Changes, Weekends and Cleaning
Nov. 8th, 2020 05:08 pmI spent most of yesterday not tweeting about the Biden/Harris win, which was kind of unexpected but makes sense. I think part of it was due to just feeling so constantly stressed and irritated over the last four years, and when the news broke yesterday morning, my reaction was just...relief. It felt like whatever had been gripping the back of my neck since late 2016 had finally relented. It felt like I could just live without being on constant alert. We finally had someone who would not gleefully inspire hatred and violence. I don't claim to be the smartest person in the room but my fucking god, I was so far ahead of that fuckwit the entire time. So instead, I spent the entirety of Saturday just basking in the positive news, the celebration and the relief of everyone else. We still have a long way to go, not only cleaning up all the shit he's caused but moving forward from it as well, and I hope we'll have a better chance to do it this time.
I do of course have a few thoughts about it all, but I figured what I really needed to do was just...experience it first.
Meanwhile, not much else happened this weekend except a bit of shopping and house cleaning. We're doing a bit of book purging in preparation for my donation to the SF Public Library a few weeks from now, and I'm also gathering more things to donate to Goodwill when I have the chance. I'm still kinda sorta sticking to the whiteboard schedule, which is fine. I'm finally letting myself sink back into a few routines here and there, knowing full well that they're not habits but chores and projects to keep me from distraction. [This does kind of sound like I'm finally accepting and understanding that I may have ADD, and one of the things I'd been thinking of doing was getting tested. I'd wanted to do it earlier but, y'know, pandemic and all. I figured I'd let the bigger issue pass and calm down a bit first.]
As for this coming week, no big plans other than digging in my heels on a few writing projects that need more heel-digging!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! :)
