try to get a grip on myself and work through some negative political obsessions I have been having since the announcement of She Who Will Not Be Named as Vice President. After the high energy excitement of the Democratic National Convention here in Denver, and my ever-increasing shock over this nomination, I have not trusted myself to speak or write about anything because I am overwhelmingly scared about the upcoming election, which is going to be just as close as the last two have been. I am glad I will be out of the country (in Mexico) the first week of November.
I CAN say I've been finding an awful lot to wonder about in the last three weeks, but it's not goodstuff, and I don't want to taint my wonder-blog with it all.
I am trying to stop reading and listening to all the negative stories on both sides, and focus instead on things like the sweet delicate beauty of my canna rose, blooming for about the fifth time this summer - and always, the cats. Here is little Smokey in bliss state:
The cats turned 3 in June, and I cannot remember life without them.
I'm so bummed because I have to work on Thursday night at the Cathedral and won't get home until about 9. I'll catch the she who is not named and Biden debating on CNN later.
I've been terrorized (not now) about the worsening economic horrors. Thank God I am partially retired. I feel so sorry for people who are near to drawing retirement. My poor sis in WA is beside herself and she has long been retired.
