It's supposed to be the last cold day today, of three very cold weeks. Jack is finally better, only his cough remains. Hubby is back to work and I feel normal again. It was a horrible long weekend, topped off by projectile vomiting (by Jack) down the stairs, to spread the vomit even further, in the middle of the night. Poor guy. On the upside, the dogs did an amazing job of cleaning up the vomit and I had wanted to clean the carpet on the stairs, but I just hadn't gotten around to it. They're super clean now, thanks to my handy little carpet cleaner. Today I may clean the furniture in the TV room.
I try not to read or listen to the news but it creeps in. trump and putin are now negotiating the end of a war that putin started (without provocation) and are not including Ukraine (the country most affected by the negotitations, that was invaded by Russia) in the negotiations. WTF! And trump wants 50% cut of Ukraine's rare earth minerals in return for negotitating a peace plan, among other things. trump always amazes me. When you think he can't get any lower, he proves us all wrong. It's not only sickening, but it's extremely scary. When will trump decide he wants stuff in Canada? And who will he ally himself with when he decides to take what he wants from Canada?
I try not to worry about it, try to think about it, but it sits there in the back of my brain. The future no longer seems like a good place, no longer seems like a place of hope.
I need to channel my inner dog.
Inner dog sounds good, I'm gonna try that! Thanks for the image.
ReplyDeleteThis has to be nerve wracking for Canadians, having this large, densely populated, land mass south of you, run by a bellicose wing nut. I would be very surprised if he invaded, our military is not that large, looking at the tip of the spear people, and there is no will for it. Also, we're not tough enough to endure your winters.
ReplyDeleteAllison has good points, but I can understand your fears. I have so many worries now and lots of anger. It can't be good for me. What kind of country do I now live it? It's unimaginable. I share very few values, ethics or morals with those "in charge" and making radical and dangerous decisions. :( Glad Jack is better although I cringed at the vomiting down the stairs. My younger daughter threw up a lot and once did so in her carseat. It was everywhere! I didn't even know where to start.
ReplyDeleteOops, live IN.
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it, if I heard correctly, Europe has placed the US on the adversary side after Vance's speech. I cannot process this. It hasn't even been a month since these monsters bulldozed into office. It feel s like a dystopian novel, except it's for real.
