So, today was the first day in a very long time that I came home from work and did not have a cranky, bossy tortie cat nag me to feed her.  No ghost has visited me, yet.  Often, my dead cats make a brief appearance, but not always.  

There was a lovely article I wish I could find about making room for your dead friend.  The gist was that since your newly deceased friend can no longer inhabit the world, they will move into your head, and the article was tips and tricks for how to welcome and live with your new room mate.  I looked for it a while ago, but couldn't find it, as my google-fu is not great.

I was not thrilled with the election, but I was locally very pleased and nationally hopeful.  It is not all I wanted, nor even all that we need, but it has a bunch of good things in it.

I woke up, last night, to the news that Trump has fired Sessions, which terrifies me.  I do not know how this will go.  Watergate gives me hope, but Trump has far fewer morals or qualms than Nixon.  Which is a perfectly terrifying sentence to write.  Hell, Trump has fewer morals than _KIssinger_.  Saints preserve us.  Days like this, I wish I was a theist.

Yeah. I just wanted (and expected) one day off after the canvassing and phone banking and fretting.

I don't have the proper commentary to do my laundry. It is really strange and unsettling. I do have the helpy Ninja, at least, but he never orders me around, he just tries to bury himself in my clothes.

I too would have liked a brief respite. I've read several arguments about whether this Sessions thing was planned for right after the elections or whether His Hideousness threw a tantrum because of losing the House. His so-called press conference was a terrible exercise in irrationality and pique. And I'm actually more scared about his treatment of Jim Acosta than I am even about Sessions.

sorry about losing the companion
even grumpy ones care

trump just gets worse
wish they'd chin his doors shut
and take away the phone.
