plans, no notes... ?

I hope DR John G. is up on his algebra.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #28 on:** January 08, 2026, 06:39:19 AM »

You folks are better than me at being able to watch the news. I can take very little of it these days.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #29 on:** January 08, 2026, 06:40:24 AM »

Note to self: Keep canned margaritas around, you never know when the minister might need one. Or a few.
