Three things for Sunday

1. Cleaned out the fridge today. 🤮 I loathe that job. It needed to be done for a while, but I'd been avoiding the task. Since dh was back east this weekend I just went ahead and did it. Perry helped me by doing the annoying deed of drying the plastic stuff and putting it back in. I can never get the drawers to click in properly so over the years, I've given up trying and pass the task on to others.

2. I was supposed to go up to Vancouver to see my aunt today but... she caught norovirus and I chickened out. She should be out of isolation tomorrow, if all goes well. I figured I could keep myself safe with a mask and being very very careful for a short visit, but with a three hour or so drive (plus border wait times) the visits tend to be longer and I just didn't want to risk it. I feel terrible. Next weekend I'm in Bend -to visit my mom- and then I'll be up in Vancouver again the weekend after. I'm glad dh and I went last weekend. We had such a good visit.

3. I cannot even begin to describe the horror and dread I feel about what is happening in this country. It's almost incomprehensible how fast we're sliding down a slope that we may never be able to climb back up. At the very least, we've lost standing in the world as a partner and China and Russia must be very pleased with the situation. Elon Musk has bought himself a country, just like he bought Tesla and SpaceX, and it only cost him 200 million and whatever he paid for Twitter.
