Meh, washed my hair

When I get depressed my personal grooming takes a nose dive. My hair gets clumpy. Its short so it sticks up on my head like a baby chick's.

I turned off the news. I doubt pres musk can cut my ss and Medicare. I am feeling for federal workers. Id be very worried. My university librarian friends whose places get NIH funds are scared. I'll keep contacting my reps, but they're on board with all of this based on their answers to me.

We shall overcome I pray.

I'd send him an email about an issue I felt strongly about, and he'd send back a longer email telling me why he was right and I was wrong. Used to drive me nuts!

Then the congressional district boundaries got redrawn, and he was out on his ass! I found out he became a lobbyist after he lost his congressional seat, and has probably been getting rich as hell ever since. But I'm still glad he's not in the House voting against everything I care about.
