But it seems every hieroglyph gets whitewashed eventually

Overnight the weather has gone subtropical: I fell asleep after it was light out and even then we lay sweating on top of the covers while the air came in like heat-shimmer through the window fan and the cats tried to melt themselves into the hardwood. I have the blinds drawn; I'm drinking cold water even though it makes my teeth hurt. We need to get our air conditioner out of the storage unit and fast.

The twenty-four-hour news cycle has become more like twenty-four frames per second. Yesterday 45 claimed that "no politician in history has been treated more unfairly" (to which I found myself responding on Facebook, "Definitely not any of the asssassinated Presidents of the United States") while today he invokes witch hunts, of which again there has never been a greater victim than himself. I saw a macro of Joan of Arc last night: "Bitch, please." [edit] Points to the representative from Salem.

Here's what I hope: that Robert Mueller is honest, and good at his job, and has security who are the same.

At which point the heavens opened again, and it's still pouring 24 hours later. Hope that wasn't our entire summer!

In today's failure to approximate spring, we had blasting, smothering heat that actually drove me out of the apartment and into air conditioning until after dark (we got our window unit out of storage tonight and it is clunking away as we speak, thank God) which then imploded into a thunderstorm shortly after midnight. I'm hoping it makes a difference to tomorrow's heat and humidity, but I'm not willing to put money on it.

I hope your thermoregulation has come back online!

As for 45, there's something very disturbing about watching a grown adult, never mind one in his position, throwing more tantrums than a 2yo spoilt brat!

People keep comparing him to a child, which I find unfair to children. Children don't know yet. Children can learn. A seventy-year-old man who has spent his life in the public eye has no excuse.

I'm back to normal, it really is a very quick turn-around once I get a new patch in place (of course sometimes inadvertently triggering withdrawal leaves you feeling so crappy you can't think clearly enough to realise what's happening - that's fun). And managing to get 6 or 7 hours of sleep overnight certainly helped, it had been about 12 hours total since the weekend before that.

After the brief flirtation with summer the weather here has settled on cold, grey and wet - more March than May. I'm not sure whether I envy you the heat or pity you the humidity.

And it is unfair to compare 45 to children, most of them are far better behaved than he is!
