Right As Rain

I slept ten hours last night and woke up feeling as healed as someone who'd been slammed by a Pentecostal preacher who had the strength and healing power of vipers, Jesus, and the need to pay the rent. 
Praise the Lord! 

We finally got a little rain here today. It drizzled and dripped for at least three hours on and off and although it wasn't nearly enough, it wet the earth and made the plants open up their curling leaves and cleaned the air around us. It also gave me permission to stay in and be cozy and do what I wanted to do which was to have a very calm and very quiet day, entertaining myself with the endless jigsaw puzzle and my jacket patching. While I sewed, I watched a few more episodes of a series that one of you (who?) recommended called "Platonic." It, too, has Seth Rogan in it and it is vastly different than "The Studio" which I wrote about a few weeks ago. I'm enjoying it. The basis of the series is that a cis man and a cis woman can be platonic friends- thus the title. And I get that. I have had male friends whom I adored and shared so much of my life with and was cared for so much by them, just as I cared for them, but it is rare, I think, especially after marriages and children. And I think the series gets a lot of that right. The way the two friends can say anything to each other and not have it taken the wrong way and who are so close that they are absolutely there for each other, no matter what. The way a trust bond forms which is as strong and true as any bond can be. 
Well. Almost and until the day they can't and it isn't, which is how it has happened in my life. 
But that hasn't happened yet in the episodes of this series I've watched yet, if in fact it does happen. Or...will they realize they've always been in love? 
Uh. Just the thought of that in my own experience makes me feel a little nauseous but again-that's just how it has been for me. 

I just wrote an entire in-depth review of the series as I see it and you know what? Who the hell cares? I deleted it all. Watch it if you want to, don't if you don't. But let me say that Rose Byrne, the female lead, is a pretty dynamic actress who does not hold back.

The man who claims to be the president of the United States has responded to the massive protests which occurred yesterday, not only in the United States but all over the world, by posting videos with an AI version of himself wearing a crown, piloting a fighter jet with "King Trump" emblazoned on it, dumping shit on protestors in Times Square in NYC. And JD Vance posted one of an AI version of Trump putting on a crown, pulling a royal cloak around his shoulders, and brandishing a sword as people like Nancy Pelosi bow down to his royal AssHoliness. 
No. I am not posting links. 

If Congress doesn't implement the 25th amendment, Section 4, the entire history of the United States of America proves to be nothing but a fever dream in the minds of those we call our founding fathers. 

Mr. Moon will be home tomorrow night. Although I have not felt the need to bring Dorothy Anne to bed with me, I will be so glad to have him back. I have to give Maurice a lot of credit for keeping me company, keeping me feeling as if I am not alone in the least. 

She was following me outside when I watered the porch plants. She has slept with me every night although she hasn't always been waiting when I came to bed. She has come into the bedroom in the deepest dark hours and jumped up on the bed to find her place beside me, cuddled in and settled. I have slept all the sounder for her presence. 

Love...Ms. Moon
