2025 Life Logs, Day 113: Political Calendar a Bit Overwhelming
Date: Wednesday, April 23, 2025
Weather: Mostly Sunny; High Temp 60, Low 45 degrees F
Location: At Home on Lakeview Avenue with My Shadow, Falmouth, MA
The high temperature today was 60 degrees which indicates to me that I should have felt warm in the sunshine, but it still feels chilly to me. I did do a little yard work, but it is going to have to feel a bit warmer before I spend a lot of time outside gardening.
I did not attend the weekly Indivisible meeting last night, but when I got the follow-up email today, it was a bit overwhelming.

And this might not be everything. Add some of these to your normal calendar, and like I said, it is a big overwhelming. But these are not normal times, and we all have to do what we can.
While I am writing this, I am listening to Rachel Maddow list all of the things Trump has done, and then reversed, in his first 93 days in office. The number of flip-flops is unbelievable. That could be funny except for the enormous irreversible damage that has been done. That is no laughing matter and overwhelming as well.
