My posts may be spotty for awhile. A dark cloud has descended. I have only bad news on every front. The trip to the doctor didn't make me happy. Just found out that the bathroom has had a leak for sometime and we must replace everything--tub, subfloor, tile, and, perhaps (we won't know until we tear it up) the support joists. The entire back wall of the house at the bathroom is rotten. That's not all. Just a highlight.
I won't be clever for a while, I think.
Selavy.
ReplyDeleteWell. Mostly of course, the health is always important and of concern. I hope it is nothing too, too serious and the remedy is not painful or invasive. Etc.
No one said democracy was easy. Right? Has everyone scene the "John Adams," series with Paul Giacometti? After the hundreds of years I've been posting here I'm quite sure I've mentioned it. It is a beautiful thing.
Anyway. My niece is Grace "Kornacki" only more studied, I think. It is her first election. If I want an update - I just text her and I get an accurate account of everything important - drilled down to the counties - number of absentee ballots left to count - and any state update on the release of any new information.
I check in once a day and then in the evening to make sure my people are doing some self-care. I hope all your readers are indeed - self-caring. Sleep is considered that - btw. I have a good list - ways to practice but perhaps I should refrain - man, the blog background is black and feels so heavy tonight. Deep breathing is a savior.
I haven't had any bad hours today. Loads of self-care. Some good some not so good probably but who is going to judge my self-care. Lots of cooking.
I made a roasted green tomato soup with the last of the garden toms. It is tasty. You roast the toms with onions and garlic - meanwhile simmer Kale in some stock and then blend.
Some issues with Ma but that is the norm and now as she's almost 90 - there are some new norms. She cried today. She works herself up in a tizzy about the dumbest things. Today it was her cell phone.
Too bad all the decent Republicans are in the Lincoln Project - cause we need someone decent to come out and say what the President is saying - about our election system is Foul and 100% Anti American - but Trump supporters already hate the Republicans in the Lincoln Party cause they are against Trump and most definitely Elitists. They hate the Bush's so George is no good - remember how Trump made fun of Jeb and those stadiums full of people just laughed and laughed?
It is no longer a Political Party. It is a mob of uniformed white people, the Cubans who heard the word "Socialism" being screamed at the top of Trumps & Friends lungs are newbies, the wealthiest who don't care about anything but their dough - and who else?
Oh. I didn't really want to go there. But - it seems Banana Republic fits right now. Perfectly.
Hope you can find even a spot of Rainbow, C.S. Remember sometimes you have to force yourself - to stop and look - to see. And take a moment to steep yourself in gratitude.
Everyone deserves that peace - even folks caught in dark clouds.
