1. I have not posted anything about the horrendous floods & mudslides, killing over 400 people in Sierra Leone, with over 600 missing. I watched the news reports on this over a month ago. My thoughts are with the people of Sierra Leone.
Too date, unless I missed it, I don't recall if the White House has even mentioned this disaster. The State Dept. on a website had mentioned that they were monitoring the situation & expressed their condolences to all, gave instructions on how to donate. And, warned Americans to avoid the area. I have not heard or read where we offered any humanitarian aid or assistance. We have an Embassy in Freetown, one of the hardest hit regions. I certainly hope we offered aid & assistance; again, I may have missed that bit of info. The State Dept. in this administration has drastically cut the funding for humanitarian aid.
2. Head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt ( the Cabinet member who, before he was picked by donald trump to head the agency, vowed to do a way with said agency): he is getting a sound-proof booth, to the tune of $24, 570. This my tax payer money. This is the same man who has a 24/7 armed security detail. Why? Am I paying for that too?
3. I have to lose 3 lbs. by Sept. 30th (yeah, right) & 12 lbs. in October. Then, I can get back on track to lose the 38 lbs. I should have lost by last May of this year. I seem to be going backwards on my weight loss program. Wish I had not gained those 15 lbs. during last Dec. 2016.
So, what did I do yesterday? Well, in addition to bashing donald trump, I baked a desert pizza thing, sort of. It was called " Caramel Apple Crack ". What a horrible name for a food item. Picture below. This is one desert I certainly will not become addicted to - I tore up the recipe so I'm not tempted to try baking it ever again. As a matter of fact, this will be going in the garbage before I go to bed. Come to think of it, besides a piece of this thug desert, can't recall eating any real food Tuesday, except 2 bananas, 2 peppermints & 5 glasses of water. No wonder I can't lose weight. Rotten eating habits.
