Self Satisfaction

 What would happen to a society in which we were all satisfied with ourselves? My nose is fine.  My weight is good.  My pirouette is perfect.  Would this eliminate most mental illness or would this just make certain types worse?  Imagine not being hard on yourself because you didn't need to be, weren't taught to be.  I often wonder what I could have achieved if I hadn't been plagued by self doubt most of my life.  Would I be a linguist, a teacher, an archaeologist or artist? Would I be all those things? If I hadn't thought I was ugly could I have been pretty?  If I was pretty could I have been any of those other things?  I guess I'll never know for sure.

Voyager

 I finished DS9 and am now rewatching Voyager.  I'd forgotten how annoying Neelix can be.  Still, it's a good diversion with the Covid numbers rising again it's a necessary diversion.  I also downloaded a few episodes of a Netflix series called Seis Manos.  Looks interesting. We will see how that goes.  

Four Seasons Landscaping

 My mom, despite video evidence, doesn't believe the Trump press conference by Rudy took place in the parking lot of a landscaper in Philadelphia.  She refused to acknowledge the event at all.  Says it's made up.  I think she has cognitive dissonance. I think a lot of Republicans do at this point.  

The Presidency

 On March 4th 1801 the second president of the United States John Adams refused to hand over office to his main rival at the 1800 election Thomas Jefferson. The rule of midday January 20 had not been written yet. Despite his stubbornness, THE OFFICE SIMPLY LEFT HIM!

After Thomas Jefferson was sworn in at an event which the incumbent refused to attend, White House staff started to remove the president’s belongings from the White House (Adams was the first president to reside at the new official residence). All security organs cut all official communication. All presidential staff stopped taking instructions from Adams – THE OFFICE MOVED.

From that time all incumbents at the White House prepare early to leave in-case they see signs of losing to avoid humiliation by the independent organs of state (The Military, The secret Service, The CIA, FBI and all White House staff. They all operate under a code - that of serving a man/woman who has carried the WILL of the people at an election).

As soon as Biden clinches the 270 votes and is officially declared by all returning officers in the states the following is going to happen:

1- The secret service divides its attention between the incumbent at the incoming President.

2- CIA begins to brief both (including top secret intelligence which is traditionally reserved for  one individual-the commander in chief).

3- The counter intelligence teams of the CIA which ‘spy’ on The CIA also begin to brief both.

4- White House staff begin to prepare to re-do the house in-line with the taste of the president elect.

5- At Midday on January 20 White House staff remove all his belongings from the house and bring in the belongings of the new president  (they wait for no one’s instructions).

6- The deductions for White house rent on Trump’s salary stops in January.

7- The deductions for Whitehouse rent begins on Joe Biden’s presidential salary in January.

8- Melania Trump stops being the boss of Whitehouse on January 20 at midday.

9- Dr. Jill Biden becomes the boss of Whitehouse on January 20 at midday.

10- At midday on January 20 all the power organs of the US cut official communication with Trump; The pentagon, The CIA, The FBI, The Attorney General. The secret service maintains minimal communication since it is going to guard the x-president all his life.

11- The BEAST and AIRFORCE ONE salutes Trump for the last time and move their attention to Biden. The BEAST begins to carry Biden’s blood samples as is the tradition.

Without instructions from any one! It has been so for over 200 years.

Blood

 Got blood work done this morning. I hate fasting blood work.  But apparently the lipid panel was done by this afternoon so they not only emailed me the notification but also called me. While I was trying to have a nap of course.  I really need to try to remember to put my phone on silent when I try to nap.  I also got 4 text messages. My nap wasn't as restful as it could have been, lol.  My fault. It was around 2:30 when I lay down for my nap. People in general know not to bother me before noon unless it's an emergency so technically I was fair game.  Now I'm blogging from my bathtub.  Because I can. 😁 I am supposed to go on a day trip with friends tomorrow so I'll throw some laundry in after I'm done so it can be drying. I don't use a dryer. Technically I have one but I don't know if it works.  I don't own a tv or a microwave either.  Yup.  I'm a weirdo.

Sleep

 Now that Biden is president elect, I will sleep better.  The problem is the fight it's going to take to get Trump out of the White House.  He's going to kick and scream like a toddler.  Hell, it would probably be easier to get rid of a cockroach infestation than get Trump out of the White House.  In the meantime I'll sleep better knowing that at least Biden doesn't want to kill me.
