Sad Day.

 Let’s chat

Update #1: my entire family is now Covid free. 

Goodbye 2020. 

I didn’t write much about Christmas or New Years. Here ya go.

Christmas was..... weird. It didn’t feel special in any way. We did do the same as we’d done on thanksgiving and that was, ditch the scheduling. We ate Christmas dinner, the whole big meal, At 3 am. We slept when we wanted and I read ...... SEVEN BOOKS. That week. Bliss. On Christmas we just asked... wanna open gifts? Around 4 pm.

I got AirPod pros and can I just be an entitled white woman for a second? They fall out of my ears no matter what size I use and I’ve purchased many different bud things that are suppose to help and... Nope. Sales guy says... “Oh, your ears are really small. That’s probably it.”

Naturally. Apple does not make anything to help with this. I guess that duct tape is going to have to work.......

My favorite gift, which is shocking for warm blooded me, an electric blanket that’s as soft as a bunny’s tummy! Seriously. I need sheets made from this material and maybe pants.

I started this yesterday and I can’t let today pass without comment:

What I witnessed in DC today is no less than what we’ve watched in Third World Countries led by a lunatic dictator.

Robb called in dismay. I like that I can hear how things here are perceived in Britain/The Uk. He had a house full of his neighbors and friends. He called to see if we were still safe in other states and express his condolences. He put me on speaker phone, as I’m known as THE AMERICAN therefore I’m the resident expert on AMERICANS.

I answered the questions as logically as possible but felt embarrassed by their reactions AND questions. 

“This looks like a movie. This isn’t the bright and shiny American” 

“Are there millions of people who will do this?”

“Do they read what the courts have said?”

“Does trump want this to happen?”

“Does trump believe what he’s saying?”

“Are you scared?”

“ How do you know if you’re neighbor believes this way? That would scare me”

For the record, I’m not scared. Bullies don’t scare me. Did you see the woman get shot and how they scattered like rats. A couple stayed behind to help.

Those kinds of people don’t scare me. They embarrass me. They bring shame upon our country. They are the 2021 version of the Klan. Hiding behind a crowd committing violent acts. Once they are alone they get their ass kicked by a Twistsd Tea. 

No, this is not how millions of people act but millions of people do believe what trump says. The devil is in the details. Republicans need to stand up against these acts. 

Good people can believe differently. 

We need to find our way back to that place.

We need the world to see us as a leader. A bright and shining star.

Start today.
