Brain musings. First of all, I'm with Hillary, was all the way through the caucus process. My reasons had little to do with the fact that she is a woman. That fact was a side bonus.
All over my various feeds, everyone has been going on and on about her being the presumptive nominee, which fantastic - that is what I wanted - but concentrating only on the fact that she is a woman. As if that is the only reason many people voted for her. Which just feeds into the Republican narrative.
There is nothing I can say and it is likely just my own brain fritzing out on this. I just...am I alone?
Timelies all!
Had my yearly eye exam today. My streak is over- I need glasses. Right eye is basically normal, left eye is a bit weak.(20/50) I go back in a few weeks to determine my prescription. Ah, well...
Why does my brain keep trying to sing O Holy Night at me? What is that about?
Love the cat portrait
I flirted with voting for Bernie, no lie, which I think is why the shitty rhetoric that some of his backers spout makes me so upset. Like I just can't get as depressed about the crap Trump supporters claim to believe because I've come to expect it from the right, whereas the conspiracy theories/outright lies from the left depress me. I've spent the last month or so reminding myself of all the smart thoughtful lefties I know.
I never wanted a cat portrait before, but now I do.
Right?!? I would not have considered it until I saw this artist's work and learned he took commissions.

The kids outside my house were just singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. ?!
I love the cat portrait! I started out liking Bernie, and then I thought I couldn't in good conscience vote for another old white man. So I looked into Hilary more deeply, and I think she is the right choice.
Entirely randomly I would like to recommend an app: Continuo. It's like a star chart for doing things, but tracks multiple things. It's less cartoonish looking than some I've seen and very simple. You pick one to five things, and then colors for each of those. And then just tap on the days when you do them, and you see a calendar tracking your days. You can also give yourself partial credit if you want. I do it and thought others might too.
I voted for Bernie. His economic and environmental platforms were most aligned with mine. But Clinton won, so I'll be voting for her in the general.
So, as a person who has lived in the same area my whole life, I am obsessed with foods that I think are just readily available that are actually local- like white hots, chicken French, garbage plate. I just found out that Rochester meat hot sauce (for burgers and hots) is local, but is very similar to Cincinnati chili!
So, people don't have meat hot sauce on their burgers?
