Thursday Thoughts - hark! I have some.

1. I worked from home Wednesday. Even though I started earlier and finished later than normal, it was bliss: a quiet house and time for french press coffee on a weekday is something I can never say no to.

2. The house was quiet in part because MFD has been out in North Dakota since Monday. A big ass blizzard shut down the highways and airports for over 48 hours, but he finally made it to Standing Rock yesterday. Here's Day One of his journey, and Day Two of his hotel stay, LOL. Day Three he finally made it to Bismarck to buy supplies and deliver them to Standing Rock. I spoke to him last night and he was so happy to be there. Sometimes when you set out to do something for others, what ends up benefitting the most is your own soul. Bottom pics are some of his from yesterday.

3. I've missed him, of course, but the fact that the dining room table has been clear and I have not happened upon this in days has been nice in his absence.

Not my pic but lord, how appropriate

4. I'm sure the dogs miss him, but not as much as they like sleeping on his side of the bed.

5. I like working from home because I am more productive overall both with work work and with laundry. I got both couches totally washed and reassembled with Christmas pillow covers. I also ordered new throw pillows because mine are old and flat.

6. Seasonal goal friends, the link up for Winter Goals and to report in on your fall goals if you'd like is next Friday, December 16 with me & Sara from Journey of Doing. I hope you can join us! A goal graphic will be available next week.

7. Hey, so do you guys remember how Ben Carson ran for president in the primaries? Yeah, since then he has said he's not capable of running a government agency. Like, hello? First of all, he did not realize that as President of the United States of America he'd basically be overseeing ALL government agencies? He never thought about that before he ran? Good fucking god, what a perfect time to be a moron in this country. You can be one and other people still want you on their presidential cabinet. To review: Ben Carson has zero experience with anything to do with housing but is up for HUD Secretary for trump's cabinet; he believes that Joseph built the pyramids in Egypt as granaries, not as tombs for pharaohs; he believes being gay is a choice; and finally, he is fucking insane. I do not want someone who thinks pyramids stored grain in charge of anything structural or residential in this country.
