Here we go again.
I want to say Trump doesn’t have the attention span or the stamina to get his entire agenda through. However, this time around he has more enablers around him. He’s already doing quite a bit of damage, and so far I’ve only seen a handful of executive orders be halted by legal action. It’s been a productive first two weeks, for most of the wrong reasons. At least the federal funding freeze was put on hold. The cabinet confirmation hearings have been cringy. The portly old man wanted panic, division, and confusion, and he got it.
Other notes:
+ The laptop I’ve been using for 6 ½ years crapped out right after New Year’s. Geek Squad diagnosed a heat maintenance issue, and suggested buying a new laptop. I had to use my sister’s Best Buy credit to purchase the new computer. A week later, I discovered that my new writing device wasn’t compatible with my 13-year-old printer. On a lark, I opened my old laptop... which was working fine, albeit slowly.
+ I don't have the latest version of Microsoft Office on my new computer, so I have to type this on Google Docs. I can't find my font, so this is probably how my blog will look from this point on.
+ Speaking of money... I inherited my parents’ health care plan, and my monthly premium with Blue Cross had increased to a point that I need to weigh my options. (It’s triple what it was in 2018, but that’s a whole other conversation.) I went on the ACA marketplace around Thanksgiving, and found a plan with BCBS that was similar to my old plan. I didn’t realize I was supposed to cancel my first plan after my second plan started, and after a long customer care call, I had to wait two weeks for a refund. At least I did this while Biden was still in charge.
