I posted, I don't understand how this race for the presidency is even close! Perhaps it really is true about who we are on this earth.
I truly want to believe that there are more of us who value our system of governance, however flawed it may be, than those who would embrace a fascist, dictatorial regime.
I have to believe our old blogger pal, Hope, when she said there are probably a lot of people who don't want to say publicly who they're voting for, but will Vote Blue when the time comes!
There will be gumbo, a chocolate mousse cake, ice cream, and family here later tonight!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUPER NANA!!
Well, kids, for those of us in the USA we have only 2 more weeks until the election. Two more weeks until we find out if Alexis de Tocqueville was correct when he said:
The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults. When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
Everyone here is borderline paranoid about the outcome. As y'all know, I am an eternal optimist about results and outcomes, no matter how dire the situation, but sweetpeas, I am struggling to see the light. I think that this dark cloud is part of why I'm not blogging as much. I don't know anymore. Part of the fear, is not only the election, but what comes after the election, those days until January 20th, and the future here in the US.
All of that is the quagmire we're in around here.

UPDATE
I just read a great quote that I must share:
The calvary is not coming.
YOU are the calvary.
Saddle up!
I'm holding on to this thought and knowing that I voted to help save the place I call home.
Finally tested negative for COVID!
I couldn't eat for two days and slept almost straight through 3 days! All of this even after being fully boosted! This was, while mild according to medical professionals (which means I wasn't hospitalized), was far worse than the last time! I still feel body weak and haven't really regained my appetite, but given what could have happened I'm grateful. The MITM has fully recovered, Super Nana is no longer limping and will start swimming next week. She's seeing an orthopedist tomorrow to make sure everything is healing correctly.

Yesterday brought sad news to Blogville. For those of you who read her blog, Past Imperfect, Pat Mckay has passed away. Her son, Andrew, announced her passing on Facebook this weekend. Over the years, Pat was a gracious and lovely blogger and I shall miss her gentle spirit.
Kim Ayers has written a beautiful post about Pat and their friendship. Whether you knew/read Pat's blog, I hope you'll read his tribute to a good friend to us all.
The Lady Savvy has COVID. Poor me, Supernana, am limping around waiting to get it. Everyone will have to eat Top Ramen and toast since that's all I can make.
Pray for us,
Supernana
10/10 UPDATE:
I'm still COVID-free. Savvy has eaten other things, but not much. Mostly she is sleeping. By the way, I can cook. I just really really don't like to. The MITM is better. I think he enjoys having the big TV all to himself. I knit a scarf, read some books, limped around, and watched baseball. All and all it's been a weird but quiet week.
The MITM has COVID!
@$^%&*!!! dammit
or as Cap't Chaos said, "Welcome to the Ship of the Damned!"
Crazy times, right, sweetpeas?
I've been busy ignoring the news and watching The West Wing. The MITM has developed (started slowly) a cold (not COVID) and is sort of down for the count. Yesterday, super nana tore a muscle in her calf, so she's down (6-8 weeks healing time) as well. To top things off, BKM got sick at school, so she's down, too! At this point, I'm the only one half-standing! (Don't ask)
So, what's new with you?
p.s. I'll be back eventually
