I'm sorry, Maria. How frustrating!
5 minutes of Grassley and Hatch this morning was all I could take. Hornets and wasps.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aargh Maria, that sucks.
I also just want to bury my head in the sand and not know what is going on in America.

Does Flake seriously want to run for president? Is that why he's not running for re-election? If so, he is seriously deluded.

What is even happening?

I think so. I also think he's not all that bright.
He knows he would have lost another bid for the Senate, so he decided to leave when his term is up.
He constantly rails against Trump or at least Trumpism, but votes for everything Trump wants, because he (Flake) is a hard right-wing ideologue who just knows how to talk nice.
I think he has presidential aspirations, and even though he claims a lot not to have the stomach for how the GOP is currently doing business, he constantly carries water for them, because he can't envision running without the national party's support.
He's a waste of viable organs.

Ugh, Maria. How frustrating.
Neither ltc or I slept much last night. Somehow I managed to get her off to school. TCG doesn't work a full day on Friday. So, he's picking her up. I'm currently drinking all the tea and cursing the fact that Grey's Anatomy isn't available on demand yet.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My stress level was so high last night while Tim was in class that I spent 90 minutes vacuuming the whole house (normally vacuuming is Tim's job, but I was bursting with angry-bees energy and had to do something). And by "whole house," I mean all the floors/rugs, all the walls, all the doorframes/molding/tops of doors, and the blades of the ceiling fan.
Getting the walls, doorframes, and blades of the ceiling fan meant that I needed to lift the vacuum body with one hand and use the hose with the other. It's a Shark, so it's relatively light as far as vacuums go, but I am actually sore today.
I think I should market it as a new workout.

Because books.
That's impressive, Steph.
Maria, I'm so sorry. They're idiots.

I wish my stress was that productive, Steph.
