awoken

if it wasn't vaguely sexual sounding I would post on fb that Jamie woke me up at 1:15 this morning to tell me "It's 6:15, time to line up the putt." then he pat my ass and went back to sleep.

He does not at all recall. And it really wasn't sexual, I guarantee he really was dreaming about playing golf....smh...heh.

Moving on...my friend N who's never voted and doesn't "feel her vote would matter either way."  asked why I still consider joining the protest this weekend even after what happened last week.
I said I felt that now is more important then any other time,
if I knew Jamie wouldn't be a worried madman I would definitely be there.
It's not about anti anybody or thing (for me) so much as feeling there's things going wrong and tired of just ignoring things -  "I'm a thinking human who lives in a troubling world". protesting allows me to know that I'm not alone in feeling that way. FB/online  groups are nothing in comparison.
So no, this time, for my husband, I won't go tomorrow but that's not to say I won't ever go again and doing what I can otherwise.

Speaking of....I did get a letter in the mail from my Texas State rep....of all the things I've written him, he (or his staff) typed a letter back about maternal mortality, it was a pretty cookie cutter response. Still! at least he responded! I've considered going library books shawshank redemption on him... :)

my mini sheldonita played me some old school pattyloveless today...i'm down

today's been a long week

so much going on in the world.
(i've had this sentence as a draft for 3 days)
For lack of a better way to describe it - it looks like the simmering is starting to boil.

Also, I'm not quite sure why people are so shocked at the president's remarks and/or lack of empathy? It wasn't shocking to me...he's shown his colors already, long ago...

Finished
Singh's Silver Silence - much less angsty than her others...got a little irritated with the all the silly-ish bear references (if I'm being honest)
Reid's Beard in Mind - so i liked the uniqueness of it...I've not read a story that discusses real life issues like OCD.
EChase's - Ellie the little sister story - quick read.good.
Also watched Harlot's on Hulu - wonderful acting and really clicks on what I've only imagined in the historicals I've read.

Wrote on my fb groups, reached out to my reps, twitter is blowing up

and....and...really remarking on the books I've read and tv I've watch seems crass...but it helps me. So that's good....
I really wanted to end with a good recall from the past week but I'm weirdly kinda numb right now.
oh...dinner with friends tonight.

retro and recovery

well it was supposed to be a stay at home weekend but Saturday Jamie and I test drove a truck for him,
then we went for margaritas and snacks,
which led to another place for drinks and snacks
and then the w's came and we joined them/their friends for a hip hop cover band.

fun - we lasted about an hour and a half there, lyft'd home annnd passed out by 11:30.
Again recovered Sunday - not miserable though - I'd paced well if I should say so myself!

Apparently I'm on a Penny Reid kick - finished #1-#3 Elements of Chemistry - whereas usually I hate a series to run about the same people - she did well with showing an evolution. 
Great one-liners too.  Soo young though... 
Also read Grin and Beard it - Sienna/Jethro's story - not my favorite of hers (I think that's Cletus? re-reading that one right now for kicks. I actually stayed up way too late reading it and I'm draggin ass) but good. 

Also my Sheldonita was in an 80s (90s?) country kick so we continue the Judds....
