I was already having a pretty good day. Zee qualified for transportation to his eye doctor appointments that are twice a week until the cornea-eating bacterial infection he contracted clears up. I haven’t written about that, but it’s been a time sink for me since he went in the hospital two and a half weeks ago, and when I’m not working, I’m not making money to pay my own bills. So that was good news.
It also turns out that he found a charity that would pay for glasses for him, and they’ll be delivered in a week or less, and then he’ll actually be able to make a little money to pay the $3 each way fee that the transportation people charge.
It was really a good day.
And then TRUMP GOT INDICTED FOR JAN 6TH!!!!
I knew I’d be happy, but I’m really surprised at how happy I am. It’s like the opposite of how suprised I was at how kicked in the gut I felt when he got elected. That seriously fucked me up for quite some time. I remember praying, and I’m not religious, that I’d wake up one morning when the thought, “Oh, fuck, Trump got elected. We’re doomed,” wasn’t the first thing that ran through my head. It was awful.
And now I’m surprised at how happy I feel. Like really, really happy! !! !!! I know it’s not all said and done, but this is huge for me. I feel hope. I feel energized. There will be many who can’t relate, but for those that do…
HAPPY INDICTMENT DAY!!!!

(PS — Here’s the backstory on Zee. It’s been a helluva ride with him since I wrote that two months ago, but he’s managing, I’m managing, and I don’t think we could have done it without the support of this community!)
