* So 45 and his lawyers really don't understand how investigations and subpoenas work.

* As you know I find the Stormy Daniels story boring and only care about the bits that may be illegal, and even there it's a sideshow from the much bigger corruption, treason, obstruction of justice things that I mostly focus on. However, there is reason to believe they broke election law, so I am posting this bit.

* Today I had an RL Birthday Dinner for a friend, and after I set up the Auction for this month's non-housing and insurance type bills. (I spent the whole of my SSI except the insurance auto-withdraw on housing and housing tax, because housing is always the most important thing.) I have no hope of raising enough, but there is hope of maybe covering one if I'm lucky. *fingers crossed* Let us hope someone wins more than one auction so I can combine shipping as I only have five new mailers. The auctions are timed for Monday as 11PM-1AM is not a good time for auctions to begin and end in my opinion. I've been saved before by last minute bidding wars.

Livia had never seen me do this activity before, and was convinced at various points that treats must be imminent and came barrelling over in hopes.

I think the car is dying for real. It's getting harder and harder to start. Likely the irreplaceable valve is failing. Sigh. I am trying not to panic, because I'm kind of fucked without a car.

Anyway, the ebay sacrifices are cataloged and packaged. *crosses fingers*
