I am having an awful day. I feel physically nauseous from the stress and sadness. I’m regretting my dry January goal because JFC a bottle of wine sounds great right now. I might need to just drive somewhere pretty on Sunday and try to focus on that instead of everything happening around us.

I mean...lol

Yes, Dry January has been canceled.

@levioosa I'm very much feeling the same way. I just want to get into my car and drive. But also, there's no where to go and it's fucking freezing outside...lol.

This is actually the first year I've even heard the phrase "Dry January". I ran across it last weekend.

In the extremely Catholic-centered state I reside in, that's what Lent is for, lol.

As if today needed to get shittier. FI’s BFF has been in the hospital for a week on the vent. So has BFF’s dad. We just found out BFF’s dad passed away from COVID.

OH no @levioosa I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry! I hope BFF gets better.

@climbingsingle I'm sorry for your losses as well.

Sorry for being MIA - the holidays sucked and New Years shocked me by being harder than Christmas. Didn't see that one coming. Then I found out I was exposed to COVID so I've been pissed and quarantining. But my second test came back negative so yay.

I started my second job this week so I've been busy. I also applied for a State job that is totally not what I've ever done but the person who would be boss encouraged me to apply - fingers crossed. It's looking more and more like I won't be returning to my old job and my boss/BFF told the owner so yesterday.

Updates from yesterday - Pelosi has now also called on the Capitol police chief to resign and it looks like he will. H woke up to a text about a bomb threat in the MI Capitol this morning. So now, we're looking forward to his swearing in next week. /s

The number of people who believe these ridiculous Q theories ranging from Wayfair sex trafficking to election fraud to Antifa started the riot yesterday make my blood boil. People are commenting H's twitter saying things like "You haven't seen anything yet (edited for typo," and my 19 year old cousin is posting conspiracies. I don't know how I'm supposed to ever invite my family to my home again when so many of them support these crazies.

Oh yeah, and on a lighter "yes, many Congresspeople are real people" note, H was texting with our Congresswoman yesterday to make sure she and her staff were okay. All she could talk about was her concern for the kids watching this on TV and how scary it must be for all of them. Despite all that, she was worried about other people. It broke and warmed my heart.

Levioosa and MrsMitten - Hugs to you both.

I too have been thinking about @VarunaTT. Hope you’re ok!

@missJeanLouise, I can’t remember if it was you or not, but someone on here posted about a massage gun. It was $99 and sometimes I saw it as high as $119. Wellll I added it to my cart and have been keeping an eye on it. It’s now $89.99 with an additional $6 off. I’ve never seen it that low. If this wasn’t your brand OP - the reviews seem fantastic!

So while my 2021 “goal” (not resolution, I don’t make those) was to not spend money as frivolously as I did in 2020.... this is a “medical” purchase so there! I’m saving from all the trips I won’t need a chiropractor for my hip!

I bought a massage gun after my PT used it on my leg. Definitely is't a frivolous purchase but a medical one!

Thankfully I've avoided the TV for most of the day. I couldn't pull myself away for a lot of last evening and it really affected my brain. H and I spent the majority of the day cleaning and organizing the unfinished area of our basement. I have piles of stuff for our kids to either claim or throw away. We consolidated totes of stuff, and I made a run to donate a carful of stuff. It feels so good to accomplish something like this - can actually see the result of all the work. Now we have to get the big Christmas tree down there. H still has electronics to go through and figure how to dispose of them. He also has some other stuff to deal with and I need to keep on him about that. The last time we cleaned and straightened down there he was suppose to deal with that stuff, and it has just sat there for a couple of years.

I also squeezed in a training session with my personal trainer, an Italian lesson and a virtual doctor's appointment.
