Oh sarameg, it is indeed exhausting.

Out of all this fuckwittery and despair, there gleams a bright hope in the future.

Tonight I went to have my nails done, around the corner from Parkland. There were an unusual number of kids there and I found out that they had taken off school today so were at work with their nail tech moms, and tomorrow their teachers are walking out. The support from the customers and workers was impressive. Maybe the tide is turning.

Home late and just catching up with my FB feed and (not) my Senator Rubio had a post blaming the FBI, etc. etc., GOP puppet response. The comments from thousands of constituents, not having it. One after another calling bullshit and calling him out on hypocrisy. In the past I have never seen his idiot posts responded to with this level of vitriol. As far as I read I didn't see any of the usual Go Marco crap I usually see. Huh. Maybe.

Actual post from my neighborhood's FB group:

"howdy neighbors! im sure this has been asked a million times before but where is a good armoury near northside?? need a new hilt for my longsword and maybe see about getting my mourning star respiked. please dont recommend the big corporate armouries as i prefer to support LOCAL business."

By the last sentence, I realized he was being at least partially facetious...except the post was accompanied by a photo of him (or someone) brandishing his (or someone's) longsword. So.

Woo! Booked lodgings for me first night on Iceland (long story, mom booked something that is one bed shy,) AND I've been given unilateral decision making on everything else out! So we're staying 3 extra days, I'm booking flights, apartment and day tours for them(mebbe me)& my mom isn't freaking out!

For now.

Longswords and Iceland! This episode of Sesame Street was brought to you by Vikings!

Really proud of the kids. I hope they don't give up too soon.

Hit fuckshit. Booked flights for the 3 of us, nonstop. Will sort out everything later.

I do my best decisions about to fall asleep

Whooo, I'm worn out, but that was a nail-biter of a gold medal hockey game. US Women's team wins in a shootout after being tied with Canada 2-2 through overtime, breaking Canada's 4-Olympics gold medal streak.

Woo, sarameg! Hope the trip is good for all.

Had a headache all day Tuesday, not a migraine. Suspected allergy congestion, stayed home yesterday to load up on Benadryl and Claritin and rest. Not really better, so switching to Mucinex today. Driving to the drug store and back wiped me out.

Hope your neighbor finds a local armory and stops putting the u in morning-star, Tep.
