I have to drive the step-son to work today. Well, I drive him when I have to be somewhere by 8 am, but I don’t have anyone till 12 today. My morning client cancelled because she cleaned for Thanksgiving, which I totally understand. And she’s another easy client so I’m sure it won’t be bad the next time I’m there. I think I play with the dogs more than anything.

I do have to go to Drill Sergeant’s house this morning to gather mail and do a general walk through to make sure everything is okay. I was going to do it on Thanksgiving then totally forgot, and didn’t even think of it over the weekend. Damn brain.

Ok. Coffee. I need lots of it.

10:06 am

Got the mail taken care of. I also put my international Zmas cards in the mail. Who knows when they’ll get them, if they get them at all. A couple disappeared last year in transit. It pissed me off. Especially the one with a wee little gift in it. I even put two international stamps on it.

I’m already obsessing about DPM. I try to get a head start on the prompts. Trying to find a prompt picture the same day is impossible. It’s funny that I have something to use for one of the stranger prompts. But I’m strange anyways.

I can’t decide if I want to make a few cards out, or work on the tree. hm I think both. I’ll do the tree until the doggos come in, then write some Zmas cards.

4:17 pm

omfg did I start a shit storm. I stole a post from a friend that says “Three soldiers killed in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan and conservatives are defending Trump breaking the law by closing an authorized port of entry to ask for asylum. Not only US Law, but international law. And before you come at me look up the refugee act that was adopted into immigration reform in 1980 by congress.”

Total war on the thread between the left and the right. All of this happened while I was at work. I’m not even going to comment. My friend (the left) is doing a great job, whereas the right just keep spewing Fox news bullshit. I don’t even think they looked up the law. They just keep repeating themselves.

I try like hell to not hold their right wing bullshit against them. They are my friends, but each day it gets harder and harder to not say what is really on my mind. It isn’t nice, and it isn’t educated. What I want to say is plain ol’ name calling. I just don’t understand. They say they’re not racist, but here they are lumping all of the refugees into the criminal section. It makes me so fucking mad! And it doesn’t matter how many thoroughly researched facts you throw at them, they still defend 45 and all the right wing bullshit! I. Just. Don’t. Fucking. Get. It. Makes me want to scream. Jesus. I’m so mad right now.

I was going to do the prompt for today, but when I started thinking about what I did… I just can’t. It will send me on a spiral. Actually it already has affected me. I really fucked up someone’s life. Someone I love. And if I write it all out, I don’t know where my thoughts might take me, or what they’ll make me do. So I’m going to leave it at that.

After this cuppa coffee, I need to write out some cards, match some socks, and work on the Zmas tree.

See ya.
