So I got home from work,
I’m sitting around, watching Odd Squad with my kid, and now it’s time for the news. I just found out Mary Tyler Moore died today.
And Trump ordered the start of that stupid wall.
What a sad, sucky waste of a day.
A little bit of the light has gone and what is further dimmed by a stupid idea that won’t work anyway.
I can relate to your post.
I woke up at 3:00 this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. Felt like a zombie all day. Heard the news about MTM while I was eating lunch. Came home and took a nap, but that only increased the zombie feeling. Then I read all the articles and tributes about her and that made me sadder about her death and also took me back to her show(s), which I grew up and grew into adulthood with. Then read some more utter incomprehensible bullshit spewed by our so-called president… yeah, billions of dollars to build the stupid, fucking wall is a real smart use of the money. :smack: Now I’m in a mood that I can’t even put a label on, but a lingering, sinking feeling is a big component of it.

Wish I could say the news will be better tomorrow, but…
I haven’t seen the sun in at least a week, and a bag of spice drops failed to work their magic. The gloom managed to get even gloomier when I read that one of the many orders of former Pres. Obama overturned by the current Oval Office occupant would have further restricted the ongoing abuse of Tenessee Walker horses. Minor in the whole scheme of things but major to horse lovers who have been trying for years to stop the abuse. The restriction would have gone into effect today.
MTM was one of the best. At least she’ll be spared the next four years.
Damn about the horses! :mad: It’s not minor. You can tell a lot about people’s (and a society’s) character by the way they treat animals. Damn.
