 It was our two year house-iversary yesterday. 2 years ago we pulled up with 2 cats and cooler full of fish and began the new chapter of our lives here. How the world has changed in just two years. How I've changed in just two years. I'd like to think I am a better human being. More patient with those I care about, less patient with those who are blatantly wrong, and finding out where I belong in this strange world. Like then, the snow is starting to fall. Just flakes right now. But indicative of what's to come over the next few weeks for sure. Soon the ground will be covered once more. My leaf guy should be coming this week. I hope he gets here before everything has turned to mush. We shall see. 

Taught all day. Internal group which is good because this was inherited material that really needs a lot of work still. Needs polishing. But I made it through without too much incident. It's always easier to stumble and fall in front of those who are less likely to judge. I am glad we're doing these internal classes for that very reason. 

Didn't finish until after 6. Same thing today - 10-6 class. Remember when my schedule was consistent? Yeah, me neither. I am just glad to be fully engaged this week. It lets me ignore everything else and makes doing my timesheet so much easier. 

Had fish sticks and mac and cheese for dinner. Comfort food needed. Quick and easy food needed too. It did the trick.

4:25am, B sent me a message. Ambulance across the street. One of the old people must not be doing well. Despite what I just said in the opening paragraph, my money is on COVID. They constantly have people over at that house, I never see any of them in masks, and something tells me they are stubborn old people who won't be told what to do. Sorry not sorry if you got the 'rona. It's a shame if someone over there has died, but when it's a preventable death, it's hard to empathize or feel pity. That's my feeling for a LOT of the people who have died. Not all mind you. Because I am not stupid. I know there are a good number of folks like our friend who no work equals no roof, no life, no nothing. These people don't have a choice. But you know, THE ECONOMY! As long as Senator Palpatine, I mean McConnell, is around, there will be no stimulus or the much needed nationwide shutdown. We as a state are going into a modified shutdown starting Wednesday. Modified because the governor has had their hands tied by republican leadership and they've stripped her of executive powers. She can only do so much while these 'freedumb' loving idiots still roam. So if the person across the street is dead or sick because of COVID, well, maybe you shouldn't have had 20 people over a day? Maybe tell your kids and grandkids to wear a mask when they come visit? Maybe follow the safety protocols and there won't be an ambulance at your door at 4am?

Logic captain. What a concept.
