Roe v Wade is complicated for me. Don’t get me wrong, I am not happy it was overturned. As a young Born-Again Christian I wrote a letter to the government asking them to outlaw abortion. As a 30 year old, I kept the child of a rape, adamant that I did not believe in abortion for myself. As a much older, hopefully wiser person, I fully understand the my body, my choice mentality. There are so many things that change with time; gay marriage, women’s vote, people can’t be owned. What person of any ilk thinks going backwards is a good plan? We need to care about each other more than an ideology. Unless you have experienced something, a tough choice, you do not have a say. Mic drop,
I learned today that Christina Applegate has MS. I am so sad for her, not just because she is a celebrity but because it is robbing her of who she is. It wouldn’t matter if she was my garbage man, I would feel the sadness of this news. That she has to experience it in a public forum is even worse, surely adds to the horror.
I awoke to much snow, shoveled my way to the car and finally made it to the office. I seem almost anxious at the length of the list of work. Today I knocked a bunch off the list but it doesn’t seem to take the feeling away. I have to keep reminding myself that it is only the beginning of the month. And I need to not read tone into email and texts that are coming in and take caution not to answer with implied tone. Somewhere at my core I feel I am letting someone down and I don’t even know which someone that is!!
I unfortunately didn’t even stop to eat today so I made a good dinner when I finally got home.
Ramblings, that’s all I got. Well, there was this good moment this morning when I stopped at Street Angels to drop off socks and toques. It was closed but there was a nice person who struck up a conversation and when she observed I was dropping off and I said yes, socks, she looked down at her wet feet. I offered her the bag and suggested she share the wealth. She lit up and gratefully accepted it which made my day start off promising.
