I wish I had pie for breakfast!

Or watch something like Bar Rescue or Border Security. When I'm torturing myself about fucking up, it does provide perspective.

Oh man, that's the truth. My mother has suggested that also why I watch Intervention and Botched -- I have made some really, really good life choices.

Woke up too early, assisted by my cat, got some stuff done around the house and still made it to work before they unlocked the door at 8. Today should be amazing.

I saw this idea on tumblr - It is abhorrent that the human cesspool that is Donald Trump gets to feel good about himself, but you don't, Gudanov. Think on that a bit.

Donald Trump is well on his way to becoming president, surging in the polls every day (it's gone from a solid Hillary lead to a toss up now), and I just make mistakes that make people angry.

She is up in the polls! A lot! (yes, I check obsessively daily)

I am choosing not to have pie for breakfast, even though I have three kinds of pie in the freezer. Got my heart set on a bagel.

I have started my morning by attempting origami with toilet paper. The things you do for GISHWHES. So far, it isn't too bad, though the paper has some stretch to it, so it makes some folds challenging.

Gud, I'm sorry you feel crappy and I too am glad you are seeing a therapist.

I got 3 new Pokemon over dinner. Where we went was a Pokespot and they had just put out a lure. YAY!

I know this feeling. Also, you had to log back in because they did an upgrade. There are some new features.

We took a walk before dinner yesterday specifically so I could hit up all the Pokestops* at all the businesses/restaurants (and, in one case, a crosswalk) in our neighborhood (there are A LOT; it's a vast sea of blue cubes all up and down the main street through the neighborhood)...and then the app stopped responding and wouldn't log me in when I restarted it. I said to Tim, "You mean NOW I'm just talking a walk for my HEALTH? Preposterous!" I did get almost 10,000 steps, though, which is cool. (Except I lost about a mile that could have gone towards hatching an egg. Annoying.)

*I get more excited about getting Pokeballs at the Pokestops than I do about actually catching Pokemon. I know that's not the point of the game, but I don't care.

Did I say this here? I know I said it on FB in the comments of some peoples' posts. Anyway:

I'm starting to think that Trump actually wants to lose (or have a reason to withdraw from the race). His disgusting comments about Khizr and Ghazala Khan suddenly made me think -- he doesn't WANT this job. He in no way wants to be POTUS, but his ego got him into and through the primaries and he wasn't going to back out, because he's a pathological narcissist.

But now that he's the for-real nominee, I think he's trying to do and say as many horrific bigoted things as possible so that he either loses (if he stays in the race) or can claim he was "pushed out" by the backlash to his revolting dumpster-fire bigotry.

I know lots of people think he wants the job of POTUS for his ego, and the prestige, etc. And he is a raging egotist for sure. But while I think he's stupid, I don't think he's SO stupid that he doesn't realize what being POTUS would entail, and he just doesn't want the job.

What happens if a candidate withdraws from the race? Does the party select a new candidate, or does the VP candidate become the POTUS candidate? (I know Google exists, but I thought someone here might know. Y'all are better and more accurate than Google.)

The most recent - he got stuck in an elevator in Colorado Springs, was rescued by the fire department and then, at his speaking engagement later that day he BLASTED the fire chief for enforcing the venue capacity.

I don't know, I really think he is that -- not stupid, necessarily, but SO USED to getting his own way because of his money and his privilege. He never backs down, no matter what, because that would mean admitting he was wrong, and he's not going to do that. He defines himself as a master strategist, and then, by definition, everything he does is brilliant.
