I am Ashley. My mum Glenda is sick with what appears to be the flu. I hope my dad and I do not get it. I hope to get to church somehow on Sunday, having bad luck with transportation. My dad Alan is sick in other ways, and I hope he is well enough on Sunday to do things. I am not sick, but I know I need to see a doctor soon and hope to see one at the Clinic here .... Also, my legs are tight and sore, hope they’re better tomorrow and in the near future. The last time I checked Donald Trump wants Alberta and Panama. Don’t know what else Trump wants but hope Trump doesn’t get it. Don’t know what Canada and other countries will do to American government, but I hope it will be peaceful. Hope Trump, ICE, and whoever else is responsible for many misdeeds will be overthrown, peacefully, as soon as possible. I hope they will have a change of heart.
