In Denial

 Like many US citizens, I am in denial over the acquittal of a president that everyone seems to agree is as guilty as blood laden sin holding an ax. I have read that the republicans in the Senate secretly admit that they acquitted him because they fear him. I am glad that Romney had the moral strength to fear God more than he does a mob boss. That alone gives me hope. But for the most part, I am like Cheese here, I just want to curl up under the covers and pretend that none of it ever happened. I wish that I could say that I am looking forward to a red tide sweeping the country in the fall. Right now, I just don't think that will happen. There are too many people who feel the strong economy is worth putting up with an astounding lack of moral character. I wonder how they will feel about the strong economy when they find their Social Security checks cut and they are expected to pay a larger portion of their Medicare to preserve the tax breaks for corporations and the ultra rich.

Instead of hanging out on Facebook or watching Rachel Madow lately I have been working on my crafts. I finished the pair of socks for my sister and immediately started a pair for my niece. But I like this pair so much and they match so well with a sweater that I have, I may have to keep them for myself and make another pair for Nora. The cross-stitch is supposed to be a cover for a small notebook. But I have a hand carved frame that I found at an antique shop that I think may be the perfect thing to show this off in. I'll have to see.

Today I paid all my credit cards. I think that tomorrow I will go to the library and work on my taxes. They have someone there on Fridays to help senior citizens with get them filed. I think I may manage to get a few dollars back this year.

That's pretty much all I have for today. Life isn't exciting right now.
