I am the first to admit that I am old and don't always understand things. But the logic of some people is just so lost on me that I can't grasp how they think they are being helpful. Case in point - the shut down of major bridges and roadways the other day. In multiple states protestors shut down freeways and commuter areas in support of Palestine. Good cause? Of course. BUT who really suffered? Did anyone in the government suffer? Did anyone in Israel suffer? No. It was your average day to day worker who paid the price. I get where you think you're doing something good, but did you think of the repercussions of your actions? Did you think about the worker who you may have caused to lose their job? Think about that for a second. Someone who is an hour or two late for work. They are fired from their job because of that. Or maybe the surgeon you kept in traffic who was late to a life saving surgery. Your self righteous actions defending people on foreign soil had the wrong impact on people right at home. How does this solve anything? How does this help anything? What about someone dropping their kids at school? Or a nanny on her way to watch someone's kids? In your clouded judgement you caused more harm than good to your neighbors and friends. Nothing you did helped the people of Palestine. Nothing. My two cents.

Had another decent work day. Had meetings around upcoming training. 60k deal. Oh look, training is once again the cash cow for the company while everyone else flounders. Gee, I am so surprised. C worked a night shift so I worked in the basement. Got the back wall painted, the giant table moved in there, and got the backsplash done. I ran out of paint so when I get around to ordering the flooring, I will order another gallon of paint. Finish it all in one fell swoop. It's looking much better in there and I am happy. I need to do some more re-arranging, but it's almost done.

I am sore and achy from everything but feel accomplished. Today I am getting a manicure for my trip next week. Have to look presentable. Stopping at Old Navy to find some new clothes too. I am feeling fat and bloated and nothing fits. No food all week for me.
