First, Life:
I’ve been experiencing severe joint pain since this weekend. Could hardly walk, even with using a walker. As of yesterday, my wrist is also experiencing symptoms of overuse (a natural consequence of sitting in place for hours). I’m wearing a wrist brace (one of the few that fits me - most of those that are in the house are too big, worn out, or otherwise unusable).
I’ll shortly be calling the doctor, to see if I can schedule a quick appointment. If not, I’ll hit the Urgent Care in my plan.
The World:
Little Joey’s performance in the debate should be more than just a wake-up call for the Dems. We need to be alert to potentially threatening moves by foreign nations, or their embedded citizens in this country.
As the Chinese used to say, In Crisis, There is Opportunity.
About the best I can say about the world situation is that most countries are far more concerned about the restlessness and potential threat from their own subjects/citizens/peons to waste a lot of time contemplating a takeover of America.
Time:
The natural state of the universe is Entropic - always decaying to a lower, less organized state. I see this in my house - no sooner do I clean and organize, then the state of the house starts decaying into chaos.
Of course, it does help that I live with a man whose attention issues are well-known, and who delights in half-doing chores - he cooks, but leaves an UnGodly mess. He will vacuum, but fail to put the furniture back in place (and, with my current joint issues, I cannot pick up the slack). He will separate papers into categories on every surface, but leave them on those flat surfaces forever. The concept of completing the process by filing or scanning the paper seems to escape him.
I’m not saying this to trash him. It is part of the whole package that makes him who he is. It’s just that, right now, I’m incapable of doing the final cleanup job. Very frustrating.
But, compared to many people, I am indeed blessed. He is unfailingly proactive, handling many chores long before I notice they need done - lawn, cars, household maintenance, shopping for essentials (and, always making sure to pick up some special treats for me - and the dog).
Life is like that. Few of us are perfect. A healthy way to approach interactions is to assume that the other person is equally well-meaning.
Well, unless the other person is a Leftist. Those people NEVER mean well, no matter what they say.
I will speak to God on your behalf.
