EPIPHANY is recognized on January 6th. The Wisemen found the Christ Child presenting him gifts. How wonderful. What a sight to behold. A blessed time in history remembered today. Fast forward to 2021. I caught myself writing 2020 on a check. I caught myself then corrected my error.
I need a nap. Last night lacked restful sleep as my Husband had prepped himself for a colonoscopy today. Little sleep and up early to get around for his medical procedure. I waited in the car while he had this medical procedure. Thumbing through some magazines my time was well spent. Hubby did well and we got a good report. Praise the Lord.
He was hungry so off to Starbucks we went for some fud. He got his coffee and I had green tea. Still staying within 1200 calories a day, I am working at staying close to this count by the end of the day. So far so good.
My breakfast meal was in the neighborhood of 500 whopping calories. I enjoyed every bite, but was surprised when looking up the calories of this breakfast sandwich after the fact of eating it. Off to the bank, over to Target to pick up some pencil pouches, quickly off to a DownTown Upscale Flower Shop to see what clearance sales were going on, over to Menards to pick up some more storage boxes plus some gold chain for a chandy we will hang.
Was tired when I got HOME. Television came on to see what was happening in the world. Especially the January 6th count of the Electoral votes. I am beyond disappointed by our Commander and Chief tweeting that VP Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.
VP Pence shared earlier that he did not have the power to overturn the electoral votes.
On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence wrote a letter to Congress. In the letter he does not have the "unilateral authority" to throw out states' electoral votes.
VP Pence was honoring and protecting our Constitution when he acknowledged that he did not have the power to overturn the vote. For President Trump to say Vice President wasn't protecting the Constitution is a huge ding in Trump's character. VP Pence did exhibit courage and dignity to support the Constitution against the will of the President that wants to overthrow the Electoral Vote.
Assault against the Constitution. From the ellipse OUR President incited violence. Insurrection. Watching people turn into a angry mob storming the Capitol Building gave cause to place it in lock down. Mob Rule stormed the Capitol. A angry mob breached the Senate Chambers saying they would burn the Electoral votes. ARMED RIOTERS.
I love my Country and I am aware that we have a powerful Constitution that I want to support. So this day is very memorable. Democracy will triumph.

Great to hear your hubby had good news from his procedure, that's always a sigh of relief. I think it's great your staying with your diet, keep up the good work. Maybe I'll get inspired. :)
Hello Mary. We were relieved that he checked out alright. Relieved.
So glad your hubby had good results.
For some reason this quote has been on my mind this week..."the only way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing".
Thankful for those good men and women like Brad Raffensberger who stood up for truth. Pence surprised me, and I would call him a good man after all.
Hi Kathy. I was thankful Brad Raffensberger stayed firm with Trump. The phone conversation allowed a first hand glimpse into how Trump spins.
