 There is dog shit on my $500 shoes. I didn't spend $500, but they are listed as such - and I don't always stand outside in November and rake up dog shit, but when I do, I'm wearing a sweater dress and London FLY platform loafers. It's just such a reflection of my life - trying to look nice, get shit done, and maximize my time while all anyone else sees is poop on my shoes. One wonders why one bothers.

 The morning after Trump was elected for the second time is perhaps not the best time to write.  But still, I'm in awe of the stupidity of the American public - the absolute shock that they'd believe in and vote for someone clearly lying and refusing to take ownership of anything.  The fact that they'd rather a felon than a woman - that rights in America will continue to decline - and the lingering worry that populism and fascism is headed this way. And then one of the founders of home depot dies and we're all sad - only no one is sad to see a billionaire republican who was funding trump die.  a terrible man who used "woke" like a slur, and said socialism will ruin capitalism (let's hope so)..  i'm not sad.   And a job I thought I had a really good chance at - didn't even get an interview.  Not even a conversation, while a friend (who I hope gets it) has his interview and the world just keeps moving on. And I'm stuck here, caregiving.  Not ha...
