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.

Oh, I hadn't seen the Gaetz news. Sweet!

Ugh, I went to bed too late, and then this morning I was having a dream where I was moving out of an apartment during college, and I'd thought I only needed to pack enough stuff for me, but then I realized I had to pack everything in the apartment, and I didn't have enough boxes and stuff, so I was just dumping drawers into plastic bags and trying to fit things into overfull suitcases.

I've had different varieties of unpleasant dreams lately too, and then saw that it was a widespread complaint of late.

ahh - the moving anxiety dream, yes yes, I am familiar with the oeuvre.

I usually tend toward "end of the semester and I forgot to go to class", but sure, variety is good.
