06-24-22 A day of dread
I heard the news today, oh boy…
Jan 22 1973 … 49 years later the 7-2 supreme court decision was overturned putting the control of women’s bodies back in the hands of individual state politicians. Are we seriously reliving the last century? A pandemic, wars, suppressing of women’s rights, earthquakes and famine. What is happening here. RBG is spinning in her grave. Trumps three appointed Supreme Court Justices and three others voted to overturn Roe v Wade. The Handmaids Tale is on my mind; I can feel the heaviness of this decision, and can’t help but wonder if it is merely the tip of the iceberg.
On a much more personal note I learned today that my friend who has been battling well against his cancer for the last couple years is losing that battle. It has metastasized into his brain. Jay is a joy filled, skilled musician who I am glad to have met and spent time with. On Sept 8th 2012 I was at his 50th birthday at the Canoe Club where he played and laughed and I saw how many great people he attracted into his life. We shall all miss him when he is gone.
I spent a great deal of time on many things today, a few of which I got paid for. I made enough to get my nails done at least. I was having trouble with keying errors, they had grown out so much. I chose hot pink and sparkly pink to try to boost my mood. I think the drink from the Cannabis store is doing a better job of relieving the headache and allowing me to put my head in the sand for just a little while.
Apparently there are new visa requirements for the EU coming up as well. I will need to check in to that…
