Moody Monday: This Too Shall Pass


This too shall pass, hopefully not too much like a kidney stone. HWSNBN returns to town today.  I really thought we would be rid of the parasite, but like the common cold, he has made a comeback.  

In all great likelihood, I will outlive the SOB.  Congress is frustratingly dysfunctional, and odds are they will screw things up so badly that many of them will lose in the election two years from now (all members of the House and 1/3 of the Senate will be up in 2026.)

I will assiduously avoid his smirking face. I will skip the "news" stories. I will write. I will vote. I will encourage like minded people to not give up hope.  Odds are it won't take long for HWSNBN to become the most hated man in town again.  

If I go out today, it might be to ride the subway to the airport and back.  The billionaires private jets will be parked in double rows at the south end of the field. That can be fun to see.  I will see how I feel and how the weather is.  

In the meantime, I will get my treadmill and pool time in, read my blogs, and enjoy a quiet life.  Waiting, for this too shall pass.

  1. I won't be watching any news or the tv today. I will just enjoy the day and the words of Martin Luter King Jr. Shame his day shares it with the like of this.

  2. Hail The Mighty Emperor of The Americas! He who knoweth all things, he who can solveth all problems! The electric sparks of power bolt from his fingertips. He is Zeus! He is Odin! He is Ra! And so peace and prosperity shall floweth across The Earth and all shall be good again. Arise ye Golden One!

    1. What if the electric comes from wind power?

    2. Well, as I have said before, in England to "trump" means to fart... wind power.

  3. Our TV is off for the day; no news, maybe some HGTV later.
    Besides it's MLK Day not WTF Day.

    1. A great day to play games and amuse ourselves. That us amuse, not abuse. I like your post today.

  4. MLK represents the best of America; DJT the worst.

    1. I have a feeling I am going to be saying, Sorry I didn't vote for him" a lot when I travel internationally for the next few years.

  5. It's heartening to know that I'm not the only one who won't be watching this madness begin again. We all need to do things that make us happy.

  7. Yes - take that subway ride to the airport to view all the fancy jets. I for one would like to see that sight. Getting out and about to see new things brings down the stress level.

    1. We ended up going out to lunch, and driving past the airport, there were fewer jets than when Congress is having a sale, or the pentagon is being wooed.

  8. I feel your pain. I can't stand the sight of him.

  9. I began to watch the coverage but shortly into HWSNBN's speech I realized it was just a hate-filled campaign speech and quit. So sad to have President Biden and Vice President Harris have to sit there and listen to that.

  10. Avoided the whole shit show Monday, but can't shake this non-stop feeling of dread.
