good news, bad news, and a finished drawing

The good news is, I woke up this morning feeling well. The afib is settling down and I went 38 hours with only a blip here and there, had a minor flare up last night but it quit sometime after I went to bed. So far so good today. I think part of the problem besides too much attention to bad news is that I was dehydrated from working out in the heat and sweating profusely and not drinking enough water to make up for it.

The other good news is that the owner of the python found her. She was in the garage the whole time. A major sigh of relief went up from the neighborhood.

The estate sale at Pam's old house is ongoing, tomorrow being the last day with everything 50% off, then everything that is left will be hauled off and we can get in there to finishing making repairs before the house officially goes on the market next week.

It finally happened, no more access to the legacy version of blogger but it seems two of my three biggest complaints about the new version have been remedied. I tried a test post, copied and pasted two paragraphs into the the new post form and while it did double space the paragraphs, I was able to just delete the second one and it let me drag and drop an image from my desktop instead of have to go through the 6 or 7 steps to post a picture. My third issue was the 'labels' where previously they showed a cloud of all the labels and you could just click on the one you wanted. Now, they don't show any at all but when you type a letter, all the labels that include that letter show up and you have to scroll through them to find the one you want. Still very cumbersome. The rest is just having to get used to the new arrangement of tools. So here's my first post using the new version (which I still don't like).

I'd have more to rage write about if I was allowing myself to get immersed in all things Trump and the destruction of our democracy and it is just snowballing, the more desperate he gets the crazier he and Barr get with Barr musing about charging the governor of Oregon with sedition for allowing the protests there and Trump's attitude that it's only the incompetent blue states that have made our death toll so high (just to be clear, red state Texas is #3 in total deaths, more than California now, falling behind only New York and New Jersey and nearly twice as many cases as New York and second only to California, red state Florida being third), and all the revelations coming out about the actions of his appointees, people quitting left and right and coming forward with the goods. But I'm not going there.

So I spent the day finishing the drawing of the lotus bud.

Here's the photo Linda took.

Well, the dog is reminding me it's her dinner time.

Just back from walking the dog to devastating news. We are truly fucked now. RBG has died and you know McConnell has already broken out the champagne.
