Life With Jules, and other stuff

Today, America inaugurated a new President and Vice President. It's funny. For four years all I heard from people was "Not my president" about President Trump. Friends and family who didn't like him it was always "not my president." So now I have a choice. I can be a better person and not repeat that to them or I can say "not my president" when Biden does something they don't like. I haven't yet decided, but I'm leaning toward the latter.  Not very Christian of me, but my God forgives. Today was an historic day. The new Vice President is (unfortunately) the first female, African- and Asian- American to hold this position. You might wonder why I say unfortunately. It is simply because this country is not ready for a female to hold the position of Vice President or even President. We. Are. Not. Ready. No, I don't particularly care for her either, but that's a whole other issue. Maybe I will discuss it in another post sometime. For...

Well, America made a definitive mark in history this week. We became more of an eyesore on the world stage thanks to a bunch of people who thought they were acting on the behalf of our sitting president. While I have been a supporter of President Trump the past few years and believe he has done a great job in this role, I do not condone the violent actions that took place at our Capitol on Wednesday afternoon/evening. I do not believe, however, that the people who rioted were actually Trump supporters. I feel they were anarchists embedded within the group who were peacefully marching to the Capitol building that day. I don't blame Trump for what happened there on Wednesday. I blame the Capitol Police for their failure to have enough manpower at the ready. They knew that Trump was holding a rally just down the road. They knew that some might be pumped up after. They should have been more prepared and had better security at the Capitol building including National Guard members, FBI, ...

I cannot believe it is 2021! Last year flew by so quickly despite the pandemic. Our nation has seen so many changes, good and bad. I'll let you decide. As for me, I am still employed thankfully. I had a boss who once said "be careful what you wish for" and I once wished I could work from home. Well, as of March 23, 2020 I have been doing exactly that - for both jobs. And I loathe it! But at least I am employed so I can't complain much, lol. It's been a bit difficult adjusting to this work-from-home even 9 and a half months later. I don't really have a great set-up for a home office, but I make do. My sleeping habits were already horrible because of PTSD issues and bouts of insomnia. Working from home has only made it worse because my bedroom doubles as my home office. So I spend the majority of my days in my room. On the bright side, I made it through the year without any serious illness. I truly believe I had the illness the week of Christmas and the week aft...
