This is going to kind of be a free=write again, as I didn’t actually have anything set out to write about.
Today is my grandfather’s 97th birthday. I did speak to him, and he seems to be doing well. Repetition of stories he’s told for years, but, overall still sharp. I could profess envy for his longevity, but I’m not sure I”m there. It’s not that I have a wish to die, but I’m hoping I can live long enough to really enjoy some things, finally. I’m nor sure that’s going to happen.
Election Day today, too. I expect some really wrong-headed people to win. If Jay Jones loses in Virginia, I’ll be slightly pacified, but I expect Representative CIA to win the governor race. It’ll be a nice piece of solace for the authoritarians who are really upset about Dick Cheney’s death.
I checked some of the usual zOMG SITHLORD sites easly this morning. Finally saw a mention at about 0600 Central.
(It should be completely obvious how little attention I’ve paid to Star Wars. I did get through Attack of the Clones, but I don’t think I could fully explain what happened. Watching all of the movies….another one of the tasks I haven’t been able to stick to!)
I’m not sure if my inability to stick to big tasks is MS-related, or if I’m really just bored with it all. The same is true for things I consume aurally; a podcast that’s going to last more than about an hour is almost a guaranteed multi-part listen.
And I get disrupted again by the swirl of things happening today where I am. I will say that the Community Coffee Pecan stuff out of the dispenser hit the spot. Same goes for the blueberry bagel.
We’ll see how much more happens for the rest of today and the trip, but I do want to go home.
