As I write this, the US war against Iran is in its 3rd day. Our president has made the major mistake of having peace talks while preparing to bomb a country. America is about to get into another Vietnam, without any of the support it could have had if this were a just cause. To make things worse, it feels like the war was started to cover up the Monster's presence in the Epstein Files. I wonder how many people will die because this madman wants to have a legacy that survives him
Why did I open with this?
Over the weekend, the most common thing in our YouTube feeds were talking heads and their discussions about the war. It's hard to escape the insanity that is going on in the "Real World" when a madman's fancies are destroying everything America stood for. I'm glad that my nephew is out of the military, as he'd be part of the cannon fodder the Monster is using to achieve his goals.

Neither RQS nor I bothered getting dressed today. It rained a little and the snow has melted a bit. Soon, parking will be "easy" to find as before the snow storms hit. Today was one of our relaxation days where we did nothing, save for having breakfast and dinner. I shouldn't say we did absolutely nothing - RQS finished the reorganization of her storage shelves, and things are much easier for her to get at.
Part of me is looking forward to going home tomorrow. My reasons are simple - I want to get back to work on my cruise cost calculation spreadsheet, and I can only work on it at home. This has been a fun project for me, and something I will likely keep playing with as time progresses. I already have some enhancements I'd like to work on that would make the spreadsheet much more useful. But it will take some time to implement them.
My brother looks like he'll have a new job, and it looks like we have new tenants for the family homestead. Although we will have money coming in, we will either need to reinvest it in the house, or let the next owner do so. I'd have rather sold the property, but the timing of everything is fouling that plan up for now. Assuming he has the new job, I'll get together with him for a last dinner before he moves out of town. Yes, he'll be returning home to check on things now and then, but things won't be the same as before. I'll likely get stuck managing the property - something I don't relish doing.

At least, we caught up on our sleep for a change....
