There was a tiny anti Kavanaugh demonstration in front of our courthouse in town. I think there have been bigger ones but this seemed to be a spontaneous thing.
Someone locally is planning a weekend of healing. I guess they are calling it that so women can do spiritual healing, yoga various things to help deal with the stress.
M and I are leaving for the beach tomorrow. We will have 6 whole days and 2 travel days and I am ready.
Work is stressful. No one is applying and we need about 7 people. I have no idea how we are going to cover our Christmas hours. And people are blatantly stealing from us but we are short handed so they get away with it. We don't see them but we are finding packaging left out in the open.
Jesus, my husband is on the phone with a friend from a previous job, and she's a type where tons of stuff is always going wrong in her life, and I just do not have the mental space to listen to her shit right now.
Last weekend I did passport applications for a family and the mom was a black female public defender and she was wearing an Auntie Maxine Reclaiming My Time t-shirt and I felt it would be unprofessional to say "hell yeah" but tried to convey that sentiment with my eyes.
I am once again not sleeping because I'm filled with so much rage, and I think I'm getting a cold.
I'm sorry, sj. That blows.
Made it to Dublin. There's a match on at the football stadium nearby, and the pub staff indicate that they'll be flooded when the match ends. I hope I'm out of here before that happens.
I heard a bunch of great music last night, and that was just the pre-event! Am excited for today and tomorrow, where I will be hearing and playing a ton more!! I was ignoring the world, which has been amazing, but listened to some podcasts this morning to make sure my rage doesn't totally go away.
Also, I just heard one of my houseguests say to my cat, "you're going to have to move to Canada - you're a celebrity now." (The houseguest is Canadian.) Hee!
Enjoy Dublin, shrift, but definitely avoid the post football match crowd if at all possible.
I'm at my volunteer job at my library bookstore where I usually get quiet time. Instead I get political conversations raising my blood pressure.
Yay Dublin! Yay music!
OK, I am damn well doing something with today. First stop, breakfast.
