The YIN:
Some photos hubby Ranger Leon sent from "The Office" today. Out with some co-workers patrolling the wilderness and a cave.
The YANG:
Me, on the other hand, not so great. Still exhausted from four horrible nights of not sleeping due to pain of one limb or another, acid reflux (we went to a pot luck), phlegm in my throat, anxiety about not sleeping, etc.
So when my cousin called and asked how I was doing...I hesitated and she asked again.
"Well, I'm just tired."
So she tried to be both sympathetic and dismissive.
"Yeah, I'm just so tired. Tired of everything. Haven't slept in four nights. And if you must know, just so tired of politics and the fucking republicans who are going to ruin this country. And we gays will all be marched off to concentration camps."
She tried being reassuring, puzzled about why I was so upset. And trying to tell me it couldn't be that bad. And asking where I am getting this from (like it is all left wing propaganda or something)
And I yelled at her telling her not to even try to argue with me. And more. But I won't bore you all with that.
Not feeling great about going off on her but we don't ever talk politics. She is, I believe, single issue, anti-abortion. So you know what that means. So I think I took the opportunity to attack her indirectly without accusing her of voting republican (though I'm pretty sure about that).
Kind of like, "you'll see, just wait." I just will never understand the other side and how they justify their beliefs.
