All right, mac!!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, then!
Didn't get seated on a jury, but got as far as a courtroom for an arson & assault case. Almost stood for the more or less likely to believe police question, but didn't because it sent me down a whole mental rabbit hole of skepticism & participate or subvert or both and weighing plausibility versus supposed authority. All moot, in any case.

Well, that was a long day. Cash handling, whee. Now I am starving and too tired to out for food so I am eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
-t, that is perfectly civilized as long as you are using a utensil of some sort to get the PB out of the jar.

A utensil of some sort was used! Hooray!

For the first time in months, I watched broadcast TV as it aired (AoS premiere) and was exposed to commercials I couldn't avoid. They weren't as obnoxious as I was afraid, but I think I didn't recognize people I was expected to. I'm treating them like anthropological exhibits anymore. There was one ad for jewelry, "one diamond for your best friend, one diamond for your true love, one ring for the woman who's both," and I said, "I'd rather have a pair of matched daggers, thanks." Fortunately, I was married to a man who would have thought that perfectly reasonable.

I cannot bear the news. Found myself rewatching the PBS Great Performances thing about Hamilton, and nearly broke into tears at one point that Obama was talking about the marvelous American experiment. Dude, it's collapsing.
Yeah, Flynn copped a plea. But the very very best we can hope for (Trump and Pence both get indicted and impeached) results in Paul GrannyStarver Ryan as president. This is an only marginal improvement.
I'm depressed.
Possibly not helped by the fact I got 3 vaccinations today, and they probably fucked up my immune system a bit...

Dammit, December 1st and I got Little Drummer Boyed while running errands this afternoon. My only consolation is that I heard "Step into Christmas" on the radio before it happened.
