there are way too many of them in the military, police, Secret Service, and so on.
I had one of my team in my office today telling me that she's been having trouble trusting anyone in a uniform since the coup attempt.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I live a block away from a police station, and it's not been good for my anxiety. On my run yesterday, I ran past 2 cops putting their kit in their car. One of them cleared the chamber of his shotgun (as he should, so yay for gun safety), and I went into a panic attack. So that was fun.

Oh juliana, no fun. I'm sorry.
I have cut down my news watching. Not total withdrawal, but trying to limit to a small dose 3 times a day. DH would have it running all day long, but I am winning the remote wars.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Holy Shirtballs, my boss is retiring in a month and did not tell me. The rest of Sr Staff was told yesterday. WTAF!
AND given where things are with (waves hands) and some big projects the Dept is working on, there is no way interviews and stuff are going to happen fast enough to have a replacement in before she leaves, so no transition. FUCK!

Happy birthday, msbelle!

One of those odd birthday days when I have at least 4 friends celebrating. A dear cousin of DH with the same name as my son turns 49; he has 5! young children to smoother him with kisses. One of my dearest basketball sons turns 29. And an awesome family friend who is 24. All of them really sweet nice good people. It must have been a good day for birthing people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
