Headachey

[missizzy]

Yesterday, since we'd long voted anyway, the biggest event of the day was instead my sister coming over to take my mother to the doctor, since she had a medical issue that really required her to go in, and she'll need to do further testing in the future as well. And my sister even came in after they got back and talked with us for half an hour, and also showed us how to use GrubHub, which was very good of her to do. She and mom both pointedly spent the evening not following poll results, though I looked on and off. I also watched a good deal of "A Bard's Lament," which was an odd experience when I've still never warmed to Scanlan, but also suited my mood just fine. I finished it this morning, and now am well into the following episode-though it bore a reminder of the misery of the last four years when the opening announcements included a farewell to one of the members of the crew, just one of the deportees of Trump's early days.
Now it's starting to look like the U.S. may escape the worst of it this time, even as way too big a portion of its population illustrated how much this country does not deserve such deliverance-though we must all be glad for it anyway, simply for how many innocent lives it will save. I still fear it will be only a four year partial reprieve. I certainly don't see how we can fix things at this point.
