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.

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!
