A little schadenfreude (in my opinion) - the tRump campaign is complaining about the money they spent campaigning against Biden and want to be reimbursed (guess they actually paid the bills?). Their early revised campaign materials seem to be focusing on Kamala Harris as a sex object (?).
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

I'm really encouraged by how Dems are coalescing around Harris, and the political conversation has moved on to her VP pick. You know the timing on this has been exquisitely orchestrated, and I sense Biden's hand in that, particularly ramping up the calls to resign the nomination as the RNC convention rambled on.
Also my joy at seeing the Rs discombobulated by this turn of events. That is sweet.

Agreed on all counts, Theo. I'm feeling...hopeful? Is that what this feeling is?

I think I might be, too.

I grinned when I just saw a headline that Schumer and Jeffries just endorsed her. Oh yeah, there's some calculated stage managing going on.
I expect a family might feel this way when a beloved grandfather finally admits the cataracts have gotten bad and gives up their car keys.

I read that Act Blue raised $63 million in one day and there was a Zoom call by Win With Black Women that had 40,000 or more attendees and they raised $1 million during the 4 hour call.
and the AP Says that her campaign raised $81 million in 24 hours smashing records. So let the GOP bitch about the money Biden raised, Harris can raise her own money.
I'm feeling better about this seeing the support around her.

Dramatic. Looking at a few videos. Surprise for the tourists for sure.

EM came by this morning after missing three weeks through various issues.
It really helps so much and it was super productive.
But now I have the afternoon open and I can go rambling for a bit.

I am feeling a lot better not perfect but a lot better.
I hate having meltdowns. I hate that I am this old and they still happen and it was pretty bad. But I figured out a lot of what contributed to it . It's frustrating that things like having to park somewhere different is a tiny thing but it's a change in my routine and there is a lot of that at work and I need to be proactive about.
I made really delicious breakfast tacos this morning. I am going to have a snacky dinner. And tomorrow it's work again
