I've been led to that too.

I am sad, but honestly, relieved.

W00t! Fay's back in Bitches!

My Republican family members are being very, very quiet about politics on Facebook. I don't know if they're being considerate of my delicate feelings or if they're just that ashamed of their party's candidate. Either way, I'm relieved about it.

In other news, I just blocked off time for the winter holidays this year in the office calendar. And I realized that I'm really looking forward to it this year. No idea why, and heaven knows I don't want to see ads or store decorations up until after Thanksgiving (yeah, good luck there). But the thought of putting up and decorating a tree, baking, spending time with the family up north, it all makes me smile. Guess I'm getting sentimental in my late middle age.

I think things are often different as we go along. Dealing with my disability didn't end when I was eight and my parents and I talked about "forever" with an eight year old.(Even though a lot of well-meaning able-bodied people tend to get stuck here...with the whole "kids are cruel" thing and, it is true that people aren't as likely to blurt out "You look *funny*" (Trump aside) every stage definitely still has new challenges.

PS: Kind of works my nerves what an aberration that encounter with the reporter is treated as. I have seen that gesture approximately a million times. Not usually from a dude with a staff and dropped testicles, but can we please stop with "Mocking a disabled person?! How low can you go?" especially since to get on NYT, I would let someone do that every week if they felt like it. (Not really. Almost.)

There are assorted Christmas decorations and such in the CVS. I saw them today (when I was buying a Halloween pumpkin, because THAT IS THE CURRENT HOLIDAY), and I actually recoiled.

Fay!

I fell asleep when the inlaws were here instead of going out. I didn't realize how exhausted I was.

Lovely to see you in this 'hood, Fay!

The heart body wants what it wants.

I got home, and there was a note on my door from FedEx, saying that they tried to deliver a package, and it requires a signature, and that this was their third and final attempt to deliver it. I haven't been home much, but this is absolutely the first time that there's been a note like this on the door. Their tracking thing says that they attempted delivery twice before, and they claim they left notes then. And they can't leave the package without a signature.

By the way, it's a box of sanitary napkins.

Wouldn't want that falling into the wrong hands!

I made the mistake of letting ltc take a second nap today, and now she won't sleep.

This week is much too long, and has had way too many triggery things, and I don't like it. And I want to read a book on my Kindle app, but I can't find my iPad charger cord.
