(AI generated image of a swinging carnival ride at night.) It’s a gray one, probably a rainy one, though I can’t quite tell. I am starting this week out on a note of blah, I don’t know if it’s the weather, mediocre sleep, or all of the above.
I’m still thrilled about VP Harris throwing her hat in the presidential ring, and the first week of her campaign has proven remarkable. Like the Earth stopped turning but is finally going round again.
But on the front that is me, my head is gluey and I just can’t seem to get going this morning. Some days are like that.
Some Mondays are like that.
I’m hoping I’m not heading for a migraine, because those are not what you might call “fun.”
Maybe it’s something in the air today, maybe it’s simply that kind of of Monday, or maybe it’s one of those situations where something that felt like an endless, endless crisis has been resolved and now we’re left with all the feelings that were there and we didn’t have time to address.
There is so much threat and fear surrounding us, and for the last week, we’ve finally seen some sunlight through the bricks in the walls.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Pres. Biden, I think he’s done a spectacular job and continues to do so, but the endless discussion of his age and health while blithely ignoring the existential threat of trump and republicans and SCOTUS and their Project 2025 was exhausting on so many levels.
Gaslighting to the maximum degree, it was very difficult to keep hold of reality while this weird sunny dystopia spun around us, a terrible carnival ride, faster and faster.
The ride is dismantled, the carnies long gone, so it probably makes sense we have to take a moment to steady ourselves and readjust to the normal turning of the planet on its axis.
And I think that’s too much to do all at once on a Monday so I give us all permission to take our time while standing firmly behind our nominee.
Have a great Monday.
