Morning Thoughts Friday 12-6-2024 🌅

Hello (again) dear Reader and good morning (et cetera) where it's 4:31 AM as I sit down to write some random thoughts, as usual. I've been up since about midnight, unfortunately (I constantly have to remind myself to be grateful for waking up at all though). 

God bless the USA. 🇺🇸

It's not lost on me the that previous entries (to this one) - this very week alone! - are very angry and/or complaining in tone; my apologies though I take none of it back. I'm imperfect and will let those entries simply stay where they are. That's why I have to always say: don't look to me because I will fail you (it's merely a matter of time) but look to Christ, the Founder and Finisher of our faith. He will never fail anyone (even if it seems like it sometimes).
So.  

The first thing I did was take the turtle (in fact, Freedom Turtle woke me up now that I think about it - anyway) and put him into a fresh, tepid bath and got him out an hour later. Once out and dry, he ate some of his insect treat and is now sleeping with Terry. 
Not long after waking and figuring that I'm probably up for the day, I went ahead and made coffee (and am currently still drinking). 

My first perfume of the day so far today is Bvlgari Aqva Divina EDP. 

I think it's gorgeous and just adore the combination here of zesty ginger and sweet, juicy quince. 🫚🍑 

Then I played several (political, as usual) videos (and, since they're political, I just won't list those here this time). 

But here are recent Freedom Turtle videos 💖🐢

Now here's a minor, very unimportant irritation:
somehow, I cannot find my bottle of Snowflower:

😭

And here are Snowflower's "notes as voted on":

Orris, water, vanilla, ginger, lily, rose, patchouli, wood - I agree with that assessment (and, I almost always agree with this, 'the notes as voted on' for just about all fragrances). 👍

I'll have more coffee and probably watch more videos now, then shower and all of that. And, being barred from the forum means that I will probably come back and blog again later today (maybe).
Either way, thank you for stopping by, dear Reader, and take care. 😎
