4/? facility - one that is not as bad as many I have seen. Every one loves me (hey, I was told that by at least half a dozen of them, so it HAS to be true, right?), except for the kitchen (not surprising, given my celiac, cancer and bossiness, which makes sense, since the first..

5/? words I spoke when my first meal was placed in front of me was, "This shit will kill me faster than my cancer will!" However, over the last 5 weeks or so, it's all kinds settled. One last thought...

6/? I have learned what it feels like to be in COVID quarantine - away from family and other loved ones, watching how hard the staff here works when they short-handed, as well as under a budgetary crunch...

7/? When I first came to Libertyville Manor Extended Living Facility, I was a spoiled brat. However, after about ten days of observation, I now I feel nothing but love and gratitude for the people who care for me here.

8/? I am also close to the youngest person here and have my wits about me (well, except after I've had some Librium and had to extricate myself from being the bride at a Ferengi wedding - don't ask).

9/? I have watched the older ones here, dealing with real pain and fear. The women across from my room who loved classical music and died last week. I miss the soft strains of 'Bolero' and Vivaldi's 'Spring'. I miss the presence of her even though I never even met her.

10/? I have started to pray at night for those in so much fear, pain and loneliness here - staff and resident alike. So, please wear a mask, wash your hands and get your COVID vaccine when it's your turn. I will never forget what COVID taught me during my time here.

Firefighter/EMT on cross examination: It would have been better for the defense lawyer to just pass the witness & sit down without asking any questions.

It’s striking, how much guilt many of the witnesses in the trial of ex-cop Chauvin feel over George Floyd’s death. Chauvin has exhibited no remorse.

"As you watch this, you always want the ending to change. You want to watch the video and one time, have Chauvin take his knee off of George Floyd's neck and it never happens. This is what the jury is seeing" - Joyce Alene w/ Nicolle Wallace

"The only certain takeaway from this is that the Congressman needs a lawyer ... because he's perilously close to incriminating himself, conceding some of the elements of potential crimes, and just running his mouth." Joyce Alene on Matt Gaetz. #TheReidOut

The first time President Obama met with his US Attorneys, he told us, “I appointed you but you don’t serve me. You serve the American people. And I expect you to act with independence & integrity.” None of us ever forgot that.
