Maybe a seeming shift back to center...?

I don't know if it's the season, the hour shift, or what, but I've had a string of unsettled, anxious dreams. It's annoying. I know, in my waking hours, that I'm a competent, capable human. Not so in my dreams. While the setting changes, the feeling remains: I'm uncomfortably in charge of whatever the situation is, and it's always me bumbling along while other people depend on me. It's exhausting. And it's always in a position of defense, so I'm woefully unprepared. Every night. I need a gallon of coffee.

That said, I have my long day at work today. Of course. It'll be fine, and my daughter announced that she will be making dinner tonight (HOSANNA!!), so I can focus on some of the niggling little things that are on my eternal to-do list, like packaging returns to send back to companies. And getting those lights up outside before it really gets too cold.

And I should mention, there's snow happening, and it's windy out. Bleah. 

I sure hope that whatever celestial misalignment is happening sorts itself out-- I need some actual sleep. 

That said, it seems that, at least in a few states, the Grand Misalignment has shifted back closer to sane-- Virginia, especially. And Ohio. I can't quite bring myself to be hopeful, but it's nice to see that not all states are crumbling under the weight of abject incivility and fear-pressure from the MAGA skunks. 

Maybe if the country shifts back to a more centrist position, my chattery brain will, too? 

Have a good day,
