The Day After the Day After

Frieda and I mirrored one another the day after.


Dazed disbelief to......

Today we carry on. What else can we do? I found a Stephen King book through Libby I thought I hadn't read but as I go through it I realize I had. I remember certain parts of the book as I come to them but I don't remember what is coming next. So it's like I haven't read it before. Stephen King felt appropriate.

I plan to occupy myself with keeping up with cat hair and dust. This also feels appropriate. A problem that just keeps turning up.

We cannot keep up with cat fur. She wafts it everywhere but not always in specific places.

Boud said...

Keep on keeping on is the word of the day!

For me it is the dog hair. I can count on Charlie to have gobs of it floating across the floor [we don't have carpets]. That is okay...he keeps us smiling.

Keep on keeping on is what we will do.

I am not watching the news. I do think about all the lunatics he surrounds himself with, which is scary.
I hope to make pumpkin bread today.
Frieda looks beautiful, it is like she is glowing .
Take Care,
Kaye

Miss Merry said...

I'm still empty and still hiding. I am only streaming 1970 sitcom reruns. I am tired. So tired. Please let the young people step up.

It's been a weird and exhausting couple of days...still asking why this happened...

Sandra said...

I'm in your club, AC.

Sandra said...

It is, Boud.

When Kettah was alive, Val, it was a battle between she and Gatto who could shed more. It usually ended in a toss-up.

Sandra said...

That would be Keetah. I am a poor typist!

Sandra said...

Kaye, Musk plans to cut the budget by 2 Trillion. If that happens, bye bye Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, social services and what all else I can't think of. We need to suffer for the greater good according to the billionaire.

Sandra said...

I don't feel well, Miss Merry. I haven't seen how the voting played out so I don't know if the young people showed up or not. It's been not in the past.

Sandra said...

A lot of angry, racist, biased, bitter for-whatever-reason people who found their pied piper, e.

Rita said...

Still recovering and adjusting. Inner preparation, I guess. I've been binge watching British mystery series for my calming escape. (They always catch the bad guys.) Avoiding much of the news. Focusing on my move. It feels like a kind of withdrawing. Waiting.

Sandra said...

It's necessary to spend time absorbing what just happened, Rita. I believe there is a very large hole in our education process when people cannot see what is before their own eyes. Calling Kamalla a fascist when the fascist before them is telling them outright he is a fascist. I think they don't even know the meaning of the word.

Sandra said...

Kamala. I cannot type.

Jo-Anne's Ramblings said...

It's done, you have a new President like him or not only time will tell how things will go this time around

Apparently a lot of people voted for Trump even though they don’t like him. They are hurt by high prices and think he would be better for the economy. They didn’t feel heard by the Democrats. They will probably have buyer’s remorse, but don’t assume they are all angry racists. I thought Harris did a great job, but she couldn’t overcome her connection with the inflation caused during Biden’s time in office.

Sandra said...

We've been there once and he has broadcast his intentions for almost 4 years, doing so boldly for the last year, telling us it will be worse. The supreme court has given him immunity for anything he does as an official act as president. It's not difficult to figure out where this is heading Jo-Anne. Sadly.

Sandra said...

They then don't mind one bit his angry, racist, misogynistic rambling rantings. Cheerful. I have trouble distinguishing the difference, Cheerful. Do these same people think the president has control over private enterprise and how they price items? Do they want this? They would shout NO. Yet, somehow it's government, ie, the president and vp who are to blame instead of rampant greed.My .2 cents.

I have never read anything by Stephen King.

Lori Skoog said...

I think the real reason Kamala lost...some men do not want a woman to hold the office of President....especially a black one. The old white men want to rule and the macho dudes think they are superior. I'm totally disappointed that so many women joined in and wonder how much they care about the future for their children. As for E Musk. He is very dangerous!!!
