i have a quiet morning for once. Ilanka was kind enough to watch the kids for a few hours last night before my mother-in-law got off work to pick them up so that daecon and i could have our one night a month off. i started a new character last night at AIT. it was fun.
i have things to do. homework being the most important of them at the moment, but i want my goofing out of the way off first. i’ve been catching up on my blogs and reading some news. i can’t say i like what i’m seeing these days. lots of ugly things are coming to light about the current administration. i write my letters, cast my votes, and go through my closet for old clothes to donate. i’ve volunteered my time for answering phones for refugees looking for family. they have yet to get back to me. i’ll try emailing/calling them again soon.
outside of that, i am just thankful that i have a roof over my head, food in my kitchen, and a family to come home to. i’m thankful that i don’t have to worry about neighboring tribes trying to burn my village, or religious zealots keeping my kids from getting vaccinations. i do not take my voice and my freedoms for granted, and i am hoping that maybe, just maybe this disaster will shake millions of people out of their daze.
