I’ve been alone since Tuesday, taking care of the house and the animals, and I’ve done an OK job. It’s not particularly difficult, it’s just more than usual, remembering times and paying attention to the distress barks if there are any. And today I woke up i’ve been getting up a little bit earlier and doing some of my social activities before I start other things and it’s interesting but if you are in a good mood when you go on Instagram you tend to see good mood posts and I click like or heart on a lot of them and that seems to set the mood for the day Being Canadian I don’t get a lot of the American political disaster posts. There are a few,

but they’re from people I have specifically clicked follow because I like the way they present themselves in the discussion. There certainly are two sides to being in a cult or watching other people be in a cult.

It’s particularly fascinating as a spectator sport when the cult is branded as a political party which of course it has almost nothing to do with the political party My theory is that the lunacy that is the president currently is a distraction while things are going on in the back for the day that either they have to take him out or take him out or he dies. And if he does die, I suspect that he was probably taken out anyway. Some of the distractions are so amazingly complex and well planned that even the people on the intelligent side of the spectacle are fooled, and the conspiracy theorists are actually right, even if they don’t know it.

Anyway this wasn’t supposed to be a political blog that was the whole point of not looking at those things in the morning but it is tough to not be a spectator in any case the end result is that I’m in a pretty good mood this morning and I didn’t even start the day with my typical drugs although I did get to them and now I’m in an even better mood I have a presentation to my customers today will probably go OK I don’t know they’re not really very good in meetings I wish that were not the case but you can’t choose your clients. I guess you can.. What is that saying, you can’t pick your friend’s nose?

I fear I have gotten off track, but that’s OK That’s what you do when you’re in a good mood, you go with the flow. It’s now time to go let the dogs out and then sing the song Who Let the Dogs Out because that’s an instinctual thing that my brain does, I forget the word for it.

Me: What’s the word for that mental situation where you’re triggered and you start singing lyrics or repeating words
AI Responds: That’s often called echolalia, which is the repetition of words or phrases someone has heard. When a person repeats their own words, it’s called palilalia 

Cool. That isn’t built into WordPress (yet), but I turned on voice-to-text and asked my phone. 

Anyway – off to feed the animals!
