karmicdragonflyThere were protests in all 50 states today. So I went to our local one -- small, probably 300ish people. I'm not much of a chanter, although I could get into 'Stop the coup'. But I am glad I went.
I hadn't ridden a city bus in 17 years! I didn't want to try to find parking downtown, so I drove to another area and caught our rapid transit bus, and I was impressed. Arrives frequently, stops at every stop on the route, has its own travel lanes, and it got me downtown very quickly. Also free to ride.
Of note though was that the (presumably homeless) woman who sat next to me was having a full on conversation with some unknown other. But she seemed harmless, sort of like the guy who used to live under the bridge going into our local park.

My mom has been very sick but wouldn't go to the doctor. My sister finally convinced her to at least go to the doctor, and she tested positive for bacterial pneumonia. She has been getting weaker and weaker, couldn't hold food nor antibiotic down, but refused to go to the hospital.
She relented tonight, so she is in a hospital near me. She is not well. Glad she allowed my sister to take her to the hospital.
I FaceTimed with her and my sister tonight for maybe a minute, just to wish her a good night's sleep.
Earlier today, I changed my phone wallpaper to roses because she loves roses. (And she instilled that love into both me and my sisters).
