Schadenfreude Alert

So, yeah. I read the news from Washington this morning, over breakfast.

So, yeah. Schadenfreude. And a lot of worry right next to that on my emotional plate today. So the gloating I'm tempted to right now is tempered.

WORDS: Acedia

Words of Caution re: Trump and COVID-19

Two words in particular:

"President Pence".

That's my fear.

Some Other Stuff

Three jobs applied for today. Tried for a fourth, but couldn't log into the website properly for that company. Still waiting for the password reset e-mail half an hour later.

Oh, I might be looking for a new place for me and my personal library to live starting next January.

"Might?" Probably will be. Long story, not all of it mine to share. Not right now, anyway. Not going to count on lottery money showing up to save anyone's day, let alone mine. But, yeah, this adds a little urgency for unloading some of my collections.
