The first thing I saw was on my phone, in the news. No surprise, of course, but disappointing. But instead of going on another rant, I’ll just let this song explain:

Undiscovered territory
Always never wished
Looking in the mirror
Staring at the vis
It’s undermining, treacherous
To see what used to be adored
Realizing what is really there
Too close to be ignored
Quick, look away or just turn off that light
Get a book and coffee, forget that awful sight!
***
Aging gracefully, some people say it’s crap
Never truly see the journey on a face’s map.

Grandma loves her tea
Only in fine china
As she only pretends to read
Cause the print is much too fine ah
We all just let it go because she is so proud
To mention or mock would never be allowed.

Every day in every way
A simple concept, ’tis true
Accepting what can’t be changed
Follow the golden rule
Always be your best
Your efforts count
Steady on
Path of
Life

Huddling in my own space, tiny world, my sanctuary of sorts, a place I can choose relief from the reality of what I see through a gauged out hole, an opening to what may seem or may even be the real world, I wonder, could it be better than this?
This may not seem like much to the general public…..but I’m going to the grocery! Yea! Since I’m practically out of detergent, fruit and veggies, it is needed. I have to add that having a washer and dryer inside my own apartment is a true convenience. I’ve been the Sudsy Duds route when you have to share those items with the rest of the town, who may or may not have the same aesthetics I do. And the money…..having the right amount of coins….always made a trip to the bank prewash-day a necessity. Waiting for the machines to finish in the hot steamy atmosphere always a treat, not bad in the winter.
There was a grocery store a few hundred feet away, so it was convenient to shop during the thirty or twenty minutes you had between changing machines. I was still walking then so it was good. The most fun was being preoccupied during these “outings” if I was babysitting. Fascination with the machines, how they worked, and especially loading coins in the slots, was a treat for kids. You also arrived home with your clothes etc, folded neatly, ready to put away. No lazy leaving them in the dryer like I might, just might, admit to happening now.
I guess all in all, the whole experience could be put in the positive column. It’s good to think of the little things in life to give you a positive boost.

Donald Trump is right. He’s won. He said he was president and he could do whatever he wanted and has proven it true. He has proven he can bully, intimidate and rule, even over the country’s highest court! He can hide his taxes, snuff out any videos or phone call tapes, emails, to cover up his unlawful actions, fire and hire anyone he wants, and it has worked! He systematically told the world to go to hell and we are paying the price, because we as a country are now in hell. I can remember my mother talking about Truman and how she thought he was worthless, saying “we’re going to heck in a hand basket” – my mom never swore. Well it’s happening now.
As I read or hear the news everyday because I don’t think I should put my head in the sand, I am mystified at how this happened and how Trump managed to bring out the worst in everyone in such a short time. He rules waving a fist of righteousness so some people believe. And money? The hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold rallies, even in diseased areas that do not have funds or equipment for medical personnel? He actually makes untrue stupid statements about the virus, etc. How does this make sense to anyone, Trump supporter or not?
Put aside the hate monger speeches, the lies, the self important brags of misinformation, and just think for a minute, how the US has changed since he took office. It’s incredible, really, at least to me. I cannot imagine how he thinks he is the best president ever, and says so like a ten year old on a playground who just beat up a six year old. The coronavirus has brought out the worst in people, old ladies refusing to wear masks, guns pointed at everyone or anyone that might step in the wrong direction, even a machete armed person? Who carries a machete around while shopping?
My mom was right, only hell has probably never been this bad.

I would say rant over, but it will never be. The idea that courts in this land can be bullied by one man boggles my mind. Just delete.
