I started reading "Too Much and Never Enough" by Trump's niece, Mary L. Trump. She provides a lot of family background about what she believes formed him into the man he is today.

Among many other interesting things, I learned that he's still unhappy when anyone reminds him of his older brother dumping mashed potatoes on his head when he was seven. Apparently he still hasn't gotten over the insult.

His father always said things were "great" and "perfect" even when they were far from it. His dad also mocked Trump's older brother for apologizing or taking the blame for anything, therefore teaching Trump that apologizing and accepting responsibility are pathetic.

Trying to get my students engaged with Latin. Starting my reread of "Stormlight Archive" to prepare for November (not everything is about election). Listening to Rammstein. Looking "Rome". Trying - and partly failing - to fill a Flying Dutchman with soil for my garden. Looking for the comet. Waiting for my holidays - two weeks, just two weeks to go...

Rereading Neville Goddard's essays. I highly recommend them if anyone is into metaphysics or alternate interpretation of religious scripture. Need to start reading Dion Fortune's novel The Sea Priestess.

Went out to the park with friends, laughed, enjoyed the nice weather, had some Irish coffee. Got a new kitten. She is wild... She tried to chew through my cables, my shoes, my flip flops, the walls. I think she was a dog in a previous life. lol.

Watched Magdalen Berns's videos, she was so funny. planning to watch the series Motherland Fort Salem (it's about witches in the army yo) later this week.

Got some new clothes and shoes for real cheap so super happy about that.

Working on starting my own business in marketing. Er, it's a work in progress. lol

Looking into some herbal medicine info and books online since my mother is sick.
