I do know I don't want Turnip impeached or assassinated, because Pence is ten or twenty times worse--he's organized, he's an efficient politician, and he will deliberately dismantle the infrastructure as much past recovery as possible, if he serves as President for any length of time. Turnip is at least random in his recklessness. He could wreck a lot, but leave a lot standing, too.

See, I think Pence, despite being the devil incarnate, *won't* get us nuked off the map, while Trump is going to make all the 80s nuclear winter scares become very real very quickly because he is entirely unprepared and doesn't care that he's unprepared, and for some reason he's still allowed to Tweet. I want Trump impeached on day 1. I want him impeached the moment he's sworn in. Because fuck him.

Yeah, Pence is the devil we know, but Trump is still scarier for me.

Productive Day is PRODUCTIVE

- sweep living room & kitchen
- vacuum living room area rug
- mail 4-5 things make that 7! things mailed & another ready to mail tomorrow!
- pick up mail for work (so it doesn't have to be done tomorrow)
- measure window pane
- get window screen out (I think it is caulked in)
- go buy window pane & anything else needed for repair
- replace window pane & make child help
- clean bathroom
- have child do laundry, pack bag, and do anything else needed for going to school tomorrow - he has been told - nothing doing yet
- either take things to thrift store or list things on ebay
- pack lunch for tomorrow
- lay out clothes for tomorrow
- finish self-eval that was due yesterday
- do at least one load of laundry
- buy groceries

Taking a break and having a Shandy

extra bonus stuff

- made coffee, cooked breakfast, went to bookstore, treated self to bagel store, remembered to take plastic bag recycling to grocery!, cleaned up dog poop in backyard, took storage bin of extra linens to garage.

I read msbelle's list and now I have to take a break.

Ditto. And I've been breaking since I got up this morning.

The dogs wanted to go outside so I took advantage of their absence and quickly vacuumed the area rug and rather than sweep took the extension hose and did a vacuum of all the fur bunnies and dust monsters and leaves that I could see. Out of breath.

So really only self-eval and prep for tomorrow need to be done.

Yeah, we went to the grocery store today, and that's it. Watching Sherlock later tonight. That is my New Year's Day, and glad of it. (Though I think I have either gastritis or mild food poisoning, and I can't figure out which. Very annoying. Also painful.)

Well I think I am running on fumes from the steroid shot from yesterday, plus I did almost nothing since I started feeling bad on Tuesday. The window stuff REALLY needed to get done because a cold front is coming through Tuesday and it will be getting near or at freezing for 5 days. The other cleaning stuff is just weekly stuff that I haven't done for about 2 weeks.

I have avoided the self-eval all I can. Time to get it done and over with.

I want Trump impeached because he ought to be impeached. Some of the things he's done already before he's even sworn in are impeachable; if we don't, it's an acceptance that this is all perfectly okay and it is not okay. I'm scared of Pence, too, but a) Pence is at least sane, he won't get us into a nuclear war over some idiot tweet, and b) Pence is going to use the orange puppet to get his evil agenda done anyway. I'd rather be fighting against the one(s) who's actually doing the damage, instead of having to bushwhack through a distraction jungle of stupid tweets every day.
