Grim

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Facebook is once again saying it's going to close out "Classic FB," and Fiorella is devastated. She has problems enough with electronics, and now they want her to have to mess with something new.
     ANGER! ANGER! ANGER!Will her life ever be "normal" again? Will she ever get a chance to finish off Lolly's story and the other masterpieces still resting on her shelves? Will she ever paint again? Or play the piano? Or write songs? Or learn languages? is she eternally saddled with cleaning up after Husband's death?
*
Daughter spent a couple of hours on the phone with Mac straightening out Fiorella's
passwords, etc. She was also able to get Fio fixed up with Amazon, but your girl is bewildered by the way books are advertised now. Tattooed male models with their nostrils flared and their pants half unzipped leave her cold.
*
Switching to politics, Fiorella is enraged by Trump's attempt to steal the election by diddling around with the Post Office. She hopes the fraud charges New York is hitting him with will stick and he'll be locked up for whatever miserable life he has left.
*
Pulling old newspapers out of dark corners, Fiorella came upon the coverage of the mass murder in which her nephew was killed so many years ago, and she cried yet again. Why, why, why?
 *
That's all that Fio has to say
In fact, she's full of gloom today
The moving, the politics, the computer, the weather
Have her on too tight tether
