I've been paying attention for the requisite 3-5 hours so I'm good.

Last night I was up pitting cherries I had picked kind of late in the afternoon, it was late when it was all done. I need to go to bed earlier tonight.

This will go on for some time so you can catch up at your own pace.

The grand jury met today, as scheduled. I think they did a mighty fine job. Although I'm tired, I suspect I'll be watching the news for a few more hours.

Trump tweeted about it around 4:30 Eastern, and the indictment was announced around 5.

As part of some mythical “Friday news dump.”

Even though the only reason for a “Friday news dump” is to release unfavorable news that would be forgotten by Monday, and there’s nothing unfavorable about this news nor would it be forgotten even if it was released on a Friday.

case; Grand Jury & Jack Smith bc that's when they met,
esp in the past several weeks as people knew they were getting close to an announcement.

I was so involved in getting something done that was a special treat (but anxious previous night, bad sleep) for me, then my sis and I had lunch together.
Stopped at regular, and specialized food store. Then traveled back home for dinner.

So totally forgotten, and just generally doing my x times/day DU check ins for serious, and fun stuff
It around 5:30PM didn't even occur to me that *this* could be The day! 😄😄😄

With LBN announcement, and replies - oh, Oh? OH!!!!
This IS it! (The serious start)
