Exploring resistence

Trump.....
is a huge distraction.
And all this.... legal.....nightmare....
::shaking head::.
entitled, litigious, combative in his world view.....
it's familiar, and I'm so very sick of it.
Sick.
Sick of watching the circus.
Any circus... all of them.
On the whole, I'm trying to ignore the news, but I do check in.
No....
I check to see if Trump's been outed.... for whatever it is he's done or can be PROVE he's done....
for whatever he can be exposedjust exposed, and in a way that his sycophants can't defend. And if his sycophants DO continue, despite all evidence, I pray that reasonable men and women are somehow heard over the crazy.
We head out of the Country tomorrow, and I feel OK about it. Like I have enough done, handled, under control to breath. I want to dance and laugh with my cousins.... remember being young with them, and celebrate the first wedding of the next generation. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
My back went out.... a friend adjusted it, and it was the left side of my neck causing the lower back trouble. He was right on target, and I'm feeling up to lifting and lugging heavy suitcases..... whew.
I'll check in once we're settled: )

Do you think the wider world affects you more when it echoes things you've been through, Lighter? We've got a very right wing government at the moment who are about to team up with a political team in Ireland who are anti abortion, anti gay, don't believe in evolution and so on. Way, way out of my sphere and I find it very difficult to cope with being part of a minority who, it seems to me, are far more level headed and grounded in fact than the people in power. To me it echoes my family dynamic and I think that's why it makes me feel so uncomfortable (or more uncomfortable than it seems to make a lot of other people, at any rate) and I wondered if you find that, too?
I hope your back is okay! The wedding sounds like fun, I hope it's a lovely trip and that if your back plays up its from dancing, not from lugging suitcases :) x

I'm on phone when it dying battery but here's a quick update.
Canada great..... the Blue 🐋 exhibition is at their museum now....so cool! We loved it. Weather great. Food lovely.
Niagra falls we're a lot of fun. Amazing at night.....went to scary houses and mazes with competitive members of our group. Fun was had by all.
On to wedding in Ohio and these cousins are the sweetest funniest ever.....we worked hard to decorate rustic historical barn and laughed a lot doing it. I held lots if babies and danced my feet off.....we all did. We put candles all over the walls on ledges......it was beautiful and the act blew arcticc cold across the dance floor. They had a small vanilla cake with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream then many different cup cakes for guest.....looked festive and delicious. BBQ wAs very good...open bar with gf choices....a lovely light lemony Sangria was very popular...... everything went well and on time. I really love
We're hitting a cool vintage shop on way out of town....a good time was had by all.
Light the entire process of decorating weddings.
Hopalong:
Amen to the national nightmare, Lighter.
It's the backdrop of all other emotions I'm feeling these days.
Digging deep for a crumb of faith but there's so much GRIEF
for the beloved country.
The KKK is coming near me (nearer than you can imagine) soon.
After that a similar group.
I'm sickened by it all.
love

How threatening to have the KKK so close, Hops. Why are they there? Hopefully it's for a short time, and not permanent.
I didn't watch the news while traveling. It's too alarming.
The wedding couple are from different races. It was uplifting to see cultural diversity celebrated in Ohio.
Remember there are rational people willing to do what's right in the world too, Hops.
