Last night, I didn't get a good night's sleep. Although I went to bed earlier than usual, I passed out around 2 am, and woke up sometime around 5 am for a bio-break. At this point, my body was awake enough to resist falling back to sleep, causing me to wish that I didn't have lunch scheduled with "Short" Vicki today.

Vicki made a mistake in the choice of restaurant. She thought it would be open at 11:30 am, and it didn't open until noon. This didn't matter much, as I noted that I was feeling a little bit "Off" today. Could it be the ennui I've been feeling as of late? Or, could I be suffering with over stimulation to what's going on in the world as of late. In short, I don't feel like I'm accomplishing much, and that I don't have the energy to participate in life. Hopefully, Vicki will understand the mental malaise I've been dealing with lately.
We caught up on what's been going on in our lives, and I realized that she and I live in two very different worlds. She's out and about regarding her sexuality, where I still keep part of myself in a closet - for practical reasons, given this administration. Vicki said that I shouldn't fear US Customs upon returning to the US from a cruise, but I can't be sure of this given how border control has been hassling "certain people". I don't want to get caught in their BS and be the person who has to fight to defend myself. But then, I'll admit that I could be over reacting to the news as of late. Yet, I feel that my knowledge of history is telling me to be werry, werry careful - Elmer the snowflake may soon be hunting transgender wabbits.

After lunch, I went home to rest. And I know that I passed out on the couch watching TV. This is what I needed, although I am likely to be up through the night. I'll catch up on some of my chores tomorrow....
