Waxing Gibbous

Who came up with that?
Hey, I like it!
Reminds me of gibbon monkeys
and the Brothers Gibb
Big goofy shining white
Expectant blob with a promise
Waning Gibbous sounds like a country singer name

Mueller Time

https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download

13 Russian Nationals indicted in Mueller investigation on charges related to meddling in US elections
The Internet Research Agency, operating out of St. Petersburg, was described in the indictment as a hub for a sophisticated operation designed to reach millions of Americans to disrupt the political process in the United States. Its annual budget was millions of dollars; its stated goal was to “spread distrust toward the candidates and the political system in general.” 
The goal of the Russian operation, which was dubbed the “translator project” and began in 2014 with a monthly budget of $1.25 million, was “information warfare against the United States,” the indictment alleges.  
-from NYT article.  This is where your money is going, dear True Russians.




xl Blue Persuasion



This meditation video kinda helped my throat chakra.  The blue and the font remind me of Bewitched and Disney Cinderella for some reason.  I really like the silky blue light and the singing bowls.  Some of the words were good too, some of them a little unsettling.  Faith.  I have a hard time with that word, I guess because I relate it to religion.  Also, the, thoughts are reality and words are thoughts and words are reality deal really alerted my senses as I, of course, started thinking of Trump.  God!  Anyway, at one point in the video the words- Words create reality, Truth, Wisdom, something like that, I was thinking, what if the words that are creating reality are lies and stupidity?  This is dangerous to human health.  This must not go on any longer.  How can we stop this?

Thanks D*&%  T*!%^& you fucked up my throat chakra!

Fuck the NRA

The NRA is a terrorist organization that is holding the US hostage.  The gun laws outweigh a citizen's right to live.  Fuck you.  BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS. CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM NOW.  NRA should be banned from funding our lawmakers.

"With this sort of firepower, the gunman didn’t even need to have good marksmanship or anything more than a basic understanding of his weapons. All he needed to do was pick up a loaded gun, point it toward the helpless people in the distance and pull the trigger until it was empty, discard the spent rifle and pick up another one."

From this article.

Bess Kalb responds to thoughts and prayers tweets from law makers funded by the NRA.  "God have mercy on your NRA-kept souls"

The certainty of more shootings from 2012

Why a Congressional Ban on Bump Stocks is unlikely from Oct 7, 2017.  A week after our worse mass shooting to date.


A mass shooting increases the number of enacted laws that loosen gun restrictions by 75 percent in states with Republican-controlled legislatures. We find no significant effect of mass shootings on laws enacted when there is a Democrat-controlled legislature.

From Mass shootings don't lead to inaction--The lead to loosening gun restrictions.

We are averaging one school shooting every 60 hours in 2018














When is it going to stop?  
What are we going to do?

To those who solely focus on the 2nd amendment. You have the right to bear arms of 1791 when this amendment was written: Brown Bess, Muskets, Rifles and flintlock pistols. We must ban assault weapons. These are weapons of war.

Trump is already in violation of the oath.

Galactogogue

Otherside nee
Wurse

Those are the nicknames my son and daughter gave for the act of nursing.

It's been a crazy trip.
I really love the closeness and peacefulness that nursing provides.  It ran a little too long for me with both my children, but I'm sure I will look back upon it lovingly.

I do want to know if anyone else experienced a negative personal health aspect to extended nursing.  I mean, in the whole extended nursing realm nearly 2 and 2.5 aren't that long.  I am struggling with I guess anxiety that comes during ovulation and doesn't let up until well after I stop bleeding.  So I get maybe three days?  At least it isn't that bad this time around now that I know it's not something more serious.

day 2-deactivated

We are done. :(  It's a good thing, I know, but I can't help feeling a bit sad about it.  She asked to wurse about 1-2 hours before we normally wake up and I almost gave in because she asked so sweetly, but I thought it was closer to wake up time and said no.  She threw a little fit that made me feel not so bad about saying no.  She just turned her back towards me in disgust. :)
I can feel a spark of freedom, but right now I guess I need to mourn a little.  It's funny because I have been wanting this for the most part.  Especially since my anxiety or hormones or both have been uncontrollable and uncomfortable.  I keep thinking that maybe nursing is causing this feeling.  I guess we shall see, because it doesn't seem to be the copper IUD.
I keep trying to find relief in tinctures and tea, but I think I'm going nowhere with them.  Right now I am trying Ashwagandha, Reishi and Kava tea.  Oh and sage to dry up my milk. 

Crying over dried milk

What am I?
An old woman now?
No more babies, no more nursing
The factory is closed.
I'm crying over dried milk
because
just because
I'm crying over dried milk
cuz those days are done
Crying cuz the mid-life crisis has just begun
I can hold you and rock you, hold you and rock you
until you leave my nest
For now I will cry over my deactivated breasts.

It's time to pacify the pacifiers
Retire what made us all tired

Crying over dried milk
until my freedom soaks in

Galaxias Mamma

I love drinking these things

I love wursing

-Fio age 2.5, sweetly said a week before I take the thing she loves away.  :(

Sunday/Monday is the first night/day of no nursing since she was born.  We are done.  I'm kinda sad right now.
I know I will be happier once it sets in.
