#WhatWentWell: 1. Dropping our dog off for a procedure this morning. Her name was on the welcome board. 2. She had a lump under each “armpit.” Both were non-cancerous lipomas. One was removed, the other was too deep and too big. 3. Tonight’s dinner: Linguini with meatballs and homemade sauce.

#WhatWentWell: 1. Prepping our dog for what we hope will be a minor surgery - removal of a small mass to be biopsied. She’s getting very drowsy. 2. At least 6 new students in our Tai Chi class. 3. On our morning walk n play, Cookie stole another dog’s ball. She has been playing with all day.

For dinner last night - breakfast! Baby Dutch Boy. Topped my slice with Greek yogurt, poached pears, blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of cinnamon. The Rose and Fern Pinot Gris was perfect. #Foodsky

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.
