GottaLaff, 1 day ago to Canada

After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! #Canada here we come.

#Hammy loves these long road trips.

First night: Sacramento-ish.

I'm about done in, and I have to still pack.

I'll check in later.

Thanks for all your comments.

NEW #TrumpTrial 🧵starts HERE. #Trump #legal

Remember: I cannot reply while live-posting, so plz use NFL (Not For Laffy.. no hashtag) so I can skip your replies. THANK YOU.

1/… First, via Lawrence O'Donnell:

J.D. Vance was on the phone the entire time. He wasn’t taking in a word of testimony. Tuberville, to his credit, looking straight ahead, taking it all in as best he can, whatever sense he can make of it

I'll live post what I can of the rest of the day's #TrumpTrial, but I'm utterly exhausted.

We've packed up most of the house (moving May 26), which did me in, even though we've gone so slowly. But all the lifting, sorting, etc, takes it out of me regardless.

We're still packing more today, plus a showing, so I'll be in and out.

Thanks for understanding.

Personal update for those who are following my house saga:

Our twins and our agent saw the house. We FaceTimed from Oregon. 👎🏻 Big disappointment. We’ll explore more homes when we get to BC. Not expecting to buy anything this trip.

A personal story about Donald Trump, Marla Maples. The “Carpet King” Bob Shaw, Adolph Hitler and my wife Martha.

I'll be in & out now, so replies/posting minimal:

Today: Dentist, gone in a.m.

Later: Family interested in our house is coming back for a 2nd look.🤞🏼

Tomorrow: Brokers' open house. (Brokers only, checking out the place)

2 wks: Roofer comes, contractor fixes area$$

Meantime, we very well may take an impromptu driving trip to BC on Sunday because there is a really good house our agent alerted us to and we need to see it up close.

(Don't tell Hammy, he loves these trips and he'll go NUTS.)

Long night so far.

A call from my sister just after midnight that she’d taken mum to the hospital.

Been holding bedside vigil while sister goes home and gets some sleep. Doctors running tests and whatnot. Morphine for the pain. Machines that go “bing”.

It’s about 4:30am and mum’s snoring with a plethora of tubes and wires.

Eyes are heavy. Chair is uncomfortable. The nurses showed me where I could make a cup of coffee for myself.

I'm back at my computer. #EJeanCarroll #Trump #legal 🧵 starts here. 1/...

(Painters slowed me down. I'm catching up...patience)

Via InnerCityPress aka Press:

Habba: My client & I wish to pt out Ms Carroll can sit in front of jurors every day. But my client has to choose between attending his mother in law's funeral--
Judge Kaplan: I have ruled. Sit down
Habba: I don't like to be spoken to that why. Please refrain. I am asking for an adjournment for a funeral.
Judge Kaplan: Denied. Sit down

Okay, so I'm going to type out a sentence, and I want you all to finish it, but instead of doing deep thinking about it, just type the very first thing that pops into your head. I know this will be hard for many of you, but try it! LOL

If I could do whatever I wanted to right now, I would _________.

Beautiful man ferns on my bush walk today. We are blessed with many fantastic walks like this here in Tassie.

I started with nothing, and still have most of it left.

This is #SteephillCove on the #IsleofWight

My husband took this shot on Sunday afternoon during a brief respite from the rain. It was great to get out for walk despite the weather.

This photo is a rarity as he's technically very pleased with it, that doesn't happen very often!

Great profile. As it happens @NarrelleMHarris is working with her at the moment, as they're both guests at Terror Australis in Tasmania.

I guess that I should finally introduce myself, tell everyone a bit about me, as many on here have done already. I live in Dublin 15 in Ireland out on the Western edge of Europe, in more privilege than I like to admit, I have a kid, I'm separated but have a wonderful new relationship, I'm a software architect and developer working remotely for a large European organisation, I like computers and information, cycling, animals, prehistoric creatures, photography, games, comics...
