Today Trump ended the partial shut-down! He stopped it until mid February and then will decide if he wants to start it up again to force his wall down the nation's throat. I'm really hoping that our legislators can come up with something to make it so that a politician can't shut down the government any time he gets a wild hair up his ass.
As we left, they gave me food because they know that our family is one of the families that are scooped up in the shut-down frenzy.
I was sick last night, dealing with my diabetes problems, and didn't get up at a timely fashion this morning. So biscuits didn't get done until late today and I was slow and tired all day. I spent a lot of time on Twitter and my knitting today. I'm still working on wash cloths so I can get enough made up to sell.
In the mean time, I am keeping busy with my baking for homeless and my knitting and crocheting. I went to a meeting yesterday with the republican PCO for the district to hear what he wants to offer our group. He discussed how the Republican party can contribute and we, even though I don't think any of us were republican and some of us are pretty much resisters to the president's term right now, listened without being too militant. It got a little weird at times, with him telling us how he tried to donate toys to the "Wear it Out" clothing closet and the Pastor of the church that runs it threw them back at him and told him to leave. He told us that he had received death threats that had kept him up at night. He is alarmed at the way people are treating him, even though he realizes that most people blame the president for the Shut-down that has sent 800,000 workers in the US home without pay for over a month. We commiserated with him, but didn't know much of what to tell him. We did let him know that we would except his help as long as it didn't advertise for any political party.

Because I started so late, and because we were in the mind to celebrate that Michelle will be heading back to work on Monday, we ordered pizza and relaxed tonight. We drove John to work and then came back and just lounged about being lazy. I'm really relieved and pleased to get back to our regular routine and I look forward to giving out my baking tomorrow.
