Jul. 3rd, 2021 07:41 pmI have taken most of the upcoming week off, and by the time I logged off yesterday, I could only conclude I needed it. On a personal level, the week was more stressful than actually bad, and it even had one very good thing: I have now joined an in-person D&D group. We meet for session zero next Wednesday. I'm even getting the play the halfling ranger character I've spent so long dwelling on. Although it's anyone's guess how that whole thing's going to survive the delta variant.
But it feels even more, now, like everything is only temporary. Until the variant Pfizer isn't as good against shows up. Until the Republicans steal all the elections. (Or don't have to; apparently the horror the Republicans nominated for Virginia's governor is taking the lead in the polls. If we can't even stop that in Virginia, what hope is there for the redder states?) Until the Supreme Court destroys what's left. Until the Earth becomes uninhabitable. Even a societal collapse isn't something I'd be that likely to survive; the disabled go quickly.
It hasn't helped that my painkillers are only partly working against my cramps right now, which is an improvement to their possibly not working at all against my excruciating headache back on Thursday. Tomorrow will likely literally be more painful.
