Woah There Nellie

 So yeah, after the events of this week any Zen I had is completely gone. So much so that my nerves are completely fried, I’ve kinda stayed stoned during the day to not deal with the stress of what happened on Wednesday. I even started writing this post from my phone because I am too lazy to get up.

So, Wednesday January 6, 2021 a new date that will live in infamy. Not since the war of 1812 had our capital been stormed. Think about that. In over 200 years. All because an idiot refuses to accept that he lost. I’ve tried to keep politics off my blog, but when someone does something that affects me I have a right to respond. His decision to tell his followers to march down to the capital. Saying he was going too. And his crony lawyer saying trial by combat. What did you think was going to happen? That act sent me and many people, even those who don’t suffer, into a deep, dark place. The kind a lot of people don’t come back from. Trust me I feel the hands trying to pull me down. I’m not a restless person, far from it. I used to consider myself a lazy person. But now I’m on edge and I think a lot of people feel the same way.

I think what scared me the most about the situation is how many people are ok with what happened. Or the ones who say will BLM burned down city blocks during the summer. But you see to the average American the two aren’t even close to the same thing. Both are wrong! One was an assault on racial injustice. The other a domestic terror attack on the United States Capital! Wake up! Sorry!

On the bright side I have out my restless energy into a project I’ve been meaning to tackle at home. I cleaned out our foyer closet which is part of a larger project to turn our kitchen/dining room into a great room. With 7 people living in the house 1 fridge/freezer was just not enough, so we purchased a spare (now I can stock up on meat when I see it on sale) fridge freezer and I put it in the closet next to the pantry. As luck would have it there is already an outlet in the closet (go figure), so I don’t have to use a long extension cord. This is one less thing that I have to do when we start the kitchen redo. Now I just need to finish going through the crap I pulled out of the closet. I’ll finish off the closet when we are doing the kitchen.

Added bonus I found my Black Belt and a hat I had been looking for. But, now my dining room is a mess. Guess you win some and you lose some.

Worked Very Hard For This
