Day #306 - One Day More..

[shadowkat]

Sigh.

One day more.

This is the last day with the asshole in the white house.

We'll finally evict him tomorrow.

I can't wait.

People are taking the day off - I see no point, I'm working remotely. I can turn on the television at 10 AM, and watch while working. No one will notice.

As I told mother - we have a nation filled with folks (myself included) with varying forms of PTSD.

Can I sue the GOP for giving me, and half the population - PTSD?

Neighborhood FB told people to open their windows and doors and make some noise in celebration tomorrow. (My area is pretty much all liberal, the conservatives are hiding, and have fled or been booted off the neighborhood pages finally. There are Biden/Harris signs still up in most lawns, along with signs, half faded, stating no one is above the law. Black Lives Matter.
Etc.

Been struggling with a sinus headache all day long - made me kind of nauseous and dizzy around 1 PM, so I took meds. It's better now. Most likely a combination of sinus and tension equaling a sick headache. Made it difficult to get much if any work done. Spent most of the day either dosing at my desk or staring blankly at the screen or outside my window. Every once and a while, I'd check the internet for good news or reassurance, finding nothing - I'd go back to staring at the document I was working on.

Around 3:30 - I snuck downstairs to do laundry, which wasn't easy - the elevators were busy today. Note to self, Tuesday may not be the best day to do laundry, then neither is Monday or Saturday. I told this to mother, who burst out laughing. Did get it done, although forgot to throw a sweater and a pair of jeans in - which is okay, they can wait, neither was that dirty. Mainly, I had to do the towel and bath mats that got soaked with toilet water, plus the assorted underwear, socks, shirts, and yoga pants that have become my work at home attire. Kind of navigated my way around two guys who were also doing it.

Spoke to mother, who is concerned about father. My father is miserable - his life is regimental and he hates it. Feels like he is in the army. Being bossed around. And wants to go home and be with mother. But he can't - because she can't take care of home. Bro and I both told her to take care of herself, that if my Dad were in his right mind this is what he'd want for her.

Mother is due to be released from the rehab facility tomorrow. Her retirement community is also due to receive the vaccinations or start receiving them tomorrow - although no guarantee that she'll get one. I desperately want her vaccinated - it would solve so many problems. But no, they are going by age, and she's among the youngest of the residents.

A lot is happening tomorrow. Just saying. I hope and pray nothing goes wrong. And I have no control over any of it. Just have to watch from far far away.

Mother has a ride set up via her home health care coordinator from the retirement community. And round the clock care. So should be okay. Only problem is we have COVID - so she'll have to wear a mask most of the time in her own home.

The thing in the White House is reportedly leaving tomorrow morning, with his family in tow. We're all waiting for the pardons, but they don't appear to be forthcoming. I read that he was conducting a bidding war and auctioning them off to the highest bidder, and most likely will complete it by tomorrow morning. But... he was talked out of pardoning himself, his family or anyone involved in the insurrection, which means he may not pardon anyone.He's done everything wrong, and spit on our country in the process. Because of him - for the first time in recorded history, we have a President coming in without his national security team in place. And he continues to try and unleash as much hate and discord on the world in his wake as he can muster. I can't wait for him to disappear into obscurity. One Day More, and he'll be gone.

That miracle is taking a very long time to come to fruition.

Mother called during the Governor's rant about the budget. He's trying to put one together, but can't until he knows what the idiotic Federal Government will do.

Mother: What's that in the background?
ME: The Governor is ranting again on television - about our idiotic Federal Government, what else?

I turned him off. He's getting repetitive.

And we have a serious vaccine shortage in our country and New York State. Although, at least they got a million people vaccinated in NY State (progress). That will help a little. At least.

I know the tide is turning, I know things will start to get better. I just have to make it through January and February, and possibly March. That's all. I feel like a marathon runner or that I'm on an endless rollercoaster ride with a billion people - and we're getting close to the end, just a few more twisty turns to go.
