19 Minutes a Day

Many days have passed since I've dropped in. Covid numbers are spiking again. This creates a general anxiety in the air. Something about the air itself not being safe to breathe is inherently unsettling. Invisible little enemies dancing about in our good clean oxygen.  There is a mild spike happening even here in the "atrlantic bubble". I had been feeling fairly safe from it all but our own safe haven is now developing a little outbreak. We booked flights home for Christmas. I have a gut feeling we won't make it. I have a gut feeling things will keep getting worse and we'll be stuck here.  It's not the worst thing on earth, just a bummer. I have a nephew that's 1 year and 2 months old whom I have never met. We got stuck in Serbia for 8 months. We had two quarantines. Now finally, our chance to go meet the little baby boy and BAM outbreak. His name is Elliot and he seems incredible.

 Impressive how bad I could be at this. I didn't even last a week of writing here every day. In slightly better news, I did actually write every day. Just not creatively. In other better news, Donald Trump is no longer president. The fact that he was at all and that all of that just actually happened?! The fact it was 4 years and he lost by a very narrow margin!?! Joe Biden, a semi-senile old white politician who hugs little girls too long is now president. His vice president is an Indian-Black woman. That part is neat. Anybody could have rep[laced Donald Trump and things would at least turn back to tolerable. The noise of the last 4 years has been insurmountable. All we can hope is that it at least shed light on issues that need attention?!1?!/  I'm not sure if much will come from it. It is America after all. Half of the population likes it better the other way.  Racism is a silly and pointless thing. A measure of ego.  How much time we've wasted on destruction....
