Day 294 - Big Mutant Zombie Apocalypse...

When Trump was elected President in 2016 - I wrote, "Does this mean we're going to have a Big Mutant Zombie Apocalypse (that wasn't)" now?

Four years later...

Apparently.

Sigh.

I'm just waiting for the aliens to show up...

Also in 2016..

Cousin's Hubby in Florida, who is a Trump Supporter: Do you think all conservatives are evil?
Me: of course not.

Now?

Uhm, they proved me wrong. Thank you for that. Not.

Also Cousin is divorcing her hubby, who was lying to her. He was telling her that he had two jobs, and was taking care of the kids - while she was working long days - when in reality, he was doing drugs and getting drunk.
The kids were raising themselves. It all came out during the pandemic.

He's now lost his family, his job, and his wife because he gave into his rage and hate and paranoia - which ate him alive.

Moral? Don't give into rage and hate - it destroys everything in its path. Wrath is a deadly sin for a reason. I've watched it destroy people. Turn them into well...mutant zombies...it's not pretty. That's why I took up meditation and am doing loving kindness meditation daily - I won't let that virus infect me.

Talked to Jay today (the boss I adore - I have three). Jay said she'd seen Bridgerton over Christmas and loved it, so after everything that happened yesterday - she started re-watching it to clear head and focus on something else. I watched Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. Today and last night I caught up on the news...and oh god. If it were a television show - or political satire, I'd find it funny. But it's not. Another co-worker said he felt like he was watching a sci-fi film.

Jay was upset about it. She said her son, who is a flight attendant, was glad he'd chosen not to fly this week. He'd talked to co-workers who told him that it was a nightmare and they feared for their lives. And it has been a nightmare for months - apparently these people aren't wearing masks, are aggressive and violent, and abusive. Which explains why the Flight Attendant Union has requested that the Trump Supporters be put on the no-fly list.

Jay (a POC - African American) - lives out on Long Island, which is racist.

Me: From what I've heard from Lando and Rick, Long Island is racist.
Jay: I live out there - believe me, I know. It's very racist.

Difficulty focusing. Didn't sleep at all well last night. Kept tossing and turning. I feel as if I should be doing something - but I've no clue what.

Work is well work.

I took a brief walk after work - nothing major. It was too cold to go too far - my back doesn't handle cold well. It pesters the arthritis.

Hoping tomorrow is better. One day at a time. Frigging hell - 2021 has not gotten off to a good start, has it? But, we kind of knew it was going to be rough going for a while.

I'm still waiting for the Universe to deliver on those two miracles.
The sociopath booted out of the White House along with his cronies. So far, it's just his cronies that are leaving. Fleeing the place like the rats they are. And a cure for COVID.

Maybe they'll impeach the bastard over the weekend, and I won't have to deal with his antics any longer. Hope springs eternal.

Anyhow, here's a photo of the lettuce that I've been growing in my kitchen.



Bonus? It comes with a sun lamp - which helps with mood. And lighting in the kitchen.

And..yesterday's sunset.
