Just Catching Up

Okay – not really, just emptying my brain

You can understand without agreeing.

I am of course talking about Trump followers. I recently noticed that when Trump posts obviously inaccurate statements he now credits the source. I think this is an interesting look at his personality. I know people who do this. The pushing the blame onto someone else if you caught.

I understand the people who vote for him despite:
Wild nepotistic appointments – yes – but he will fix the economy
Ridiculous Narcissist behavior – yes – but he will stand up to everyone and get things done.
Appointments to key positions of people who can help him – yes – but he will clean up the government.
I think you can tell yourself that his faults are not as important as his actions will be, regardless of his faults.
Do I agree with this? No. 100% no. I think there are people, somewhere, who can hold office who also have integrity and compassion and will try to keep all people safe. I also do not think he will do any of the things he promised, but obviously some people do.
I think about It the same as I think about a psychiatrist., 👩🏼‍⚕️ they can understand the way a someone with massive mental health issues thinks even though they do not have the same issues.

Okay – back to less controversial things

Insomnia cycle
I spent a week on the wake at 4am cycle – and then two days ago it switched to 1am. I am getting a lot of podcasts listened to but really not enjoying it. I wish so much that there was a quick and easy and drug free way to stop this. Sorry – not asking for advice. I have been this way for a very long time and have tried so many things. Not helping the whole holiday atmosphere

I BOUGHT A NEW PHONE!

I am a Motorola person. I have just always had such good luck with them. Many years ago I switched to buying the Moto G Power line of phones. They are inexpensive and the battery lasts just a ridiculously long time. Because they are so inexpensive I could get out my need for new tech by buying a new one every couple of years without guilt. But….The Razr. I have wanted a Razr since they reintroduced with the foldable. But have talked myself out of it because honestly I do not use my phone that much. But I did it. I bought one last week and it gives me a happy little warm spot whenever I see it.

Doctor

Yesterday my doctor and I ended up singing during our appointment and then he hugged me. It was awesome.

Reincarnation

When I feel bad, physically, from the drugs occasionally I think I do not want to do this anymore and I realized the other day that my brain 🧠 also thinks next time I will do it different.
I think this is probably how religions are still a thing. People need to know that maybe after this life things will be better.
And then the side effects wear off and I am all back to normal.

Timing

I was going to drive someplace today that I do not normally drive and I just looked up and the morning news was showing a huge traffic backup in the area and they traffic guy said “and it will be like this for some time” . The timing of this is quirky! What are the odds that a few hours ago I was picturing the route in my head and then suddenly it is on my tv saying – no, do not go that way.

Okay, time to go workout and see if it gives me some oomph to get through at least the morning.

I was going to upload a random image of something I have taken a picture of recently and look at the first one I saw! My phone! :)☎️

    Glad you are enjoying your phone! Also glad that it is not so expensive. I would love a new phone but was imprinted on Apple, and they are just outrageous amounts of money. I don’t think I have ever had the latest model and rarely a new one, but a girl can dream!

    I am still in disbelief that we are looking at a new reign of terror from a Trump administration. In fact, even worse than the last one because now he has more people that somehow believe/kowtow to him. I try not to think about it too much because talk about sleepless nights, if I do!

    You get so used to life being a certain way, but really it takes less than I thought to make it all vanish, or be warped out of all imagining.

    Due to a drug I take, I also am plagued with odd wakings. I am not a fan. You can never feel fully refreshed after a night like that. I do like the one truck someone posted of thinking of a word, and then taking it letter by letter, come up with as many words as you can, fully visualizing them. Usually I can’t past the first two letters, rarely three, before I fall asleep. It might not last long, but it’s something. Really I need to try to sleep earlier, rather than later. Even if I wake up early, I tend to get more consecutive hours of sleep in per night.

    Brains are so weird; and so much of the flavor of our lives really boils down to attitude and how we poise our brains to view and interact with the world.

    1. I’m sorry, I did not say it clearly. I could have bought 4 of my cheap phones for the cost of my new one. It’s the most expensive phone I have ever bought. That’s why it took me a year. My husband and kids are all apple users and I use an iPad at home but I just love my Motorola phones. 🙂
      I do a lot of visualization tricks to fall back asleep too. Frequently they work, but like you I wake up frequently. When it is bad it’s every 20 minutes or so. Brain just does not work on that sleep pattern.
