Oh, I’m not the girl I was or used to be. Uh, bitch, I might be better

It’s a very very quiet and gray day out there. I mean, it’s totally silent out there. Maybe a cheep for some birds, but no other sounds out there this morning. It’s eerie out there. Very Invasion of the Body Snatchers. But I’m up, mostly dressed, and almost ready to…

Good morning. It’s been a somber morning here as I watched the procession travel up the royal mile from Holyroodhouse to St. Giles Cathedral. I’m still entranced but the military precision that they have. I switched from NBC News Now to Euro News, because they felt the need to let…
