We get fixated
by things we have no control over. The
insurrection that has happened this week has absorbed my wife and me. We
have been glued to the television and ranting about the Republican Party of
Donald Trump – but to no avail.
This morning
I read the blog of Yooper Has Left Crackerland. He lives somewhat off the grid in northern Michigan on the upper peninsula, and posted about having to fix his snow plow that he
depends on for access to the outside world.
This
reminded me that life goes on. I got
early up this morning and fed the cats.
My wife was still in bed so I worked out on my Total Gym. I
spent some time reading and then had a good crap. I put on a white bread recipe in my new Cuisinart
bread machine. Now my wife is up, we
will have breakfast and life will go on – not from outrage at insurrection to
resolution – but just go on.
Sometimes fixing the snow plow is the most important thing you can do in that day.
We are living our daily routine isolated
during a deadly pandemic, and fixating over things we have no control over is
not healthy. The outcome of our political
disquiet will be what it will be. We
should probably keep that noise in the background and just focus on fixing the
snow plow.

crap..I think I deleted my post.
ReplyDeleteyup. I got a robot vacuum cleaner, it's better than a cat. It's very entertaining and fun to watch and it doesn't shit it a box or have to be fed. Life goes on.
ReplyDeleteWe're not off the grid, but we can see where it ends.
