I'm starting to feel better about life in general, so that's a step in the right direction. I saw where some person was saying they were terrified and that's kinda sad. Personally, the thought of another 4 years of the march toward communism scared the shit out of me, so I'm not sure what's scaring them. The thought of having to take responsibility for themselves and their own lives when the nanny state gets taken away? :shrug:
And I'm ready to stop talking about all this. I want life to return to normal. I'd like the opportunity go get groceries and not have to choose whether I want meat this time or toilet paper because I can't afford both. I realize that this probably won't turn around on a dime, but it would be nice to have it sooner rather than later.
The deluge here finally ended. We got around six and a half inches of rain so far this month. The lake level jumped up about 5 feet in 24 hours. The river near here was flowing at 75 cubic feet per second before the rain and jumped to 25000 cubic feet per second and then jumped again to 48000 cfps. I haven't driven out or walked down to see it yet, and it's starting to come down, so I won't see it at its worst, but gah. Hubs just showed me a photo someone had taken of the river. It's full of crap. This totally harshes my chances at fishing. Blerg.
The cats let us sleep all night last night. Progress. Yay.
I'm reading a Zane Grey right now. It's interesting. So far, not my favorite of his, but it's okay.
The bucks are back. Right now, they're chasing tail all over the woods. Horny bastards.
I've really been a toad these past couple weeks. I need to cut that shit out. It doesn't do my body any good. It doesn't do my brain any good either. And let's not even talk about my attitude. That's in the crapper. I said I was going to edit every day this month and so far, I did it once. Yeah, not the most banner of times. I'd like to say that ends today, but I can't promise anything.
Okay, I think that's about it for me today. How are things in your world?
My world is hanging in there. Slept fitfully Tuesday night, as expected. Breathing easier now and feeling sorry for the sheep who drank too deeply of the unCool-Aide and are now raging against the machine. Sadly, they've turned that rage outward against the wrong machine, rather than inward and at their own. Ah well. That's the joy of a real education from back in the day plus years of watching the ebb and flow of the world. I'm ready to move forward.
ReplyDeleteYay for cattos learning that their humans sleep at night and so should they.
We've got more sploose coming tonight and tomorrow. We still need it. Yay for the lake coming up and the river running but boo on the detritous that gets washed downstream.
Made big batch of traditional chocolate chip cookies yesterday along with the dough for giant snickerdoodles. I'll bake the snickerdoodles this morning and all will be delivered to Only for the school auction. Last year, my snickerdoodles brought like $60 so yay.
I haven't done any writerly stuff nor marketing. Everyone was too intent on Tuesday's events. Maybe I'll get back in the swing tomorrow. We'll see.
Weather has changed. Yay! I switched out summer linens for winter on Tuesday. Good to snuggle under on these chilly nights.
Not much else going on. I'm still sort of emotionally hungover but without the headache. LOLOL I have seen scary things, though. Empy coffee cup things... Time for a refill. Happy Thursday!
