Trump Disrespects The Women's Gold Medal Team!

The president (I can't bring myself to capitalized president because he is so unworthy of the title) disrespected the women's gold medal team when he said and I quote: “I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team — you do know that.” If they weren’t invited, the president said, “I do...

USA MEN'S HOCKEY TAKES THE GOLD!

I set my alarm because I did not want to miss a second of the gold medal game. It ended up being the best hockey game I've every seen and I watch more than a 100 games a year. Connor Hellebuyck was a magacian in the net. The onslaught by Canada was relentless. He stopped 41 of 42 shots. This was one... Sign in to see full entry.

In the 3rd period with 15 minutes left in the game Slovakia scored. Then USA scored another goal by Brady Tkachuk making it 6-1.... Sign in to see full entry.

USA, USA, USA, USA, GOLD IN HOCKEY! USA, USA!

What a stressful game. Canada owned the the U.S. team today. They got our team out of rhythm for nearly the entire game. If it had not been for excellent goal tending the U S would be wearing silver medals. The U S team was terrible at spacing, their passing was alway a tad long, their defense was...

Relaxing Day For Me. Chores, Puzzle and Exercises!

I stayed home again today. My daughter was going to spend most of the day in the salon. I knew she would need to rest between appointments due to her nausea and it's easier to do that when no one is around. She called earlier in the morning and it kind of freaked me out because she usually sends a... Sign in to see full entry.

Crazy When I Let Things Own Me!

I stayed home today because my daughter had a color scheduled. Thankfully she only had two appointments because her nausea is still quite awful. She has made up her mind to power through it whenever possible. I am so thankful she has a fantastic husband. You find out how much you are loved and... Sign in to see full entry.

Early this morning I got a text from my youngest son. Accompanying the text was a picture of a commerative coin. He was awarded the coin for excellence in emergency preparedness and homeland security. He took over the agency around 9 months ago. The agency had been in disarray for nearly 4 decades....
