I laughed about ltc for about five minutes. Bless her. Those skills are going to serve her well.

We had a complete meltdown about elearning tonight. I saw it coming in slow motion like a train wreck as DH and our youngest were discussing a algebra test that needed to be taken by tonight.

The problem is that DH jus looks at the work as a black and white issue—it needs to be done so just do it. But the offspring are anxious, and stressed and at least one is ADD as well as other issues going on.

The LEAST productive thing you can do is trying to suss out WHY they are NOT doing the work when they NEED TO DO THE WORK RIGHT AWAY!

But nooooooooooo...I am a goddamn psychologist and referee and I hates it.

Do we know who’s president yet?

NO WE DO NOT, Lisa.

Biden is supposed to be speaking soon though, and he keeps accumulating votes in PA, putting him way over Agent Orange (and above 270).

Remember how when Mueller (ptui) released his report (ptui), and Barr (ptui) decided to frame as an exoneration, which it so was not, and by doing so, he managed to convince 2/3rds of the country that Trump-Russia was a nothing-burger?

I think Biden should just start saying he's won, and as President-Elect, he'll blah blah blah fishcakes. Just speak it into being, Joe. Convince people it's a done deal.

Dooooooooo it.

Dear lord, Cindy. My poor precious eyes! That was taken so much too far it achieved its own bizarro perfection

There were some excellent choices in the video Cindy foisted on our poor eyes. And some regrettable ones, but mostly it made me laugh in demented disbelief, which after a week like this one is a good good thing.

See, JZ. Don't listen to me. Listen to Teppy, -t, and Theodosia. They put the Ts in the triumvirate of taste.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a triumvirate of taste before. I will cherish this memory!

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a triumvirate of taste before. I will cherish this memory!

I'm quite sure I haven't! I'm dizzy with the honor!

Do we know who’s president yet?

We definitely know, but they won't call it yet.

JZ, I feel you.

Me, too. And one of these people is my father. While he has his on (only partly treated) mental health issues, I see how FB (and the internet, in general) are a bad influence on him. He's very deep into the rabbit hole of many conspiracies, and it's takes lots of effort to make him re-consider his position, to which he comes back after a day or two. So I learned not to play this game. Because for me it's not a game/"interesting conversation topic", it's my core beliefs being constantly ridiculed for lolz and trying to show me how I'm being pwned by not believing in conspiracies. It's not a treatment I'm willing to take from anyone in my life. So we don't discuss politics and I'm steering away from anything that might bring up a conspiracy theory.

Yawn. I haven't actually watched news yet this morning. It is a good thing that we will have a new president, but I can't accept that over 70 million people think it was just fine and dandy to leave the orange blight in the White House. My sister told me that my SIL told her that Biden was a pedophile. She knows that SIL is insane so she didn't pay her any mind, but asked me where the hell she gets that stuff from. I confirmed her suspicions about QAnon and all the conspiracy idiots. I don't know what can be done about such people. I just don't have the emotional energy to deal with them so I just cut them off.

Good news alert in my email though was Mark Meadows having Covid. May he get good and sick, and if TPTB are listening re-infecting Trump would be just dandy, if indeed he ever was infected. Understand, I don't want these people to die, just suffer. Death is too easy a punishment for them.

I don't like what they have done to my sweet self.

I stay up late hoping for one state to call it. I listen to my alarm (NPR) earlier than I want to get up hoping for at least one state to call it.

POOP!

I am doing clean up work for the main texting campaign I worked with and then plan to start in on yardwork.

It is supposed to be gorgeous. I skipped the Farmer's Market knowing it would be super crowded. I am going back to tighter lockdown. Ordering some items for pick up this weekend, but otherwise staying to the home except for dog walks.

Reports on Twitter that Matt Gaetz has COVID. Bless. Couldn't happen to a better person. May he receive all the compassion he shows others.

Oh, that is nice news to wake up to. Not election-finally-over news, but satisfying.
