I got my final Covid vaccine today – YA ME! But I have a feeling that I will be completely useless in about an hour (1 pm east coast time) or less, so I am going to get a few random thoughts out before I fall asleep for most of the afternoon.
Random thought #1: I was watching the premiere of Family Karma (yes reality tv “I love it, it’s my thing, let it go” -Miranda Hobbes, SATC 😆) and one of the cast members discussed getting Covid, which impacted his 😊Crohn’s, and he became depressed as a result. At the same time, he and his fiancé were fighting a lot and she broke up with him. Now she has a very alpha personality, as did my ex, and I wonder if alpha personalities see weakness in people with depression/mental health issues (with my ex, it wouldn’t surprise me 🙄). It got me wondering: causation, correlation or neither? Thoughts 🤔?
Random thought #2: About a month or so ago I picked up The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy for a variety of reasons, but especially to read to my darling nephew the next time he comes to visit. It is such a sweet, short story with beautiful lessons sandwiched between his art. I hope you will consider checking it out. https://www.charliemackesy.com
Random thought #3: This is more of a follow up than a random thought. When I wrote the piece on Naomi Osaka, one thing I couldn’t understand in all of my reading was what caused her to drop out as she had addressed accepting fines for skipping post-match press conferences. Here is the rest of the story. And those officials should be ashamed of, and punished for, their despicable behavior 😡😡😡. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/06/02/naomi-osaka-mental-health-french-open-violated-law/7493794002/?fbclid=IwAR3G6TZWU4wJt79Im69ceR_zk7RaBo1W1QekitciekZlUvjjSkY1N6PdosI
Random thought #4: One day soon I will learn to do a better job with links and embedding videos 😁.
Random thought #5: Whether you’re laughing with me or at me, at least you’re laughing and I’m ok with that 🤣🤣🤣.
Last random thought for the day: I have said this before, but I think it needs to be said again – I don’t care who you vote for in any election. Even if I disagree with your choice, I stand by your right to vote. Can you say the same thing of your legislators? I know I can’t. End Voter Suppression!
So those are the things running through my brain today, the good, the bad and the ugly. If you need to purge your thoughts too – the comment section is always open 😊.
Note: 1:04 and I’m about out of it… To be posted later 🤪
