Keep Up With It Or At Least Try
Okay I'm just going to start writing right now stream of consciousness this thing none of this oh no I'm too tired to write I'm losing track of my own life why am I killing infinite amounts of time doing so little. Incomprehensible run on sentences here we come! In three two
We had pizza for dinner tonight. Ordered half with onions and mushrooms and capers and half plain and ended up with capers on the whole pizza even though the onions and the mushrooms were on half as expected but Eris ate hers anyways capers and all so I guess it's all good also that pizza combination is amazing 100% love it. Great!
Eris has been asking a lot about what it was like when she was a baby and/or repeating stories she's heard about what it was like when she was a baby except in the form of repeated questions in the four-year-old manner: "When I was a baby you brought a big bottle of milk to daycare? And I ate it right away when I got there because I was very hungry? And you got lots of baby toys for me that I could play with?" Etc. etc. There's this phase of existence where you first become aware that you remember stuff from when you were a little younger but don't remember stuff from when you were a little younger than that even though it's stuff that happened to you not that long ago and you've seen photos and it must be a strange time in life. Like many times in life. Most.
The news just gets crazier and crazier and would it be so bad for things to get a little less crazy for a little while? Even if it's dumb and naive to want that (come on you can want more than one thing but you can't always etc.) couldn't we have a President who takes the job seriously and isn't a literal internet troll? Even if the election goes well, it's two months of the most crazy lame-duck session you've ever seen, followed by Republicans going back to their 100% sabotage strategy, while Biden gets two years to deliver some of what the US desperately needs before the Americendulum swings inevitably back to whatever thing the GOP is ramping up towards that will make this administration look tame by comparison. (To follow the pattern. Three Republican Presidents have been elected during my lifetime, each unimaginably more horrible than the last.) THIS is what the country looks like when they want the current administration to succeed!
I mean, it's not inevitable, Republicans in the nation could go the way of Republicans in California, not the way of Republicans in Massachusetts. The nation could go the way of Ohio or Colorado. Or whatever. The only thing certain about the future is that it's coming! That it's here!
