Depression, Neighbor, Fireworks, Deportation, Time Warp

Fio's been sort of down lately. It's like every time she's turned around, there's another battle she has to fight. Well, she finally won out over Ameritrade and has settled her finances so now she's going to go after the Georgetown County Commissioners, the ones who chopped down her oaks. Yes, she's gathered together all her notes and has started to compose the letter.

As Fiorella and Sonia Dog were on their way home from a trip to Panera, Fiorella spotted her neighbor-to-the-north out in her yard and pulled over to the side to talk to her, THANK YOU, GOD! It turned out that talking to someone was exactly what Fio needed to get her out of her doldrums. It's hard living in total isolation. Sonia dog is sweet, but not much of a conversationalist.

By the way, that BUY ONE GET FIVE FREE fireworks stand, the one down the road from Fiorella that she immortalized  in one of her romances, is now AMERICAN FIREWORKS--although every item in it was made in China.
*
Soooo--now Trump has postponed his planned deportation of thousands of undocumented immigrants for two weeks. Fio hopes that gives all of them time to put up barricades or make escape plans. Remember, the Pilgrims weren't documented either.

This is so weird, but Fio woke up yesterday morning thinking it was Saturday until she picked up her newspaper, which included the colored funnies and was dated SUNDAY. It really shook her because she remembered watching Colbert the previous night, which meant she must have lost a whole day. When she mentioned the situation to her neighbors-to-the-south, they, who apparently don't take the paper, assured her she was right in the first place. It was Sunday.
