Ah, even your unconscious self knows this stuff!

I hope every thing is ok.

I had a great day today but God I am ready to be home. We extended the trip for one day so dad could take us fishing. Which is fine and I love the beach but since Sept 5th I've been home for less than 24 hours.

And Matthew has been grumpy today I don't know why.

Yay shir, so glad you were wrong!

Yay, Shir!

I'm just feeling so worn down from work. Like, I get home, and I don't really have the energy left to cook even something simple for dinner. (I've got some stuff from one of those dinner kit services waiting. It's basically just slicing a carrot and an onion and some garlic and some seitan and sauteeing them, cooking some noodles, mixing together a bunch of pre-measured things to make a sauce, and then mixing it all together. When I was in grad school, this would have been an "I don't have energy to do real cooking, so I'll just make something quick" meal. Now, I don't have energy to make it.

And, just got into an argument with a random dude on my mom's Facebook post. Basically, it was: Me: "I think that society now is more respectful than it was in the past, since there are now more people included under the umbrella of 'people who deserve respect.'" Him: "Are you fucking kidding me? You think you're so woke, and you're calling me a racist and blaming me for things that happened before I was born." And that's barely even a paraphrase.

Ugh. That break down of how "respect" means two different things in " I'll respect you if you respect me" has broader application.

Things I am not saying to Matthew (because I've already said it twice) you want to go fishing, you don't want to be out when it's so hot we need to go out now (actually 2 hours ago) or you'll get hot and miserable too fast . So why are you still watching the anime that will be here when we get back in? Let's please just go fishing (I need him to help carry stuff otherwise I would go alone.)

You are more than right there, askye.

Ugh. That break down of how "respect" means two different things in " I'll respect you if you respect me" has broader application.

Yep. He was arguing that people nowadays are a lot less respectful than they were in the fifties and sixties, and he seemed intent on being his own Exhibit A. He was going off on an unhinged profanity-laden rant on my mom's post. And completely arguing with a straw man -- I was saying that people are less racist now than they used to be, and he responded as if I'd called him racist.

So we got out and I realized that Matthew has a serious level of heart intolerance that I think might be a medical issue or ssymptom of something. He was sweating by just a few minutes outside. So I reworked my plans and then went to myself.

He did walk down the dock and then we walked back so that was nice.

Hil I am sorry that guy is on your mom's fb page and you had to encounter him
