Thursday Thoughts - now she can't be that warm with the wind in her arms

1. I am well on my way to becoming the eccentric old lady I was born to be in this cold but pretty winter.

2. IF we were going to deify any sort of medication, Elderberry Syrup is the way, the truth, and the light. I take it in water every day all year. I was off it from Christmas Eve on and by NYE I was feeling terrible. New batch, double dose for three days, now I'm much better. It does not get rid of snot but it does help you feel run over by a small car instead of a mack truck. Seriously I rarely get sick, and taking this daily is why. For me it's less effective as a cure than a preventative.

3. The Goldbergs. I freaking love it like everyone who knows me told me I would.

4. The next Show Us Your Books is Tuesday. That came up fast, no? I finished a book last night and started another but I don't know if it'll last.

5. Meanwhile, in Dog Town...Mae hates the entire world and everyone in it due to the weather. Gus's age shows more and more. Bruce is so full of energy and naughty but also funny and so cute.

6. The President: A Dangerous Idiocy. The North Korea tweet shows his complete lack of foreign policy, diplomacy, and restraint. Posturing over big buttons for your nuclear weapons? Nuclear taunting is what insecure little dictator men do, not capable and powerful presidents of the United States of America. Wait... The other tweets are a domestic terror. NOT NORMAL. RESIST.

7. In the aftermath of #MeToo - #TimesUp. The clock has run out on sexual assault, harassment, and inequality in the workplace. I signed the solidarity letter and donated Tuesday. Read the NYT article here. Ladies and allies - we cannot say we want things to be different and not commit to being a part of the change.
