What's Happening

An entity alleging godhood has claimed responsibility for the bolts of lightening which struck the Capital and the Washington Monument last night. The "god" left a statement saying that this was just a warning shot to the U.S.

What provoked this action? There’s the genocide of the people native to this land, all the enslavement, Jim Crow, KKK, etc. shit, the heinously cruel and absurd misogyny crimes and NOW we’ve reelected Donnie Dipshit, the felonious rapist, racist, conman, and Putin flunky to the highest office in the land?! Yeah, the gods are sick of our insanity and hate.

They’ve had enough and won’t be tolerating much more. Can you blame them? I surely can’t.

Who exactly left the note? Was it Indra, Hindu god of lightning with his trusty thunderbolt, Vajra ? Norse god Thor and his faithful buddy Mjölnir? Zeus, Greek god of lightning and king of the gods? Fulgora, Roman goddess of lightning? Raijin, Japanese god of thunder, lightning, and storms? Possibly the wee missive was left by the christian’s god. Who can say? It’s not like it was signed or maybe the lightning was the signature.

COULD be that the strikes on the Capital and monument were a unanimously approved Gods and Goddesses Union action. I rather suspect this is the case.

Here in Valhalla, how did we mark the end of 2024? I didn’t throw any bolts but I did have an excellent physical therapy session. After my last unfortunate time I decided to just see how things went. Would my PT be an asshole again? Would she be treating me like a dimwit once more? If so, I figured I’d just halt the session, state that we didn’t seem to communicate well, and that it would be best if I saw a different therapist. Calm, direct, brief. Also, happily, unnecessary. Maybe, last time I was in, Amy was just having a truly wretched day? Possibly I remind her of a hated auntie from childhood. Who knows?

Afterwards, the two Valhallan households got Mexican take-out and watched Earth Girls Are Easy. I hadn’t watched it since it first came out in 1988. That’s 36 years ago! Damn, I feel old. The flick was dated but still fun. One of my favorite bits was Julie Brown’s song 'Cause I'm A Blonde. Also, I may have mentioned this before but, Jeff Goldblum is quite the handsome fellow. Woof!

What’s the main business that I accomplished in ’24? I didn’t die. Pretty neat huh?

I had dental surgery in May. Later the same month I had a huge fucking tumor removed from the front of my brain (eighth all time bean op and third since 2020). Recovery’s been slow as frozen molasses rolling uphill in January. I’m seven months post-op and not where I want to be physically...YET.

But HEY, I’m alive AND rolling.
