From Buttons to Acrostics

Fiorella and friend Paula got together at the last minute yesterday despite both of their busy schedules and exchanged their recent ups and downs. One of the ups was that Fio's DUMP TRUMP buttons seem to be taking off, and tomorrow, she's going to be mailing a dozen of them to Bastrop, a dozen to California, and a dozen to friend Paula.  Why a dozen, you ask--because that how many fit in the post office's free mailing boxes.
       It's frighteningly easy to give the buttons away, as you remember Fiorella discovered when she was in the hospital All you have to do is wear one, and people will comment on it, at which point all you have to say is, "I have extras. Would you like one?"
       Now Fio's afraid she won't be able to keep up with demand. Anyone want to volunteer to help her put DUMP TRUMP buttons together?

Paula showed Fio a a pen-and-ink sketch she had made recently, and Fiorella was quite impressed, not only by Friend's talent, but also that she had used ink, which Fio, being the messy type, studiously avoids.

Yours Truly has a doctor's appointment tomorrow to check up on her recovery regarding her recent hospital stay. Her black eye and purple face seems to be healing (translation: turning yellow), and the goose egg over her left eye is shrinking day by day, but she's still somewhat fragile and is trying to avoid tension and heavy lifting.

The last page of Fio and Husband's 2018 income tax info is ready to be sent to Fiorella's accountant as soon as Son shows Fio how to do it on email, but the info on Husband's car is still on the dining room table, as is the medical power of attorney thing and the automobile registration forms. If this table could talk....

Fio redid the acrostic for the maternal side of her family and will be taking it to Kinko's to be printed today--if she has time and if she doesn't spot another fatal flaw. This will be the last of Fiorella's acrostics for a while. It almost drove her crazy because she decided to not only to use colors to indicate various family lines, but also to separate branches, like a genealogy chart.
