Action!

Odd; I feel a cold coming on -- not sleeping well lately, a bit chilled, and the stomach is a tad rumbly.  On the other hand... I feel pretty awesome.  Work is busy, there is a pile of food pantry stuff to do, and while I am not cleaning the house and putting it back together... that is for tomorrow, as I want to empty the inbox.  

I think my dining room set is falling apart, as a couple of pieces of metal fell off one of my chairs.  I know the thing is as old as I am, and I can use/afford a new one, but... I would rather not have to shop for one now, as I want to concentrate on debt reduction/saving for the next round of home improvements (speaking of, bunch of phone tag today, so this is good).  I also think this is telling me that I need to lose a little weight, or more than a little, but don't we all?

Hard-liner rebellion forces House GOP leaders to scramble for deeper cuts  - POLITICO
Am I missing something, or isn't this why we elected the guy, to cut spending?  All of the brouhaha about cutting spending -- USAID, the DoE, etc. -- is what many GOPs believe in, and the fact that some people are balking on this... well, it seems more than a bit odd.  I mean, for all of the complaints from the chattering classes and the Fourth Estate... many of us are more and more!

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says media can't keep with Trump | Fox News
Dare I say I think she is largely correct?  I mean, for the last four years we had a President who could barely drool and eat ice cream at the same time, and now, when we have a guy who can do many things at once -- or at least empower those to do so -- and a lot of people cannot process all the winning, and/or would prefer to lose.  Long may this continue!

I love the TOC, but today's categories were not in my favor, and my mind was a tad slow, so I only got 36 today.  I thought the final was rather easy, but that is not exactly a tremendous consolation.  Alas.  I did finish up the Games magazine I was working on, so I can now pivot back to the pile of puzzle books from Mom... some day this will end, and I will feel quite sad, but today is not the day.
