It's a Brand New Day

I woke up to these headlines:

Biden sets to work on reversing Trump policies with executive orders

Biden rejoins Paris climate accord, works to overturn Trump’s climate policies

AND

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff Wore Ralph Lauren for the Inauguration

I’m relieved and thrilled but, regarding that last headline, I’m kind of giggly giddy.
Yes, we also know who Dr. Jill Biden was wearing (Markarian) but the point here is that BOTH the Second Gentleman and the First Lady’s designer apparel were covered. Equally.

Also, Dr. Biden and Doug Emhoff will BOTH be teaching while gigging as First and Second Spouse.Ya know, I’ve got a sneaky suspicion that education is gonna have a whole different, higher priority under our new President. 

It’s a new day. For the first time in more than four years I feel hope.

We’ve been in an abusive, gaslighting, bullshit relationship with our government for four+ years. The idiots, seditionists and greedheaded lying sacks of rabid weasel shit are still out there, of course. They’re like insane street preachers, hollering for attention and power.

This time around, how ‘bout we STARVE those shitheels of the press they crave. Yes, investigate and report on their crimes but if they’re standing on a soapbox, tantruming out obscene and ridiculous lies and manipulations, shrieking for the spotlight, just walk on by.

 Don’t feed the motherfucking trolls. Don't hand the mic and klieg lights to another fascist narcissist.

I need to adjust to this new reality where each day doesn’t bring a new shocking horror. I now have more bandwidth available to me, more energy. I can think about more than just survival. I can read news from other countries again. Today, doing my PT and other exercising, doesn’t feel like I’m gonna be climbing Denali. MAYBE, in time, I’ll even be able to read books that aren’t all about funny vampires, witches, space traveling janitors and alien squid. Huh. Yes, it CAN happen. 

Yesterday was a big-ass day for another mega important reason. Jen, Ten, Oni and I watched the season two finale of The Mandalorian. I don’t want to give anything away, no spoilers (I know, how unusual of me), BUT… I am just shattered that production of season three won’t even begin until next year – 2022! How’m I supposed to survive that long without a Grogu fix – HMMMMMM!?
