I've been kind of quiet lately. Not doing good mentally. Just depressed. Hard to get anything done. Being unemployed since May doesn't help.

Its been a rough year for me. I've been unemployed since May, lost my father in March and my Uncle Joe in October. But sincerely, in the words of HRM Elizabeth II, I wish you all, wherever you and whatever your condition, a very Happy Christmas.

I'm going to throw this put into the ether. I just found this young man's channel (I'm 54, I can use that term, right? lol) and he is well-spoken and thoughtful in his reviews. I have thoroughly enjoyed the three videos I've watched so far.

So there's a very obvious "look how much of a hairy mess I was!" route here that I'm going to avoid. This was my first day out at work, having told the team the day before. I was 2 months on HRT and unbelievably nervous, but it all worked out in the end!

Chivalry, Day 9.
Mercy.
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.

Inflation is at 2.4%. Crime is at historic lows. Employment is at record highs. MAGA will soon leave their pitiful scared bubble and believe these things to be true after denying them in their own mind. They will attribute these things to Trump. Deny them their delusions.
