It struck me this morning, hard. I kept thinking something would prevent it from really happening. Now, nothing can change that he is #45, even if he were to get smited today, he’d still officially be POTUS 45. I didn’t want that to be true.

Health update in my house:
Child #3 woke up with enough of a fever I had to keep him home. Besides lots of mucus, there’s little other sign he’s sick. Appointment for him this afternoon.
Wife had been battling Strep, but also just got diagnosed with a Sinus Infection. She feels great.
I have pneumonia (still), and today I woke up to find I’d also acquired a stomach bug of some sort.
Today is going really, really well.

This Mexico City Policy same old story business is depressing me today.

So it’s either a drained battery, or a bad starter. Hope is the battery… AAA on their way…

One can look at it that way, but if today’s events have somehow made it more likely that he will gain a second term or less likely to be impeached, well…
I’m a regular ray of sunshine today.

The source of the name is in the link – I think I’ve heard the poem before, but I’d forgotten it:
7 Cups of Tea, by Lu Tong (795 - 835 CE)
The first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island.

It was the battery, AAA got it started - courtesy footwell-lights stayed on due to a bad switch in a passenger door. Known issue with the door, the lights staying on is new, though. I slammed it about 10 times and they finally went out.

Still sucks, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to replace a battery than a starter (did you end up doing that or just recharged it and fixed the switch?). The same happened with my mom’s new car not too long ago, although in that case, it was just a bad battery rather than a bad switch in the system.

Just a jump, and slammed the door a lot. I’m looking into getting the switch fixed, or removing the lights. They’ve tried to fix it before.

Ugh… good luck on getting it fixed. I wonder why they weren’t able to do so before now?

Passed a bridge jumper today a few minures before he went. He was standing on the wall screaming at the cops. Thankfully I didn’t see him go. Doesn’t effect me, but I’m going to go ahead and leave a “fuck today” right here for him and his family.
That’s the third one (out of five? Jesus.) in three months I’ve passed the immediate afterwards/actual jumper. The heart-wrenching one was getting stopped right next to the scene shortly after the husband had gottten there.
So much pain out there.

Just learned that if you lose money on the sale of your house, you can’t deduct it on your taxes.
UNLESS, of course, you can afford multiple houses to rent out or speculate on, in which case go ahead and claim the loss.
We literally lost more money on the house than I made this year.
I am not even kidding when I say I could murder someone right now.
