I moved to the opposite side of the US. My family members are adults and they can take responsibility for themselves. My siblings who don't take me seriously about what our parents are facing can figure it out. I will not pass this pressure on.

There's a lot talk about the burdens of eldest daughters. I'm an eldest daughter. My siblings kept telling me I would have to take care of our parents. My dad tried to give me the house I grew up on. I said no to both. /1 #eldestdaughter

The first library book I read.

Oh that doesn't sound good.

He was concerned about my heart rate and taught me how to breath to bring it down. It was over 80 because I'd been walking. He was so proud of me when it got down to 72. Honestly, it was the sweetest thing and just what I needed. Positive vibes restored. Kudos to his parents! /2

I went to the Verizon store today. While I waited, David (age 5) decided we were friends and talked to me for several minutes. His parents were nearby. He was intrigued by my Fitbit and wanted to know about all the numbers.

Your explanation on the tariffs got me thinking about Executive Orders.
We're seeing the same pattern with the EOs to threaten law firms who are representing against his interests. As soon as they pledge not to do that and do pro bono work for his government he backs off and cancels the EO.

I hope he puts that old racist wind bag's record in. the. ground.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov

Keep calling. Our reps say they hear more from Republicans than Democrats on issues. We out number them and need to keep calling.

The 5Calls app makes it easy to call and gives suggested scripts on different issues.

I was stationed in Meridian, Mississippi in the early 90s. They were still feeling the effects of those events.

Enter wearing Ukrainian colors and as he lies walk out one by one. Leave posters at your seats saying LIE every time someone walks out so observers know what's happening and why.

And then I'll come back and haunt them.

Yep. And I usually delay delivery for a few weeks.

Red cabbage (raw) and everything bagel hummus. Game changer for ny snacking. Sooo good!

A stack of books with a dragon guarding them.

You're going to go through life reading books that you didn't like. That doesn't mean it's a bad book, it just means it wasn't for you.

They survived. The oysters did not.

We're visiting my parents for the holidays. My husband and my dad are finally opening the live oysters my brother sent my dad for Christmas last weekend. Fingers crossed they are safe. This could be an adventure... #christmasinutah

Lunar halo and Jupiter shining bright last night.

Ours has a 3-D printer. You can sign up to use it in the Library!

Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, DC Christmas tree made my heart happy last night. I love looking up through lighted trees.

Duolingo knows my family.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie. (Not my pic but it made me laugh.)

So this happened over the weekend... obviously, I don't know my own strength. 💪🏻

My blind grandmother counted audiobooks as reading. And so did we as read/listened with her.

Scene from my yard today. I love fall and today was a perfect fall day. Not too cold and not too warm. I finally cleaned out flower beds and spread mulch. I also planted some cold weather plants. A good day.

The Library of Congress is the most beautiful building in DC. The best DC souvenir is getting your very own LOC library card.

Can we put it across from the main gate of Joint Base Andrews home of Air Force One? Cause I would donate to that.
