Bad Bad World

It's funny, this country. 

I look at my facebook feed, my friends list, and I would say it is a 90% Harris vs. 10% Trump split. The Harris folks were all "be kind, do justice for the marginalized, love everyone." The Trumpies were all pictures of Harris as a piece of shit in a toilet getting flushed, "Joe and the Hoe" jokes, and Trump as some sort of blessed and protected by Jesus deified figure.

I went to an evangelical college, so if you look at that bunch of humans, we actually had people who were siding more on the side of the gospel with the former and a lot less on the side of the gospel with the latter, well. Yeah. 

It's all rather exhausting. And if I didn't need to be paying attention for work, I would not be paying attention. And I'm trying not to have arguments with people. And I'm trying not to just mute or block.  I just feel like it is going to get worse though. 

Work today was interesting. We were going to split shifts again, if things were bad but nothing is bad and everything's fine. Except that the world is breaking around us. I actually had several meetings that were scheduled from 1pm onward so splitting my shift would not have worked. 

After my last meeting ended at 4:30, I took the dog for a walk, Doug had a 5pm meeting and she hasn't gone on a good walk for a couple days. She took me for a walk is more like it. I put on Guster's "Easy Wonderful" and the songs just made me feel so good.

 "There is love, there is peace in this world. So take it back, say it's not what you thought..."

It isn't such a bad, bad world.

And that's what I'm going to stand beside. Standing in the dark, waiting up for the light.
