Had a great day. I had energy and motivation. My blood pressure was normal this morning. That probably helped. Managed to get quite a few things done around the house and time in the kitchen. Today's project was fruit pizza.
It was nice to feel my body relax. The last few days, almost unbearable. And it's hard to write of them - not just for professional reasons but private ones. I found out new bits of information and it stuck in my mind. Did I really need to know? Something I keep wondering. It's hard to write tonight but all day I stayed busy to turn off the thought processing. I felt like a hamster on a wheel.
Honestly if I had sat down and wrote it all out, probably would have made some incredible insight into deep subjects - yet instead, I managed to do a lot of physical labor around the house.
I have enough real stress in my life that it's difficult to have an emotional response to media articles - especially headlines and people making absurd claims. Yet these types of things exist. I glanced at an article stating that the Department of Education was deleted. And it was phrased that way, like an entire organization could be instantly obliterated like a tweet. That's not how life works.
Like, I get it. I'm sure that every manager on a bad day might have a simple fantasy to just fire all the workers and/or start over. Similar to a man who wants out of a marriage and cheats. But is that an effective way to solve problems, or lead? Feels shortsighted.
A real leader should inspire change from within - through their actions and spirit from thoroughly knowing the problems at hand. Someone no longer intimately connected has no problem destroying a house/project and an outsider was never invested in the first place.
We are currently observing this scenario in real time. It's extremely predictive. These men having existential crisises are....well, it's a sign of instability and immaturity. Adults should be able to emotionally regulate themselves. Having a bad day and taking it out on other people is not okay.
What are your thoughts on the Trump administration's plans to eliminate the Department of Education?
This is just off the top of my head but it's going to be possible to run a successful campaign and once elected? Have access to every single email, text and phone call made during these times and figure out - was this necessary?
And more importantly - who thought this was a good idea? Who reaped reward from removing resources from special needs children?
I have nothing better to do with my time.
