Quarantine Journal - Free Writing

Heather encouraged me to write. I don't know what to do with it, so I guess I will leave it here.  When you read this, please know that I am your mother.  I love you, and I never have wanted to nor will I ever feel a need to run away from you.  You are my everything, and what you are reading below is a stress purge.  I love your father as well, and though things are stressful and tense, we will figure out a way to get back on the same side again soon, I hope. Love, Mom --- Run away.   It's not the first time I've heard this voice today.  I know it will not be the last.  It seems to be increasing on a daily basis.  Just run .  The fight or flight instinct has been activated, only I'm tired of fighting and there is nowhere to run to.   In one way or another, I suppose we spend our entire lives fighting.  But this last year especially; it was the year of battles.  Fight to stay alive.  Fight to protect my family. When the plumbing broke, I was fighting to get us back in th...

Quarantine Journals - Impeachment

On Wednesday, President Trump was impeached for the second time. The debate and boats went on all day long. I spent the day on and off listening to the speeches and crying. I could not listen to a single one of them without weeping. I didn't expect to get that emotional, but obviously I did. And then there were the speeches by the people saying that we just needed unity and to move forward, and that was like a whole new level of devastation. Oh, did I mention that several senators are now coming down with Covid because they were in a safe room with Republicans who refuse to put masks on? So they held the vote at the end of the day, and only 10, maybe 17? Republicans voted to impeach him. The rest of them either didn't vote, or voted against impeachment. All the Democrats voted for impeachment. Mitch McConnell says he's in sport in support of impeachment but that he won't bring the Senate back into session to do the hearings. Which means that it won't actually go thr...

Quarantine Journal - Website, Coup, Collapse of our government

Image
Chronologically, I will just jump in here with the update because it has been a horrific first week of 2021. Tuesday, during my therapy session I received an email from my web guy, Paul.  He is quitting.  They are putting some kind of tax on him in the UK that makes continuing his business impossible, and he doesn't feel like my project aligns with his long term goals, and so he is basically walking away.  We have been working on this website for 10 freaking months, and it is no where near where it should be for that insane amount of time, not even if you give 50% away for covid.  I am utterly floored that this is basically happening again.  The beginning of the year, and I am shit out of luck on finishing a website that someone started and then half ass worked on for nearly a year.  I contacted Tom, who didn't have much to say. He had a meeting with Paul early this morning, and we had a brief chat tonight, but all to say not much of anything.  He needs to review the site and f...
