All I know is to water them once a week or so but never, never let them stand in water. And as a result, they bloom!<br /><br />Yes, the Washington situation is f*cked. (As is the London situation.)

He is a liar, a tax evader, a failed businessman, a bully, a draft dodger, a misogynist, a sex pest, a racist, a pretender and a climate change denier. You may be able to add other items to this list. How on earth can such a man be The President of the USA? He makes George W. Bush look like Jesus of Nazareth.

He said if he had met earlier I would have had a C-section, because my baby was so big. My son was 9lbs and he was my smallest baby. So much for that theory.<br /><br />I liked seeing Megan Markle this morning in a nice outfit, still looking pregnant because women still look pregnant after they give birth, for the most part. Good on her.<br /><br />I don't know how republicans can look at themselves in the mirror and not feel ashamed.

Everything else sucks, pretty much......and is way too depressing. I want to bury my head in a pillow at times. BUT.......my white phaelenopsis orchid, that got mangled beyond belief in our big earthquake 10 years ago....(yes, I've been tending to it and pampering fit or 10 years)..........is blooming too! Yippee! It is similar to yours........white....with lavender undertones. My 10 years has paid off....as has your TLC.

It's horrifying and infuriating and baffling all at once. And average people are so ANGRY. All the time. It's no wonder--this presidency is pushing everyone's stress levels through the roof. All I can say is we have to try to look out for each other as best we can.<br /><br />I hope you feel better tomorrow, sweet Mary.
